Is going to mars a good thing?

We as humans are the dominant species on earth. In fact we are so dominant that we just keep growing and growing and growing and we need more space, so we just walk in and destroy another animals habitat thus adding to the "humans have murdered" list. Although I admit that going to mars might help with some over population problems, are we realy willing to do the same thing we're already doing here on earth but on a planet wide scail? And what about all of the plants and animals that need to go there. By forcing certain animals to breed in a completely new environment you'll be altering the actual species. Just imagine, a few thousand years from now when we've colonized mars there'll be the same problem of over population and polution there was before plus we'll have recked another perfectly good planet. Through evolution we might end up with key differences between species. Natural selection is based on the environment. You've just drasticly changed the environment. We might end up with two different species. Earth cows and mars cows. Everyone always assums that someone in the near future is going to clean up this mess that we've all made. We were saying that 10 years ago too. I don't realy believe that someone is going to clean this up quickly and easily. If they are they'd better come along quick to match everyone's demands. Honestly. We all think that dumping the world's problems on someone elses shoulders who's slightly smarter than you is going to solve everything. We need to preserve the planet until we find the proper slow and practical way to fix this. Save the environment. I know you've herd it thousands of times before but now you know some of the reasons behind it.

Exams don't help anyone!

Hi! I'm a student in the middle of exams and I'm just going to say right off the bat that I hate them. As you know from reading the rest of my blog I am all about evolution and natural selection. Right now I'm going to focus on the second bit. Exams are like natural selection except with a way lower student survival rate. There is way to much at risk based on exams. Their a pointless risk to the mental health of the students by over stressing them, not to mention the teachers. I have a fealing no teacher looks forward to those long hours of correcting after the exam week/weeks are over. So why over stress everyone? Because the school board thinks it's fun! Maybe they'd look at it differently if they were part of it but Noooooo! They just sit back and watch as everyone else beneath them works themselves to death. Good for you school board! Nex't you'll be telling students to jump off cliffs and say we're learning about air resistance. Ha! Ha! Ha! See you later students!

History is delicate. Don't touch anything!

It's been a commun dream of writers to imagine what would happen if humans had time travel. If you ever have the oportunity to time travel, don't touch anything! If even the slightest thing was changed, all of history is altered. I'll use the extinction of the dinosaurs as an example. Supposedly the dinosaurs became extinct when an asteroid hit the earth and whiped out almost all life. After that there was an era of small creatures including the future dominant species, mammals. That extinction gives you the principle example of natural selection, the strong ones of the small ones survive. But it was also the survival of the lucky. The lucky in this case were smaller animals. If that asteroid hadn't hit earth or if it had been smaller the earth might be ruled by the descendants of dinosaurs and human's might not have evolved. Things in history happen by chance just as much as anything else. If you were time traveling and happend to touch somehting that changes that, however small, you would alter reality. Even if we all wish we could go back and change things from time to time, trust me, time is delicate, it can easily be riped apart. Do something in the past. Possibly even save someone. And you might prevent yourself from being born. That in turn would prevent anyone from changing reality back and history would procede on a totaly new course. You would create a chain reaction that would become irreversable since you hadn't been born, you couldn't change anything. Congratulations! You've ruined everything! I hope I've gotten my point through. Whatever it is, no matter how embarassing it was, get over it. It's not worth it to change anything. Live life in the present. It's not worth it to wish you can change the past. You don't want to.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

If you believe in creation you believe that the chicken (along with everything else in the world) was created in seven days. But as I have said before I am a darwinist and here to denounce every religion in the world. I wouldn't be honest if I said that the chicken came first. Species evolve to adapt to an environment so they have a higher chance of survival. The stronger ones live. They live on to create a new breed of that animal. The ones with the adaptation outlive the ones without. Millions of years there's another adaptation and the same thing happens. The strong ones survive. Eventually somewhere along this chain a creature was born that was very much like a chicken. It had an adaptation that allowed it to outlive others of it's kind. Millions of years later after that particular species has taken over, another adaptation occurs. The first chicken is born from an egg that came from a chicken like bird. The chicken then took over from the chicken like bird thanks to it's adaptation. The strong ones survive.

Calvin for president!

All of the Calvin and Hobbes fans who read this blog know as well as I do that having Calvin for president would lead to world chaos and probably death to everyone not in a nuclear bunker. First of all Calvin would probably issue flame throwers and war supplies to every kid in the states. Calvin is also very impulsive, reacting imediatly and rationaly to any insult. So we'd all be in prison, shot down or blown up. Not the most enjoyable choice in the world. Still this is completely unrelated to anything realy happening in the world. Or is it? As Calvin said in on of Bill Waterson's comics " Everything that has happend up to this point has happened so that I could exist." After that he whent and watched tv but that's not the point. Come to think of it there is no real point to this article. Don't vote for Calvin! Vote for Hobbes! You know you wanna!

The world is doooooomed! ...... But not for a while anyway.

With all of this global warming going on everyone thinks that there’s an overabundance of carbon dioxide or co2. The world is clouding up with co2 and we’re all going to die because of global warming and lack of oxygen right? Wrong! (Except for the global warming part, we’re not sure about that yet.) The planet Earth is actually going to run out of co2 before it runs out of oxygen and a lot of other things too. Why is this a bad thing? Plants absorb co2 and create oxygen and put that back into the atmosphere. Oxygen is a byproduct of their photo synthesis, how they get their food. We humans (and other animals) breath in, absorb the oxygen in the air we breath and expel the co2. The problem is we don’t create carbon dioxide, we just take the oxygen that’s in the air and spit out the co2 that was already there.

Right now with global warming humans are getting concerned with putting to much carbon dioxide into the air. We try to burn less gas and fossil fuels and find cleaner things to use for energy such as solar power, good for us. Eventually the Earth’s atmosphere will run out of co2. No problemo! We’ll just start burning fossil fuels again. The problem with that is that there’s a limited supply of fossil fuels and other elements that emit co2. So with all this talk of being fried off the planet because of the green house gas effect we’re still just going to suffocate eventually anyway because all the plants will die from a lack of co2. With our oxygen producers gone then we’ll suffocate.

I think I’m just getting ahead of myself and the world. This won’t happen for at least another 2 billion years. Please don’t think I’m against all of these “go green” campaigns. Save the environment! I’m just saying we’re all dead anyway so let’s enjoy life while we have it. Besides we’ve got all of these other problems in the world to deal with besides planning 2 billion years ahead. Have fun breathing! Worship the platypus! Do it!

Don't question evolution. Or else!

First and foremost I am establishing myself as a Darwinist. I am a rock solid believer in evolution. Those christians and religious people reading this blog that take offense from non believers LEAVE NOW! If you don't mind me denouncing christianity and pretty much all other religions read on, be my guest, just don't say I didn't warn you!
