I've not read that particular Dawkins title, so I can't say for sure but I'm assuming, like his others, it's a very detailed metaphor. If it isn't, I'd disagree with him unless he specifies an atypical definition which I'm sure he'd allude to.
Geerup, on the other hand, often confuses fact and metaphor, even during our short dialogue.
If you could define "digital process" for me, I'd certainly give you my personal answer :)
Richard Dawkins kind of explained it like with Telephone lines; in an analog system all the static accumulates over a long enough line that if you go far enough all that you'd have was a hiss.
Unlike digital, where you can send it any distance and the quality will have almost no problems at the end.
I'd describe the "digital process" myself, based on what he said, as simply copy+pasting a Word Document; there are seemingly no problems no matter how often I make another generation, each ->(1)
Ah, then his bit on DNA sounds like a metaphor for the fidelity of replication and translation to me (which, to be fair, is awesome but not perfect).
As for the nervous system, the digital side of things could pertain to individual nerve cells firing or not, and the analogue could refer to scaling from "oo that tingles" to "ZOMFG THE PAIN"
Dawkins does love his metaphors, but with scientific education and awareness as it is these days, we need every skyhook we can get :)
People don't say 'game of soldiers' any more and middle class estuary accents are banned by the new world order. Please adopt the statutary fake cockney in your videos in future please.
Personally I'd ban boring Monty Python videos like this one too. Let's face it it's total shite. 1/5
Oh come now, there are plenty of fictional stories that turn out to be interesting. And this is all from a best seller, it couldn't be that difficult. :P
Oh who am I kidding, it is like making the Nostradamus quatrains interesting. Not to be taken as an easy read.
I`m glad you brought up the drosophilidae experiments, i think that research deserves more attention here on youtube.
Another bit that should get more attiention is
the many observed instances of speciation that so many creationists like to pretend don`t exist. Also, i tend to Agree with your description of nephilimfree. that guy scares the alleles out of me
Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to pose unto you a conundrum!
It is possible to make this vid a video response to the original thread the tale describes. I am hesitant to do so right now, because I'm a little intoxicated after celebrating the success of this endeavour, and not sure how well it'd go down.
So, should I send the response request to the infamous Geerup?
Let's hear what you think, and I'll go with the majority vote!
Is this the reasonable liquid awesome that is available to most people that can only take so much awesome or the full on pure awesome for those that can take it?
I found it highly entertaining that you were that diligent in correcting their BS. Show commitment.....although i think to be fair save it or the most truely annoying 'tards
Pure goldenish pwnagliagistic perfection!!! How did it take me > 2 months to find this most singular channel? 5'd 'n fav'd 'n sub'd and all that, of course.
To call this video awesome is in no way sufficient to describe the "Quadawesomeness" of it! THIS my friend, is what I call weapons-grade pwnage! If I could stand, I would stand up and cheer :D
After i have completed the first chapter of only a few pages, and i email the green brothers about it, i shall send the pages to you, so you have a sort of framework of the characters and style of the comic. It's semi-influenced by Freeman's Mind, so you'll hopefully love it, and have no problems with writing it :)

Huh interesting, so when Richard Dawkins was describing in his book "River out of Eden" the genetic code as being Digital, is he incorrect?
Would the replication of DNA be a digital process, or was he wrong about that as well?

document is just as legible and useful as the next.
He also contrasted it to the human nervous system, which is a combination of Analog and Digital, or so he said.

(3) Though in summary, it's most likely that it's a metaphorical thing as you said.
