Please note the difference between mutation and DNA damage. In contrast to DNA damage, a mutation is a change in the base sequence of the DNA. A mutation cannot be recognized by enzymes once the base change is present in both DNA strands, and thus a mutation cannot be repaired.

The revolutionary war was. The civil war was a foolish attempt to create a slave empire. Still not strong enough. The Court was designed to be far removed from politics so reason would reign. It has become too political. That was a test of your understanding of Constitutional law.

Do you want to just trade google searches? Please expound on this yourself.

The declaration is not a document that is binding on the government or its citizens. At this point it is aspirational only. Rights are codified in the Constitution but the scheme is weak as the penumbras in the wind. And, no direction on how to handle competing rights is given. Level of...

Nope. DNA does not just reset. Harmful mutations are removed from the population when individual member's fecundity is drastically reduced.

Human Rights can be a helpful concept but there are so many flaws when trying to apply them in real world dilemmas! I prefer Essential Ethical Principles.

When one defines what constitutes an illness solely based on how his tummy feels when he thinks about something, he is being narcissistic. When one ignores several independent lines of research that have meaningfully described what constitutes a mental illness and what does not, he is being...

The use of the word message (and code even) are only metaphors to help us understand. There are no senders or receivers per se. Gene changes effect structures directly. A protein with different properties is created. Like in creating curly hair instead of straight. Curly hair lets the head...

There would only be marginal fluctuations. We see large upswings more frequently than probability would allow.

No clue means no evidence. No evidence means no justifiable belief. Have you read the old testament?

I can't tell if you got the joke or not.

Listen to the whole speech and take the excerpt in context. I fixed the link.

Taking the focus off a war criminal to service hate of Biden and the soothing feeling that a belief in a controlled conspiracy can provide is a foolhardy stance. Putin and chaos are very real threats in this world.

It was puffery about SPACE FORCE. Sorry to let you down.

So? Species are operational defined within relevant fields of study, though there are different definitions in each. No, it's not. It's one definition of speciation. Two species can find their own niche within the environment and not be any less fit overall. Capitalizing words does not...

This is what you do not get: No creature is born drastically different from its parents. Also: There is no such a thing as a kind, per se. There are distant relatives that lose the ability to procreate with one and other. Novel combinations occur all the time. What is the actual biological...

This is just inaccurate. What was once a semi-reasonable concern has collapsed over time. Remedial forms have been found in almost every lineage in recent decades. The bat lineage still has a few gaps but otherwise everything is falling into place. Truth of the matter is: every fossil is of a...

You yourself have 70 to 200 mutations. How are you feeling? Mistakes that increase variability to be selected from in a population can and do lead to improvements. E. Coli that metabolizes citrate becomes the norm in environment where there are none of the usual sources of nutrition. Yes we...

There is no need to be that reductionistic. The whole is greater than its parts. On what basis? You reject empirical method. At least I stay in the real world.
