Yes evolution is proven fact. It does not explain the origin of life, just the origin of species.

And yes, we can see evolution occuring on a human time scale. Interesting fact... 8% percent of our species DNA is directly retroviral in origin... meaning our ancestors had viruses insert themselves in thier DNA which was then passed to thier progeny through thier gamates. Whats more awesome is that some of viral genes are now essential to very human functions (eg formation of the placenta)

you are right! I think we have to put more energy in projects from the sealife.

What a bunch of self important twats!

that's fair enough. many people would completely stop all space programs given the chance, but i think its too greater opportunity to avoid.

I'm just saying, our Earth is going to last a whole lot longer if we care about it.

Space is big, but until we can find a way to make it possible to go farther out there in one lifetime... We should focus on Earth more. That's not to say stop space stuff in general; There's a lot of people on this planet. We can all contribute a bit to each.

[Splooshiba]

but, if we stay on earth, we are 100% going to die in the long term. if we branch into space, the possibilities are endless.

oceans are very finite, space is.. huge

@Splooshiba

Space is so far mostly empty... while the ocean is brimming with life.

The idea of life on other planets is cool... But we have so MUCH here! And no one cares.

...

Yeah, space is cooler, but the ocean's more important. We could potentially all die if too many species go extinct. (Potentially is a key word here.)
