So 2 scenarios.. 1. There never was a moon, could we expect life in any form? 2. If it was removed now what might the effect on Earth be? Thanks

I didnt mean to put defect, I shouldve put change instead. I was just trying to recognise what causes mutations, I thought that it was mostly to do with changes in offspring rather than desease etc

I thought mutations were genetic defects that can be passed down through generations? Surely there were a lot of mutations early on that effected small groups and tend to have little effect in large groups later on when the species gene pool is strong

This is an amazing answer, simple enough for me to understand yet answers my biggest misunderstandings! Superb work

Thanks very much to you and your biologist friend! I will read up on the hemophilia mutation

Without ways to efficiently process food, get rid of wastes, and seal the organism's internal systems from the outside world, complex life cannot develop. Youve just sent me on another tangent :woot: why did we ever (again I say we as the whole spectrum of evolved life) start to need oxygen...

No because the answers here have been very helpful

Just to let everyone know I fully understand the difference between blind assertion and imperical evidence, and that science doesn't really deal in facts, only theories that advance and become a body of evidence. Can I point out I mentioned atheism because I knew some of my questions would seem...

Just out of interest, when we send out unmanned crafts, do bacteria from Earth travel with them and enter mars's orbit? Maybe this sounds a little silly but obviously some bacteria can survive the harshest of conditions

But the baby kangaroo climbs up into the pouch when its born, this is literally its first moments. There must be some instinct passed on, it can't be tought

Its ok I've just looked into how memories are stored and I don't think I need to discuss it on this thread and also its going to get off topic. Can we continue about domestication being passed down, because it is interesting

But if you take an individual memory, its a very complex image or mental video, surely it must be stored in the mind as a type of data? Its in there and can be accessed, its unique too, so as a stored unique thought, surely it must have some sort of a pattern or code etc *maybe this is for...

Thats on topic for me, because I think that domestication over time is further proof of evolution. I wonder how information is preserved and passed down from generation to generation. On a basic level, instinct. I suppose its proof that the brain is a physical organism that works within itself...

There is certainly enough detail in these previous posts to form a detailed understanding, I thank you all for such in depth analysis, it will take me a while but I think I can find some foundation there for sure. Could we discuss (and this may sound crude or silly) the mental stimulation...

I think that we are dealing with each issue as it comes, this specific issue has become deeper but I think we are on the cusp of resolving it and moving into another sub topic. As the original poster I feel that this is leading very nicely through each specific query. Though I am certainly not...
