Fast? I would hardly call it that! And no, evolution doesn't have limits because a perfect entity can never exist

I don't know what technology has to do with this...are you trying to compare the evolution of technology to the evolution of life? Yeah, that comparison doesn't work...

You're probably right, considering the evolution on life depends on the length of generations

Well, I was looking at some Pr0n in another tab, and my wiener evolved into something much larger and much harder right in front of me, so yeah, I guess evolution happens pretty quick...

That would be a failure of evolution--when a species indulges in behavior that would destroy it.

I woke up with a tail and an extra eye after a party one time. Evolution is pretty fast, or I need a good lawyer.

That would actually be a failure of knowledge. LSD and Mushrooms have a combined death rate of 0 from medicinal and recreational trials.

Still waiting for the obligatory "Evolution doesn't have any speed because it doesn't exist" post.

It was Watson and Crick, not Cricks only. They both shared credit. So..."Ya to shut u all up".

And they both had alot of help from Rosalind Franklin's x-ray crystallography work... she should have shared in the Nobel prize but unfortunately they don't award it posthumously. (she died of cancer before the Nobel prizes were awarded)
