Re: coming up for air!
Greetings homunculus,
you're a little bit new to the forum and so I hope you don't mind me pointing out a small tip for you. You edited your post (this one that I'm replying to), and if I'm not somehow screwing up the timezone or something else, about ten {ABE} nine hours after you originally posted it. I remember reading the original post and do not remember there being anything about "primordial environment" therein. I'm assuming you have added the last sentence by editing your post. Is that right?
Editing is important for clarity; but it is only fair in debates/exchanges like we have here on EvC forums, to show the proper flow of ideas and exchanges in a stepwise logical progression. What I mean is, that you should not change or edit your posts for content after you have posted them. If you must, for whatever reason, then at least do so by showing what has been changed. There is a convention used here of placing new material beside an abbreviation called {ABE} which stands for Added By Edit. There is also the possibility to give a reason for the editing done in a small field in the user interface GUI. I would appreciate you doing that in future as to me these forums are quite a good source of understanding and should remain so.
Edited by CosmicChimp, : Screwed up on the hours, nine not ten (my reason for editing my post).

Re: definition(s) of evolution
You would not give up so early would you? It looks to me as if you might have given up on your search for what really happens. Why do that? You came here with a motive to find out about what really happens in the biological world. Take the good advice offered from the smart people here. You still have the chance to learn something new. "Old school" doesn't have to be Kindergarten. Besides, you're practicing/improving your written communication skills, that's always a plus.
{ABE} You have still not properly addressed so many issues raised by so many concerned forum members. Go back through the material posted by several responders on this thread, you will certainly agree that they have not been answered at all. They brought up salient points for you. You should respect them for their efforts. After all, they have read and considered the material you have posted.
Edited by CosmicChimp, : Tacked on some new stuff I just realized.
