Re: Creation/Evolution Thoughts

Yes, the editing is a bit shite, and the video is rather too oversharpened.
Not to mention this video isn't scripted, so, I take full responsibility for any stupidity displayed in this video :B

quick thing :> Tihktalik can't be decared a direct ancestor, it's too far back, for all we know it's a dead end, a sister species, or something completly unrelated to the species that evolved onto land, the last is unlikly, but we don't have enough information to be sure.

@wolfwing1 fair do's, that's what I get for reading off of a picture on wikipedia :B

Tell me, did I even get the right sort of era?

[wolfwing1]

@lewiseu yeah, think of it like going to a town where you know your ancestors came from and finding a tomb stone there with your family name, it might be your cousin, it could be a distant relaive, or unrelated to anyone of your family that lived there at the time, but it does at least show those with your family name lived there, so you can trace your family back that far. *meh probably a bad anology :>*

[lewiseu]

@wolfwing1 I didn't need the analogy, I knew what you mean't the first time, as mentioned, I simply read it off an image from a wiki article, particularly as I recognised the name, and it (to me) looked like the right sort of era.

Thanks for the response...Some of these are not easily explained but I can appreciate your answers...Self replication must be an important key to all life...Without such an ability, life never could have continued to exist beyond the first organisms...As for the stars absent from pictures taken from the moon, I just wonder why they did not photograph just the space without the moon in the shot...or photograph the sun...Seems to me that such photographic documentation would be important to study.

@stonedcommander Not to mention, it's extremely likely that the camera systems they took were probably precalibrated to only take photographs with moonscape exposures in mind, space suits are, after all, bulky, not really suited to operating a camera. And even if exposure control was available, the cameras probably lacked the resolution to be able to take a photograph of the stars with any scientific interest.

thumbs up

[wolfwing1]

@lewiseu good video though, keep up the good work :>

[wolfwing1]

@lewiseu No no you needed my great wisdom111!!! j/k :>

Sorry was almost more explaining for anyone else that might read the comments that might not know :>

@stonedcommander They may have done so, but, frankly, they're not that interesting photographs compared to photo's from the surface of another planet. Either way, there's no qualitative difference between photographs taken of the lunar 'sky' and photographs taken in space.
