Re: Explaining evolution, likely in vain

OK, why don't you start with the simplest life form of your chosing, put it in a test tube, shake it up for a few years, and see if a rabbit comes out. No, you can't do that because the theory of evolution says you have to wait millions/billions of years for meaningful changes to take place and real creatures to crawl out of that test tube.

All I can say from the above is that you know nothing about evolution. Try doing a little studying about evolution from a non-creationist source before making inane comments.

Re: Explaining evolution, likely in vain

It's not the half-life of U238 that you should be looking at stupid if you want to understand fission. It's how and why U235 fissions with slow neutrons, and how U238 can be made into U239 so it can also fission. You may not know this, but U238 also fissions very well, but with fast neutrons. Maybe you are the one who should learn some real science?

Big deal, I learned that in Jr High School. Also you left out the continuing stage of U239. U239 > Np239 + b^- > Pu239 + b^- It is Pu239 that is fissionable.

Re: Thanks to monkeys!

Given that Linnaeus grouped monkeys and apes most closely to Humans some hundred years before Darwin penned The Origin of Species, and apparently believed in the immutability of the species he was identifying, can it really be said that Evolution is required to recognise similarity?

Not to recognize, but confirm it.
