| If it were possible i'd love to shake your hand right now.
My current biology teacher most definitely isn't the type to shy away from controversial topics. We had a comfortable seminar the other day about evolution and religion. Unfortunately though, as interesting as biology is...I'm going to try to get into a school that has a major based on artificial life (A-life program at UAT). But i believe we have to know where we've been in order to know where we're going. Without an understanding of the functions of life how can one program theoretical functions for achieving sentience in artificial life(sure it might at first not follow all of the qualities that science requires in order to consider something living, but it's still an amazing subject to me).
I do have a question though. If evolution is based on some mutations and survival of the fittest, how(even if only in personal theory) have multicellular organisms developed organs that were not originally there? or, how would groups of cells become specialized into having the functions which they do today? |
