Freedom of Speech Further Eroded by Superstitious BS (Page 6) Riddler_This: More on the flu virus and colds... They are not 'evolving', these viruses under normal conditions actually 'de-evolve', what some consider 'micro-evolution' given the scale it is on. The virus's lose the part of their cell wall, or information, that is being attacked by the persons own immune system or white blood cells. It's a form of evolution called 'adaptation'. ♠_Krash_♠: @riddler,john and talent... Thanx for your 3 varying answers,didnt know you 3 guys all were virologist,oh wait...your not.. Not sure why you cant except what some of todays smartest minds in society see as a given..oh wait..i do know why.. If it didnt exist then people definately wouldnt be advertising job vacancies on it would they...like Nebraska Center for Virology for instance,who are looking for an assistant professor,with part of the job description requiring Candidates will be expected to develop a nationally recognized research program in virology. Specific area of research is open; appropriate examples of research interests include viral evolutionary genetics, comparative genomics and proteomics, viral-host interactions, pathogenesis or epidemiology of diseases. Candidates must show excellent capacity to develop and coordinate interdisciplinary collaborative research with other Center and departmental researchers. Candidates will be expected to teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. (why would they want someone teaching something that doesnt exist) link - http://www.unl.edu/virologycenter/jobs_asst_prof_viral_evolution.shtml Or why would this man post an essay which has been verified from his peers...what man i hear you ask? This one,a pretty smart chappy apparently.. Edward C. Holmes is a Professor of Biology within the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, United States of America, and an affiliate member of the Fogarty International Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America His essay is on Viral Evolution in the Genomic Age link-http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.0050278 john1576: On behalf of the others and myself, thanks for the compliments Krash. May we also suggest you ask a friend (if you have any), to get you a Dictionary for Xmass. Then you may know the difference between 'Mutate' and 'Evolve'. Simple stuff really, right up your ally. ♠_Krash_♠: Take your arguments up with the virologist of this world,and the universities that teach it john. john1576: Krrash. You have an odd approach to debate in a 'Public Forum'. It is usual to presume good will in Posting and acceptable to comment on any subject, with or without official qualifications in that subject. You seem to know less about 'Virology' than I do. It is a Multi-discipline subject with experts in many different fields of research. ♠_Krash_♠: john If someone wants to say evolution in viruses doesn't exist,then its ok for me to post different veiws on the matter.. Dont like it,dont read it... Have emailed the university of nebraska and the centre for disease control on information reguarding viral evolution,will post as soon as i get a response.. Have a nice day john1576: Hey Krash, do you think you will get a reply? In England they would tell you to f@ckoff, not in those woulds, but the meaning would be the same. Don't do it for me am not interested in their answer. ♠_Krash_♠: Why would they tell me to F#@k off?? Just asked them for some links to open studies on the issue.. Dont worry john aint doing it for you john1576: In England places like Universities etc are not noted for being open or friendly towards the Public here. So answering any enquiries you have would be out of character for them. Thanks for doing nothing for me, I would hate to think I was in your thoughts any more than I have to be. Talent_M: krash I'm neither virologist nor against virologists, virologists already found out that the virus is a complex microbe evolves its specifics and abilities according to the host it living in,it's already created like this, but this viral evolution can not be applicable for our human or animal cells,isn't right? secondly Krash I think the virologists till now havn't known the origin of viruses, they just discovered before 90 years ago, but I'm asking you again why can't we see the evolution is appicable on our cells, have you seen!!?? Point5andahalf: yeast evolved into beer first (Welll, alcohol is a byproduct of the yeast) ...then they learnt how to make bread, later on. it's natural flashie: but the point of this thread superstitious bs only exists now in our conditioning. we can blaspheme. if we want to. Talent_M: Krash I suggest you to read this on my blog about evolution theory. http://www.wireclub.com/Blogs/Talent_M/144069 | Religion Chat Room 22 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
