The hawk and duck *are* end products of an evolutionary branch. As are we. Whatever evolves from us will no longer be considered a homosapien.

I found out about Dawkins becuase I'm a fan of Dr. Who. One of the actors Lala Ward I found out was/is? married to him. I have been a long time fan of the Doctor, and I live in Kansas in the US. What a thread that lead to dawkins for me. I sort of heard of RD, before i found about his connection to Dr. Who, becuase I'm strongly against religion and his book the god delusion caught my interest.

@DrMontague No but they will be soon. Computers are becoming more and more advanced to the point where they can create their own algorithms and variables. I think one of the newer Futurama episodes, the one about evolution, makes a very good point about all this. I am not religious btw! :D

You can always have increase, even if there is a finite limit to it. Say that the maximum speed a horse can reach is 30km/h. Each new generation of horses can have the maximum speed of M + (30-M)/2, where M is the speed of the previous generation. Each gen will be faster but still always under 30km/h. It's sorta of a retarded example, but you get the gist of it. Logarithmic growth, in other words.

You dozy Indian twat. He means computers design computer chips.
DrMontague 2 years ago
But humans designed the computers, so he either means God or aliens designed the chips.

Computer chips are not a life form. e.g. a scientific calculator does not have life of its own, it still need a programmer to punch in numbers .. A hand held calculator can work out complex mathematical problems by punching in a few numbers but you do not consider it to be a life form Computers are merely elecrto-magnetic devices that store information in binary form, .because of this they are able to perform billions of calculations a second. They are simply tools not life.
