Whatttt (OP) User ID: 486356 Ireland 08/17/2008 10:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | DNA loses information every time a cell splits. Over many generations, how is this loss of information beneficial? How is it that DNA breaking down (increase of entropy) leads to it becoming more complex over time? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 482675This reminds me of the 100 monkeys story. There were 100 monkeys on a certain island that learned how to do a certain trick. I cant remember the specifics of it but you'll get the general idea. Well anyways, once one monkey figured this out it spread like wildfire too the rest of the monkeys on the island and they were all doing it. Now what was very strange about this was when all the monkey started doing this 'new thing', the monkeys in an island a mile or two away started doing it as well! And the two islands had absolutely no connection and were seperated by the sea. This would point to an even higher form of concious memory. A memory that is stored in energy rather than biological matter. |

Nay verily man becomes grossly overweening, whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: for behold unto thy sustainer all must return.
