Aberdeen
i/æbərˈdiːn/ (Scots: Aiberdeen 
listen (help·info); Scottish Gaelic: Obar Dheathain [ˈopər ˈʝɛhɪn]) is Scotland's third most populous city, one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas and the United Kingdom's 29th most populous city, with an official population estimate of 220,420.
Nicknames include the Granite City, the Grey City and the Silver City with the Golden Sands. During the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries, Aberdeen's buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, whose mica deposits sparkle like silver. The city has a long, sandy coastline. Since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s, other nicknames have been the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe. The area around Aberdeen has been settled since at least 8,000 years ago, when prehistoric villages lay around the mouths of the rivers Dee and Don.
Aberdeen received Royal Burgh status from King David I (1124–53), transforming the city economically. The city's two universities, the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and The Robert Gordon University, which was awarded university status in 1992, make Aberdeen the educational centre of the north-east. The traditional industries of fishing, paper-making, shipbuilding, and textiles have been overtaken by the oil industry and Aberdeen's seaport. Aberdeen Heliport is one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world and the seaport is the largest in the north-east of Scotland.

The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, the 15th largest metropolitan region in Canada. The largest city is Vancouver, the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada, the largest in Western Canada, and the second largest in the Pacific Northwest. In 2009, British Columbia had an estimated population of 4,419,974 (about two and a half million of whom were in Greater Vancouver). The province is currently governed by the BC Liberal Party, led by Premier Christy Clark, who became leader as a result of the party election on February 26, 2011.

Connecticut
Connecticut (i/kəˈnɛtɨkət/) is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. It is bordered by Rhode Island to the east, Massachusetts to the north, and the state of New York to the west and the south (with which it shares a water boundary in Long Island Sound).
Connecticut is named for the Connecticut River, the major U.S. river that approximately bisects the state. Its capital city is Hartford. Much of southern and western Connecticut (along with the majority of the state's population) is part of the New York metropolitan area; three of Connecticut's eight counties are statistically included in the New York City combined statistical area, the same area is widely referred to as the Tri-State area. Connecticut's center of population is in Cheshire, New Haven County, which is also located within the Tri-State area.
Connecticut is the 3rd least extensive, the 29th most populous, and 4th most densely populated of the 50 United States. Called the Constitution State, Nutmeg State, and "The Land of Steady Habits", Connecticut was influential in the development of the federal government of the United States.

Grace Church School
Coordinates: 40°43′55″N 73°59′26″W / 40.731892°N 73.990445°W / 40.731892; -73.990445
Grace Church School at 86 Fourth Avenue between East 10th and 12th Streets in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was founded in 1894 by Grace Church as the first choir boarding school in New York City. The day school began in 1934.
In 1947 Grace became a co-educational school and was admitted to the Guild of Independent Schools of New York City. In the following decade the school began to expand its facilities to accommodate a growing student body. From the original 16 choristers, Grace has grown to its current enrollment of over 400 boys and girls drawn from a wide variety of ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds. It offers complete secondary education from pre-K to eighth grade.
While the school has continued its close relationship with Grace Church, since 1972 it has been governed by an independent Board of Trustees, and it is a fully accredited member of the New York State Association of Independent Schools and the National Association of Independent Schools. In 2006, the School became a legal entity separate from the Church, and now owns the buildings at 84-96 Fourth Avenue, including the historic and landmarked church houses Clergy House, Memorial House and Neighborhood House.

Manhattan
Manhattan (/mænˈhætən/) is the most densely populated and the oldest of the five boroughs of New York City. Located primarily on the island of Manhattan at the mouth of the Hudson River, the boundaries of the borough are identical to those of New York County, an original county of the U.S. state of New York. The borough and county consist of Manhattan Island and several small adjacent islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall's Island, Wards Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island,Mill Rock, and U Thant Island; as well as Marble Hill, a very small area on the mainland bordering the Bronx. The original city of New York began at the southern end of Manhattan, expanded northward, and then between 1874 and 1898, annexed land from surrounding counties.
The New York County is the most densely populated county in the United States, and one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a 2010 population of 1,585,873 living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.5 km2), or 69,464 residents per square mile (26,924/km²), more dense than any individual American city. It is also one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, with a 2005 per capita income above $100,000. Manhattan is the third-largest of New York's five boroughs in population, and its smallest borough in land area.

Scotland
Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Alba ([ˈalˠ̪apə] listen (help·info))) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. Occupying the northern third of the island of Great Britain, it shares a border with England to the south and is bounded by the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the southwest. In addition to the mainland, Scotland constitutes over 790 islands including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
Edinburgh, the country's capital and second largest city, is one of Europe's largest financial centres. Edinburgh was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. This has given Aberdeen, the third largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital.

Ukraine
Ukraine (i/juːˈkreɪn/ yew-KRAYN; Ukrainian: Україна, transliterated: Ukrayina, [ukrɑˈjinɑ]; Russian: Украина; Crimean Tatar: Ukraina) is a country in Central and Eastern Europe. Ukraine borders the Russian Federation to the east and northeast, Belarus to the northwest, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the southwest, and the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to the south and southeast, respectively. It has an area of 603,628 km², making it the second largest contiguous country on the European continent, after the Russian Federation.
According to a popular and well established theory, the medieval state of Kievan Rus was established by the Varangians in the 9th century as the first historically recorded East Slavic state which emerged as a powerful nation in the Middle Ages until it disintegrated in the 12th century. By the middle of the 14th century, Ukrainian territories were under the rule of three external powers—the Golden Horde, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Kingdom of Poland. After the Great Northern War (1700–1721) Ukraine was divided between a number of regional powers and, by the 19th century, the largest part of Ukraine was integrated into the Russian Empire with the rest under Austro-Hungarian control. A chaotic period of incessant warfare ensued, with several internationally recognized attempts at independence from 1917 to 1921, following World War I and the Russian Civil War. Ukraine emerged from its own civil war, and on December 30, 1922 Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic became one of the founding republics of the Soviet Union. The Ukrainian SSR's territory was enlarged westward during the civil war shortly before, and after World War II, and further south in 1954 with the Crimea transfer. In 1945, the Ukrainian SSR became one of the founding members of the United Nations.

Yale University
Yale University is an American private Ivy League research university located in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 in the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States.
Incorporated as the "Collegiate School," the institution traces its roots to 17th-century clergymen who sought to establish a college to train clergy and political leaders for the colony. In 1718, the College was renamed "Yale College" to honor a gift from Elihu Yale, a governor of the British East India Company. In 1861, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences became the first U.S. school to award the PhD. Yale became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. Yale College was transformed, beginning in the 1930s, through the establishment of residential colleges: 12 now exist and two more are planned. Yale employs over 1,100 faculty to teach and advise about 5,300 undergraduate and 6,100 graduate and professional students. Almost all tenured professors teach undergraduate courses, more than 2,000 of which are offered annually.

Anthony Edwards
Anthony Charles Edwards (born July 19, 1962) is an American actor and director. He has appeared in various movies and television shows, including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Top Gun, Zodiac, Revenge of the Nerds, Northern Exposure and ER.
Edwards was born in Santa Barbara, California, the son of Erika Planck (née Weber), an artist/landscape painter, and Peter Edwards, an architect. He has two older sisters, Heidi and Ann-Marie, and two older brothers, Peter and Jeffrey. Edwards was encouraged by his parents to attend college before pursuing his interest in acting. He received a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in England and studied theatre at University of Southern California but by the age of nineteen was being offered enough acting work to enable him to leave college.
Edwards' early work includes a co-starring role in the TV series It Takes Two with Richard Crenna and Patty Duke Astin as his parents and Helen Hunt as his sister. His first starring role was in the 1984 comedy Revenge of the Nerds as Gilbert Lowe, though he had a tiny part in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, credited as "stoner Bud". It was his role as LTJG Nick "Goose" Bradshaw alongside Tom Cruise in the 1986 film Top Gun that brought his first widespread public acknowledgement. His character, who died in an aviation accident, was among the most prominent and popular in the film. He also appeared as a terminally ill patient in Hawks (1988) alongside Timothy Dalton, another role which brought him worldwide fame. He also starred in the 1990 movie Downtown with Penelope Ann Miller and Forest Whitaker. In 1992 and 1993 he played Mike Monroe in ten episodes of Northern Exposure.

Anton Yelchin
Anton Viktorovich Yelchin (Russian: Антон Викторович Ельчин; born March 11, 1989) is an American film and television actor. He began performing in the late 1990s, appearing in several television roles, as well as the Hollywood films Along Came a Spider and Hearts in Atlantis (both 2001). Yelchin later appeared on the television series Huff and starred in the films House of D (2005), Alpha Dog (2006), Charlie Bartlett (2007), Star Trek (2009), Terminator Salvation (2009), and four 2011 titles: The Smurfs, Fright Night, The Beaver, and the drama Like Crazy.
Yelchin was born in Leningrad, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union (later Saint Petersburg, Russia). His family is Jewish. His parents, Irina Korina and Viktor Yelchin, were pair figure skaters who were celebrities as stars of the Leningrad Ice Ballet for 15 years. Nationally, Yelchin's parents were the third-ranked pair team; they thus qualified for the 1972 Winter Olympics, but were not permitted to participate by the Soviet authorities (Yelchin has said the reason was unclear: "I don't exactly know what that was–because they were Jewish or because the KGB didn't want them to travel"). Yelchin's family moved to the United States in September 1989, receiving status as refugees from political oppression. As of 2007, Yelchin's mother works as a figure skating choreographer and his father as a figure skating coach, having been Sasha Cohen's first trainer. Yelchin's uncle is painter Eugene Yelchin.

Charlie Chaplin
Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, film director and composer best known for his work during the silent film era. He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914. From the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he was also producing them, and from 1918 he was even composing the music for them. With Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith, he co-founded United Artists in 1919.
Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. He was influenced by his predecessor, the French silent film comedian Max Linder, to whom he dedicated one of his films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the music hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. His high-profile public and private life encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin was identified with left-wing politics during the McCarthy era and he was ultimately forced to resettle in Europe from 1952.

(By Franz' own count, the character of Detective Andy Sipowicz was his 27th role as a police officer). He has also guest-starred in shows such as The A-Team. Other major roles were on the television series Hill Street Blues in which he played two characters over the run of that show.

With his FBI partner Dana Scully, he works in the X-Files office, which is concerned with cases with particularly mysterious or possibly paranormal circumstances that were left unsolved and shelved by the FBI. Portrayed by American actor David Duchovny, Mulder was a main character for the first seven seasons but was limited to a recurring character for the last two seasons because portraying actor Duchovny wanted to move on to the film industry.
Mulder made his first appearance in the first season pilot episode, broadcast in 1993. Mulder believes in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and a government conspiracy to hide or deny the truth of their existence. Mulder considers the X-Files and the truth behind the supposed conspiracy so important that he has made them the main focus of his life.

Harold Bloom
Harold Bloom (born July 11, 1930) is an American literary critic and is Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University. Since the publication of his first book in 1959, Bloom has written more than 20 books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. He has edited hundreds of anthologies.
Bloom teaches two classes at Yale: one on the plays of William Shakespeare; the other on poetry from Geoffrey Chaucer to Hart Crane. Some of his writing had reflected this teaching, from Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human (1998) to The Anatomy of Influence (2011), which he has called the summa of his career.
Bloom's career began with decades of studying the Romantic poets, in particular Percy Bysshe Shelley, W. B. Yeats and Wallace Stevens. From this study, combined with the influence of Freud, Emerson and many others, Bloom developed theories of poetic influence, marked by the publication of The Anxiety of Influence (1973). These theories dominated his writing for a decade, after which he began to focus on what he named "religious criticism", in books such as The Book of J (1990) and The American Religion (1992). Another shift in his career began with an impassioned defense of the non-politicised teaching of canonical literature in The Western Canon (1994). He has continued his religious criticism in books such as Jesus and Yahweh (2005) and The Shadow of a Great Rock: A Literary Appreciation of The King James Bible (2011).

Jew
The Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים ISO 259-3 Yhudim Israeli pronunciation [jehuˈdim]), also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and an ethnoreligious group, originating in the Israelites or Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.Converts to Judaism, whose status as Jews within the Jewish ethnos is equal to those born into it, have been absorbed into the Jewish people throughout the millennia.
In Jewish tradition, Jewish ancestry is traced to the Biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the second millennium BCE. The modern State of Israel defines itself as a Jewish state in its Basic Laws, and Israel's Law of Return states: "Every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh." Israel is the only country where Jews are a majority of the population. Jews achieved political autonomy twice before in ancient history. The first of these periods lasted from 1350 to 586 BCE, and encompassed the periods of the Judges, the United Monarchy, and the Divided Monarchy of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, ending with the destruction of the First Temple. The second was the period of the Hasmonean Kingdom spanning from 140 to 37 BCE. Since the destruction of the First Temple, most Jews have lived in diaspora. A minority in every country in which they live (except Israel), they have frequently experienced persecution throughout history, resulting in a population that has fluctuated both in numbers and distribution over the centuries.

Monica Reyes
FBI special agent Monica Reyes ( /ˈreɪ.ɛz/) is a fictional character on the American science fiction television series The X-Files. With her partner John Doggett they work in the X-Files office, which is concerned with the investigation of paranormal cases, dubbed X-Files. Introduced in the series' eighth season, Reyes would become a main character throughout the entirety of its ninth and final season, last appearing in the finale, "The Truth".
Reyes' first appearance in the episode "This Is Not Happening" was intended to add another character to the series who would readily believe in the paranormal, after the departure of David Duchovny and his character Fox Mulder. The character, and Gish's portrayal of her, have since received a mixed response from critics.
Due to their decision to continue The X-Files television series and try to appeal to a new generation of viewers, the production personnel knew from the beginning of season 8 that they were going to introduce another female character who would be a believer, as departing character Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) had been a believer. However, the writers wanted a different kind of believer character to work off of the skeptical nature of John Doggett, who had already been established. The writers were required to create a character who was unlike any of the preconceived main characters that were a part of the series. This female character was initially named Karen Miller and then Jane Jones before the name "Monica Reyes" was decided upon, named after a friend of series creator Chris Carter's acquaintance who had an art gallery in Vancouver.

Samantha Mulder
Samantha Ann Mulder is a fictional character in the television series The X-Files. She is the sister of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder and the daughter of Teena and Bill Mulder. As a child, Samantha was abducted, ostensibly by aliens, and was never recovered. It is this experience that drives her older brother Fox Mulder to join the FBI, and later take the reins of the X-Files section.
On November 27, 1973, Samantha was abducted by aliens from the Mulder family home on Martha's Vineyard, when she was 8 years old. Fox Mulder, who was 12 years old at the time, began his obsession with extraterrestrials as a result of this incident. Much of the show focused on Mulder's efforts to discover what happened to his sister. When she first appeared as an adult, she claims that she lost her memory after her abduction and was adopted by a new family, but she has been regaining her memory gradually during the last year before finally meeting her own family and Mulder. However, this person was later revealed to be one of several adult Samantha clones, all of whom were probably killed by the Alien Bounty Hunter.

Samuel Beckett
Samuel Barclay Beckett (13 April 1906 – 22 December 1989) was an Irish avant-garde novelist, playwright, theatre director, and poet, who lived in France for most of his adult life and wrote in both English and French. His work offers a bleak, tragicomic outlook on human nature, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humour.
Beckett is widely regarded as among the most influential writers of the 20th century. Strongly influenced by James Joyce, he is considered one of the last modernists. As an inspiration to many later writers, he is also sometimes considered one of the first postmodernists. He is one of the key writers in what Martin Esslin called the "Theatre of the Absurd". His work became increasingly minimalist in his later career.
Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation". He was elected Saoi of Aosdána in 1984.
The Becketts were members of the Anglican Church of Ireland. The family home, Cooldrinagh in the Dublin suburb of Foxrock, was a large house and garden complete with tennis court built in 1903 by Samuel's father, William. The house and garden, together with the surrounding countryside where he often went walking with his father, the nearby Leopardstown Racecourse, the Foxrock railway station and Harcourt Street station at the city terminus of the line, all feature in his prose and plays. Beckett's father was a quantity surveyor and his mother a nurse.

So you're looking for another band
Already planned and
You're lookin for another ace
For me to rock him in the face
Cause the full moon's risin
Over a black horizon
This time baptisin
Nothing changes if nothing changes
They're just label whores and I can take no more
Grass is always greener on the other side
Go run and hide, boy
Leave you feelin' for another taste
So we can rock this fuckin place
Cause the sky is fallin
And I'm far from stallin out
Evolution calling
Nothing changes if nothing changes
Yeah, they're just label whores
And silence rages more
He's gone
So you're looking for another plan now
He's down
So you're looking for another man now
One more zero
Nothing changes if nothing changes
Nothing changes if nothing changes
They're just label whores and I can take no more
So what
We can travel to the planets
Drive a mile through solid granite
Thrive in all extremes of weather
But we cannot live together
We have pondered our existence
Tracked the comets in the distance
But we're overcome with blindness
By an act of human kindness
We have ventured where
None have gone before us
But in matters fundamental
We are patterned on an old design
Welcome back Tyrannosaurus
Evolution is a state of mind
We have filled the halls of science
With the bones of mighty giants
They'd all been there for generations
Buried under our foundations
It's a page right out of history
Everything is still a mystery
All except for one distinction
We can stop our own extinction
We have set ourselves apart
From all that's gone before us
But in matters fundamental
We are victims of an old design
Here's your chance Tyrannosaurus
Maybe we can get it right this time
Grab a club and join the chorus
I'm digging with my fingertips
I'm gripping at the ground I stand upon
I'm searching for fragile bones
Evolution
I'm never gonna be refined
Keep trying but I won't assimilate
Should we have come far in time?
Watch the bough break
And I'm sorry, I don't believe
By the evidence that I see
That there's any hope left for me
It's evolution, just evolution
And I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside
Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Hold tight, I'm getting inside you
Evolution
And when we're gonna find these bones
They're gonna want to keep them in a jar
The number one virus caused by
Procreation
And the planet may go astray
In a million years I say
Those motherfuckers were all deranged
It's evolution, just evolution
And I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Take a look around
Take a look around
(Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around
(Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around

Take a look around
I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside
Why, why do I deserve to die?
Out in the garden there is a little white rabbit
Like Revlon torture for your clean little habits
As you wash your hair to keep it clean
You get to wonder why VosenesT green
And forget about the silent animal screams
Out in the garden there is a little white dog
Shampoo in your eyes like a burning fog
But it's tried and tested so you won't go blind
Animals killed for the good of mankind
For your shining hair so many have died
Out in the garden there is a little white cat
And you're catching cancer as you smoke that fag
"When will they find the cure?" you choke
When enough cats have died of smoke?
And they say that animals go for the throat
And the monkeys in the zoo they look so tame
In the name of science they removed their brains
To think that man evolved from this beast
Civilised savages down from the trees
The animals who run these laboratories
If God was egg, if six were nine... If time was never measured, only
killed in pleasure gardens of our making. If we'd never taken anything,
but only given... If we could forgive, forget and rearrange the patterns.
If you'd never thrown a stone or split the atom - ate the apple... if...
If I'd stayed alone in shackles feeling nothing, seeing nothing in my
head... If we'd shared instead of just collecting. If we'd never lived...
If... If we'd ever... If we never never, never land but fly without a
destination, cry without a cause, and lose ourselves for just a second at
the beauty of it all... Then maybe in the next life we'd be dolphins.
[Slimkid3]
Yo..inhale, exhale
Been a long time coming, still a long way to go
Evolution of manhood
Evolution, revolution
[Slimkid3]
Born with sight but became sightless
Rehabilitated visions from being frightened
In the dark, just bits of light when
Lightning sparks, thunder rumbled
Chasing courage from the heart
Searching for solitude without a solitary card
Knees bleeding but proceeding to pray to God
Forever humble but before a man boys stumble
Before there was peace vast lands had crumbled
Apart - from the truth a great distance
Met with many guides to provide assistance
To shorten that distance with me and the Maker
The mind was overthrown by the Undertaker
The Devil's a faker, see he lied to me
Singing sweet sad songs to mesmerise
But my eyes have seen four dimensions
Now gather your strength for all these bad intentions
[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]
That you seem to get when you get a little older
Days a lot colder, used to cry upon my mama's shoulder
Til pop finalised it, I analysed it, can fantasize
With your manhood, make your plan good
With the back up, unfortunately niggas act up
Seems to be no solution, too many facing execution
Then I know many ready to leave the revolution
On their evolution to manhood, manhood
[Chorus 2X: Diana Brooks]
When a boy becomes a man
Takes time to understand
The ways of the world today
[Chorus: Pharcyde]
Step by step, day by day
Don't let the negative vibes lead the 'Cyde astray
We keep the positive vibes till everything is okay
On the evolution to manhood, to manhood
[Imani/Citizen Strange]
We realised it then re-devised it then excercised it
Got connected and we checked and it's correct
That the soul extends far beyond this fleshy existence
The rest is still trapped in ignorance, giving resistance
From a distance, interference from far away
But neither Tim nor Anfernee had a harder way
On getting here, I'm spitting clear
Connecting with the energies from near and far away
Karma, karma come back like a riccochet
To hit ya so I'm coming with the scripture
For the fixture, get the picture?
[Chorus]
Count on the blessings received
eluding past fate in deceit
as I breathe inside tomorrow
I've been waiting all these days, to capture the flight
riding up, i'm closing on these gates
victory is nearing our fate
can't you see me rise, you cant stop the climb
living sacrifice, so we've paid the price
Never, be your own enemy
Hold on, remain in yourself
First animals, acclimatised
Bones that have changed, never the same
You’re so low
For what it’s worth
Before no time
You’ll be walking on your own
Isolation, no turning back
Untouchable, I’ll go on
Propaganda
So farfetched
Your last chance
To rule the world
Then mammals
Are customized
Their bodies go through change to survive
It’s all we know
For what’s its worth
I see there’s no evolution
Forced to grow
Forced to evolved
Why resist change
Open your mind
It’s beyond your life
It’s evolution
Why the fuck can’t you understand
Isolation, no turning back
Untouchable, I’ll go on
Propaganda
So farfetched
Your last chance
To rule the world
Isolation
No turning back
Untouchable
I’ll go on
Propaganda
So farfetched
Your last chance
Every time we talk, take a walk, was it good now?
The sky is gonna fall on us all for sure
Are we led along? Are we skin and bones, just for show?
Is there a solution or is it just evolution
I don't know
Baby take a bow to us now, put me in my place
Elevated sound coming down to the floor
The strongest shall survive
Be glad that you're alive tomorrow
Is there a solution or is it just evolution
I don't know
Ooh ooh
Every time we talk, take a walk, was it good now?
The sky is gonna fall on us all for sure
Are we led along? Are we skin and bones, just for show?
Is there a solution or is it just evolution
I don't know
Ooh ooh
Is there a solution or is it just evolution
Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
Time went by and the pool ran dry
Excavated was I and tempered
And beat in the fiery heat
By the hand of a man whose name was Dan
Dan the blacksmith
Well, once I was a daisy, many years ago
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
But I was on my goat who fell in a moat
And forgetting to float
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
And was relieved to find
Well, just how kind it all was
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible
I said, "Pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke"
Then I was born, a human baby, a many years ago
I remember I was born unto a lady, a many years ago
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child
Who turned out to be wild, sent the Devil a prayer
Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave
To lie and thieve on my way to jail
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
Known good times and disaster
But now I found a teacher
And my teacher has a master
And the master is perfection
So he'll help us get there faster
Don't need no proof, 'cause it's the truth
The whole world is tangled in reins
The horse's running fast, you can't tame it
Vision attack and the devil is hung on it's back
Lifestyle, a multiple choice
Captured by millions of voices
Dreams and illusions are forming the key to your soul
Don't give a damm to it all
Jump the train, hear the call
You're gonna fight this evolution, a revolution
Get ready to enter the race
Spread out your arms to embrace it
Wasting no time, reach out for the finishing line
Don't give a damm to it all
Jump the train, hear the call
You're gonna fight this evolution, a revolution
Don't you think you're out your mind
Life is too short to rewind it
If you're hiding your face
You're lost in the haze of a dream
Don't give a damm to it all
Jump the train, hear the call
[Vinia Mojica]
Here we are.. history repeats itself.. again
My angels say.. ignore his deceit and say
Children locked in, stone that's deep
Anything to, break the will
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
Evolution of, you and I
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
Evolution of, you and I
I'm breakin through, every wall I see, dividin
Can't keep me from mine, best believe, see me risin
Can't let no one take control of the soul I believe in
And these are my, little chains
Entertwining, confining, confined
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
Evolution of, you and I
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
Evolution of, you and I
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
Evolution of, you and I
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
Evolution of, you and I
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right
[Last Emperor]
In search of the love that's intangible
They got me locked like an animal, bust it
[Vinia Mojica]
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right..
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
Love will make it right..
[Last Emperor]
As Vinia Mojica delivers her siren song
Forgive me if I hear wrong, I don't think that I belong
in a security prison system that reads maximum
Deprived of what man needs most, social interaction
when I got locked up, for a series of events occuring
Now I'm somewhere between a slave and indentured servant
C.O.'s hate me, rehabilitate me?
They don't want me released back on the streets seein my lady
Questionin the mystery of life and how I should lead it
It wasn't in books, I couldn't study it or read it
I'ma tell you a secret if you promise to keep it
For now I realize the love was all that I needed
[Vinia Mojica]
Ask and receive, baby
Love is what we need, baby
The big desert is far from here
Scarlet clouds in the atmosphere
Built by hands of a million men
Darkest silence of a dead land.
Every night I say a pray
Asking god to see you again
I will bring you back home
Dead or alive, I don't know.
A million dollars cross the sky
Invisible plane a brand new kind
A million people cross the sands
Following the hunger guide.
I hear the siren in sector one
A new rebellion get your guns
Hold your breath if they are close
They take hostages to get drugs
Miles I'm walking seeing the hand of men
Destroying the land.
Is the future on my side?
Evolution
Self destruction
Space battles in the fifth war
Science fiction is for real
Happiness we never feel it
We only see it on the movie's screen.
Human being have a killer instinct
Though we came from the same womb
How can men celebrate
Everytime we drop a bomb?
Evolution
Self destruction
Disease and fear
I walk every night to see the end
To see the end by our side.
Very soon we'll be trapped in our own trap
Our private hell.
When there's nothing left to destroy
Will we destroy ourselves?
Yes!
Miles I'm marching seeing the hand of men
Destroying the land
Evolution
Self destruction
Evolution
No solution
Disease and fear
I walk every night to see the end
Come see the end
There's a law in what we do
We got a quest for something new
Everything you witness seems to
Let you down
If someone gets you from behind
I got an open mind
And you've been thirsty for the friend you found
Close your eyes and make a wish
I don't wanna mess with mother nature
Knowing that you're mine
You said I could see
You with another and we all get satisfied
(CHORUS)
It's a form of evolution
It's a kind of movin' on
An eternal source of pleasure
In being the one
When your love is for the giving
It's a case of destiny
You know we look for the same insane games
Got to be commital to be a little deviation
So I get all wound up inside
I can see your scene unwind
You dance together or you dance alone
And leave the real world in the air
Love it in leather I don't care
Everything is legal in the danger zoneClose your eyes and make a wish
Later we could cater to the animal
Knowing that you're mine
It's straight in my face
You and your lover and the brain is paralyzed
(CHORUS)
It's a form of evolution
It's a kind of movin' on
It's a cycle of emotion
In being the one
In the storm of revolution
What is done can be undone
You know we look for the same insane games
Got to be commital
To the subtle variations
(CHORUS)
It's a form of evolution
It's a kind of movin' on
It's a cycle of emotion
In being the one
If your love is for the givin'
It's a case of destiny
And you can find your source of pleasure
In being with me
(CHORUS)
(prostitution of the world)
dads abusing newborn blood prayers
from a priest in heat a piece
of body cut alive sold out for
the highest price
a god dethroned is fucking blind
stupid people fucked up minds
evolution
prostitution of the world
evolution
disillusion of us all
weapons kill your loves and lives
triggers pulled by children's eyes
politicians sell their souls
promise shelter raping minds
feels like violate the dead
shoot the bullet in your head
evolution...
getting obscene on the dead feel desire
for young flesh watch your bloody
lieing screen sacrificed for satans dreams
want to absolute your sins
just kneel down and suck my skin
evolution...
King tutt
U like the new frequency
U wanna feel it come with me
Think about it revolution
Do not doubt it this is our evolution
Yes im angry and bitter and often hear screams
See the people who struggle and im scared of these things
Nuclear weapons, corruption famine and poisoned steams
And if we don’t change our ways its what tomorrow brings
Revolving door has opened
I know u scared a choken
But u have my token
I promise im not joken
And some they will be smokin
But my third eye’ll be open
I am no longer hoping
Im creating worlds with focus
U like the new frequency
U wanna feel it come with me
Think about it revolution
Do not doubt it this is our evolution
A new kinda herb
It runs through your veins
Ur head it will turn
In new kinda ways
Ull think Im absurd
But I felt the rays
Don’t need your concern
Just hear what I say
Indigenous people
They knew this all along
We bowed cash and steeple
Consumers doing wrong
But you can feel it now
Life is yours to create
Your heart can heal and wow
If you just concentrate
Now You can walk calm
Or bounce with me strut
This is a new psalm
Jesus and king tutt
The lines in my palm
They say you’ll get stuck
Repeating my songs
And I don’t give a fuck
Cause this is not bout you
And it’s not about me
Its about the world baby
And how we set it free
The clock is almost there
Linear time is ending
No sense in being scared
Eyes never fire, they never blink, they never fade
And they always see
And without fear, and without greed, emotionless
They view us logically
The age of machines destined to rule all
The world of machines behind the fire wall
The evolution
No need for doubt no need for tears
No need for wealth no need for sympathy
They only wait bide there time
Calculate it all so patiently
It will come like the shadow of a cloud on a summer's day
Like the shadow in a picture, never goes away
Like a picture on a screen that you know is a lie
Long long long time ago
Katsute nihon no ashi de massugu to daichi ni STAND UP

HEY! EVOLUTION!
I'm back for more
This story's heading for it's final twist
(Heading for it's final twist)
I finally see what it means to cut you out
From the piece I'm left without
I tried to see this through so many times before
But you've always turned away
You're pulling me back
Path for war
Path for war
Trapped in fucking deceit beyond
I can't explain how I tried to splice my mind
I can't explain how much I wish you'd fucking die
(Wished you'd fucking die)
I want to know what you're thinking
When you find yourself alone
Do you even know what it means to be helped?
I'm back for more
I wanna tear you apart
I wanna see you fall to the floor
I wanna watch as you preach
You'll dread the mercy
For then you'll breathe no more
Breathe no more
Tell me what the hell were you thinking
Realize that past's are disgusting
I want to know what you're thinking
When you find yourself alone
Do you even know what it means to be helped?
I never thought that I'd find a way to say to you
I couldn't take anymore
I'd become some thing, a game, replaced every day
I couldn't take anymore
Can't take anymore
I'm not me anymore
I've given more
If you want me
Drag me to hell
Drag me to hell
If you had the chance switch your past
Until the day you'll lose away
I wanna know what you're thinking
When you find yourself alone
Do you even know what it means to be helped?
I never thought that I'd find a way to say to you
I couldn't take anymore
I'd become some thing, a game, replaced every day
I couldn't take anymore
My computer is future shockin’
download this and you’ll start talkin’
upgraded, you’re now walkin'
compatible with all that is rockin’
comin’ on fast, it’s getting’ digital
it’s so huge, like a spiritual
rippling out to every individual
this is life, and it's a miracle
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
On the periodic table they got it all wrong
let me lay it down for you in this song
people want PT, they want AU
but lemme tell you what you really ought to do
figure out ways to master silicon
fiber-optic connectors, whatever’s beyond
so many people don’t even attempt to understand
the limitless possibilities of man
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
I feel trapped, i gotta adapt
remain calm collecting before I get zapped
my computer is a rebel, acting all fine and
just like that payin’ me no mind
what’s up, is it's program over come by a glitch
is it becoming conscious
and if so, ain't that a bitch
i'll paid too much for this piece
i'll be damned if it tries any funny business
it'll be the one that pays the price
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
Yes we can handle it
we could dismantle it
we should not fear the void
and just be para-paranoid
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
There's a law in what we do
We got a quest for something new
Everything you witness seems to
Let you down
If someone gets you from behind
I got an open mind
And you've been thirsty for the friend you found
Close your eyes and make a wish

Evolution
All the do's and don't's will help you find your way
Resolution
And you got to stand tall open minded every day
Mysteries exist for us to find dem
Nothing never happens until it reach the time then
Metaphors and miracles dem just a blind dem
And if you live in fear and doubt
You will always stay behind then
The master got his eyes on what you doing
So humble yourself of your blessings will be ruin
Nuh see no rain a fall heavens gate a call
And without no love the boss him nuh go listen
Houses build by wisdom
Small large or medium
But it's overstanding that we turn it ina kingdom
So many paths to know one way we a go
There is no sacrifice when what you seek is freedom
Nothin new about the things we are doing
And there is nothing new about the words we are saying
Confusion in our feeling in search of the meaning
Longing for the spiritual healing
Prophet priests and kings
Same song dem a sing
Seek your soul mankinin and no bother with the bling
Cause certain frequencies connect humanity
And speak of the vanity love and shear infinity
Got to learn the rules so I can break dem properly
If I nab a loose I man nuh loose none me clarity
Bun dem authority senseless ideology
We must evolve genetically and spiritually, this is our
quest. Nature forces us to seek and to create to solve
all our problems.
But every problem solved spawns a thousands new ones and
that is what we choose to call the downward spiral of
life.
This has always been an inevitable truth and there is no
way to change this as it is the very essence of our
existence. Seeking Wanting Building and Ruining. Mankind!
I am not impressed with this world nor am I impressed
with our civilisation even though I probably should be
because this is where we peak
and this is the best we will ever be and soon it is time
to move on. Soon we will go into the final step of our
evolution and face our biggest fear.
The next step on the evolutionary chain is self-
destruction the climax of all civilisations before us
and now our own but this time our civilisation is global
and that must mean the end of the world.
This will be a beautiful and loving day for mankind.
Mother earth cracked open like a cheap whore. Open wide
and take a cruisemissile between your thighs.
Swallow. You will be fucked by the humans to whom you
gave life. Now how does it feel.
The end of the world. The rape of the world. The death of
the world. It will be a glorious day and god will be up
there in the sky smiling for all his work is done.
Experience like Jimmy
With no head band
And no acid in me
I feel like Kurt Cobain, without Courtney Love
And all those dark days
Part Plant, part Page
Part confused, but I’m still not dazed
Part Sly Stone but I’m still not crazed
‘ Cuz I’m like Stevie Ray, but I’m afraid to fly
Bon Scott, but I’m afraid to die
Sinatra, they all say I got blue eyes
Big Bopper, just not the size
Morrison, just not as high
I’m a lost descendent of John Lennon’s bloodlines
But all my fans are gun shy
Chorus:
I always thought that when I grew up
I’d be just like you
Just like rock ‘n roll
Just like evolution
I always thought that when I grew up
I’d be just like you
Just like rock ‘n roll
Just like evolution
No one hit wonder
“ What’s his name”
I’m more like Stevie
‘ Cuz love is blind, and the King was greedy
It was such a shame
Eddy Vedder, but I love the fame
Like Clapton, but he loved cocaine
Buddy Holly, but I hopped the train
Like Ozzy but the Sabbath came
Evolution is a mystery,
Full of change that no one sees,
Clock makes a fool of history.
Yesterday's too long ago,
Don't agree with what I know,
Tomorrow becomes a new place to be.
I see the light in the sand.
Time to find out, who I am!
Lookin' back to see where I stand.
Evolution!, Evolution!
See my reflection change,
Nothin' ever stays the same,
But you know the name's The Game.
We all know what it means,
Nothin's ever what it seems,
Unforgiven...unforseen.
Evolution!, Evolution

(Wade/Wade)
[sample from The Matrix]
"Which is of course what is all about...
Evolution...evolution, like the dinosaur...
Look out that window; you had your time
The future is our world"
"Evolution" "Is the day you're my target" [cut up and repeated x3]
[Evidence]
I be the first to tell you when it comes to drum
Turnin up your snare too loud wears out your welcome
I'm not trippin on cats who wanna jack my hats
I do the same, do solo on your shit, is open game
I never understood those who sold out for Benz
Some say I do too much, burn candles at both ends
But still I play the back, cuz when I don't do that, attacks
The fatter the cuts, the fatter the track
And fat tracks important as clear mics
Some are sureshots but most are prototypes
Post your snipes all over Babylon
You're too spaced out, sound requires air to travel on
Pack the bags, another mission to complete
But first I set my ground work here on the street
Do you like the way I vocalize?
Then bring it to a compromise
My DJ won't settle till noon, it's evolution
[Chorus]
"Evolution" "Is the day you're my target"
[Iriscience] "Evolution is a cycle to turn, vital to learn"
"Evolution" "Is the day you're my target"
[Chuck D] "To evolve, please evolve with self respect"
"Evolution" "Is the day you're my target"
"Evolution is a cycle to turn, vital to learn"
"Evolution" "Is the day you're my target"
"To evolve, please evolve with self respect"
"Look to fuck some stuff up, and rip another rough cut"
[Canibus] "Evidence"
"And Revolution"
[Noreaga] "Wha-what what"
[Evidence]
I tell em all',Too many words in a verse don't sound fresh'
Instead...
[Jay-Z] "I slow flows ya'll to death"
And if you chillin where you are,
then don't complain on how you got there
[Milk D] "I get the paper so I don't care"
Too many play it close but ain't really on the team
US'd at twenty-six, Vietnam'd at nineteen
"Nineteen" [cut and scratched]
With my DJ like that, yo killin the one's and two's
Got no choice but to
[Iriscience] "Grab the microphone and get loose"
Ah, crews say my name, respect the street fame
Plus my tracks aim to
"Blow ya outta the frame" [OC]
And if you feel we done ya done wrong
You can seek restitution, then
"Spend three sixty degrees"
For evolution
[Chorus]
The stars, light up my life (x2)
So bright, everlasting
The sun
Light up my life
Oh.. oh yeah... (x4)
What I mean
The sun
In dawn
Your love
All your life
So bright
Everlasting
Oh.. oh yeah... (x4)
Evolution!
The sun
Revelation part one
1, We're a superior life form
2, We think we're an intelligent race
3, We know that we've got all the right solutions
4, We've traveled to the moon
And explored new ground in space
5, We've Improved and developed our senses
6, We've built up this land out of water and sand
And it looks so grand
7, We've created new logical groundbreaking
Thoughts and theories
8, We've got justice for all with blood on our hands
This is our evolution
And this is how we progress
Is this the final solution
Is this the way to success
Revelation part eight
8, We can cure our diseases
7, We believe we're the state of the art
6, We know that our specie's so special
5, We think that we're incredibly smart
What good is smartness without any heart?
4, We know how to run our machinery
3, We know how to get the job done
But we're not concerned with the outcome
2, We're naive to believe that we've come to the right
Conclusion, revolution
1, will we ever find the right solution?
This is our evolution
And this is how we progress
Is this the final solution
Is this the way to success

Glen Canyon, Arizona, the present day. Wayne, practising at night in the desert for his upcoming fireman's exam, witnesses the impact of a meteorite. The next day, biology teacher Dr. Ira Kane and geology teacher Harry Block from Glen Canyon Community College manage to get to the meteorite, which is stuck in the ground at the bottom of a cave. By taking a sample, they discover a slimy blue fluid coming out of the meteorite. A little later, Ira Kane finds out that myriads of single-celled life-forms dwell in the fluid, evolve at an incredible rate, even while he's watching. What first seems like a sure ticket to Sweden for the Nobel Prize soon develops into a nightmare: By evolving and adapting at that unbelievably fast rate, the Aliens start spreading out, and the Military comes in. Now it all comes down to what Darwin so rightfully stated: Survival of the fittest. And no good idea in sight...

You can't understand cinema if you haven't watched this one. Go and get the DVD. "2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be.

Evolution IS a Blind Watchmaker
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 9:48
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
READ THIS
In this video I deconstruct the broken watch straw man argument used by creationist / ID supporters to attack evolution. I had to pack a ton of information into this video so you WILL need to pause it periodically.
The basic premise of the argument is that a bunch of parts will never randomly assemble into the correct arrangement to form a properly functioning complex. Once again, creationists / ID supporters miss the basic concept of evolution entirely. No biologists believes, nor is there any evidence that complex systems form spontaneously in one fell swoop. That would be creation. Systems evolve through many intermediates, one step at a time, slowly building up the complexity.
Here I deconstruct their straw man argument. Basically, I simulate clocks as living organisms. Selective pressure is focused on their ability to accurately tell time. NO goal is imposed on the design (you can tell this because every simulation ends with a differently constructed clock). And it works. Clocks evolve through a series of transitional forms: Pendulum, Proto-clock, 1-handed Clock, 2-handed Clock, 3-handed Clock, and 4-handed Clock. Gradually the complexity is built up.
These labels I have assigned to the transitional forms have nothing to do with the simulation itself. They are names I assigned so that we could analyze what the population was doing. The clocks are just clocks, living in their world, trying to tell time as accurately as possible.
One thing I wanted to address but didn't have time in the video is how rapid the transitional period can be. In some simulations the population goes from pendulums to 3-handed Clocks in a hundred or so generations. And the transitions between the transitional forms are even more rapid, happening in about ten generations. Chances are none or a very limited representation of that transition will be preserved in the fossil record.
One thing I should add. The program does not draw the clocks. It maintains, mates, and simulates them, but the drawing must be done manually from the genome matrix.
The program is written in MatLab.
The hand rotations that begin with 86 are 86,000 not 86.000. When YouTube compressed the video it becam hard to tell a comma from a period.

The Evolution of the Flagellum
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 4:59
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
BEHE CONCEDES IC SYSTEMS CAN EVOLVE
Here I present a theory first published in 2003 by Nicholas Matzke. For more details one can view his work at
http://www.talkdesign.org/faqs/flagellum.html
This theory is derived from a wealth of data regarding protein homologies. It shows that a fully functional flagellum could evolve through multiple functional intermediates. Each step involves the modification of only a single protein. For more discussion on the actual proteins involved and their homologues see the link above.
When ID proponents ask what good is half a flagellum, well, ¾ a flagellum is good for dispersion, ½ a flagellum is good for attachment to substrates, ¼ a flagellum is good for regulated protein secretion.
This model based on a wealth of evidence shows that the flagellum could evolve. Since 2003 many experiments have confirmed what initially were only predictions or weak assumptions. Still, many fine details remain to be worked out regarding function, not origin. For example, how does the ATP synthase derived components impart the motion of active transport, or how does the Tol-Pal derived components actually spine the flagellum.
Behe in the Dover trial concedes that Irreducibly Complex systems can evolve.
Lawyer -- "You say, Even if a system is irreducibly complex
and thus could not have been produced directly, however,
one cannot definitively rule out the possibility of an
indirect, circuitous route, right?
Behe -- "Yes."
Lawyer -- "And by indirect, you mean evolution from a
pre-cursor with a different function than the system
being studied?"
Behe -- "Yes, different function, perhaps different number
of parts, and so on."
To be fair, however, Behe claims that at a certain point of complexity an indirect route is impossible. But he gives no evidence to support this caveat.

How Evolution Works the GAME. A must see!!!

http://www.kevinpluck.net/evolution-versus-intelligence/
The world is full of misinformation.
Interesting how most of the Young Earth Creationists and people pushing Intelligent Design, clearly don't have an education in the biological sciences. Evolution is the product of Natural Selection AND Mutation. Either alone does nothing.
Evolution is the logical outcome of the world around us. Organisms that store their genetic information in DNA are guaranteed to have mutations. Mutations produce NEW variation. Reproducing organisms are guaranteed to compete for resources. Competition between variable organisms leads to natural selection, i.e. those organisms that possess variation that gives then an advantage will out compete those who don't. Organisms with deleterious variation will lose to all other organisms. In this way the ENVIRONMENT SELECTS the best organisms. This has the effect of passing beneficial mutations on to the next generation and removing deleterious ones. Over time natural selection will lead to a net shift in the genome of the population, i.e. evolution.
Yes, this really is evolution. Changes in allele frequency, changes in gene expression, and changes in transcription factor binding efficiency, they are all evolution.
Logic predicts evolution, and observation confirms it. Evolution has been observed in the lab and in nature. Speciation (macroevolution) has been observed in the lab and in nature. Large changes in appearance have been observed in the lab and in nature. Beneficial mutations have been observed in the lab and in nature.
CORRECTION: Some have noted that Evolution need not include Natural Selection, as genetic drift does result in evolution. I agree that genetic drift is evolution, and should stress that Natural Selection is just one mechanism for evolution.
Natural Selection + Random Mutation = Evolution
Genetic Drift + Random Mutation = Evolution
Both are true.
To see an example of how genetic drift can lead to a speciation event, i.e. macroevolution, check out an old video of mine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnu-O5x_pRU
To deny evolution is to deny direct observation. It is as silly as denying that the sky is blue.

Why Intelligent Design is WRONG, Part I

READ THIS
This video is NOT meant to be an accurate representation of evolution, as evolution does not have a predetermined goal (though there is the goal to reproduce). This video is meant to test one simple point, that
RANDOM MUTATION +
NON-RANDOM SELECTION =
VERY IMPROBABLE RESULT.
For further discussion on the use of a "goal" see below. For simulations that represent evolution more accurately see my later videos.
In this video I show why the central tenet of Intelligent Design or ID is wrong. They argue they can tell when an object is "designed", meaning it could not have arisen by chance, but their logic is fatally flawed. Here I will actually simulate evolution showing how impossibly improbable outcomes can appear quite easily, without anything being designed.
For those who fail to find solace in the fact that I have used a "goal" image in this video I will 1) offer a quaint explanation for how this DOES NOT impose design and 2) direct you to Part II of this video.
See, imagine there is an ecosystem where two species live in a symbiotic relationship. Species A offers food to species B for protection. The way species A recognizes species B is because B looks like SouthPark characters.
Now species C happens to also live in this environment but looks nothing like SouthPark characters. They resemble random noise. They go about collecting their food on their own. Evolution by natural selection and common sense tells us that any member of species C that has an advantage in collecting food will be better off (more energy and time for reproduction). Thus that advantage will be passed on.
Therefore, random mutations in species C's population that make members very slightly resemble SouthPark characters will be passed on because those organisms might be able to trick a member of species A every now and then more so than those that are just random noise. As mutations build up in the population of species C, they begin to resemble SouthPark characters more and more, thus tricking species A more and more getting free food and increasing their fitness.
Mimicry like this happens all the time in nature. The evolution of species C is not designed or directed. It just happens that those that resemble species B more (thus looking like a SouthPark character) will have a higher fitness. It is a product of their environment. They will pass on those mutations and the population will evolve.

Make sure you watch "Why Intelligent Design is WRONG" before watching this video. Here I simulate evolution without the use of a goal image as in Part I.
This time fitness is determined based on a two part mathematical function. It is analogous to an animal's behavior evolving to balance its need to find food and find mates (really can't do both at the same time, well, not effectively) or a seal's flipper evolving to be both good on land and in the sea. Here the function pulls the organisms in two directions.
The combination of random mutations with survival of the fittest drives the population to an extremely improbable solution, but one with very good fitness. And this is what I am trying to show, that random mutations and recombination combined with survival of the fittest will weed out the best organisms (those that seem perfectly designed for their environment) leading to extremely complex and highly improbable outcomes in only a few generations.
This video does not attempt to prove ID wrong or Evolution correct. It merely attempts to point out that the central claim of ID is wrong.

Evolution of the Bombardier Beetle
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 4:47
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Here I present a HYPOTHESIS for the gradual evolution of the bombardier beetle's defense mechanism. This hypothesis was formulated by Mark Isaak and can be found at
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/bombardier.html
The cornerstone of Intelligent Design (ID) is that some structures are Irreducibly Complex (IC) and therefore disprove evolution. They claim that since no means for their evolution exists the default hypothesis must be that they were designed. So far, every structure, system, or complex that was claimed by ID advocates to be IC has proved otherwise with evidence surfacing of their gradual evolution. If a structure is IC then it should be impossible to form a logically and scientifically sound hypothesis for its gradual evolution. Here I do just that, therefore allowing us to reject the ID hypothesis of IC on their own grounds. Talk about beating them at their own game.
In no way does a hypothesis constitute proof. It is a starting point for further scientific investigation and will most likely go through many revisions throughout its life.

Evidence for Evolution, Part I
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 2:33
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
I've gotten tired of explaining why Intelligent Design and Creationism are wrong, why they are not supported by the data, how their supporters misrepresent facts or lie, and why they are not science. So now I've decided to show evidence for evolution. In this simple experiment I analyze codon usage in the alpha and beta chains of hemoglobin. The theory of evolution makes a simple prediction: codons not subject to bias should be preserved in closely related species even though there is no selective pressure to do so. ID and creationism make no predictions about this data. God, the designer, could have kept the codons the same or could have switched them. ID and creationism are indifferent since we cannot know the reasoning of god, and that is why they are not testable.
The argument presented here is not circular. I define human, chimp, and rhesus monkey as closely related based on a wealth of other data (they were believed to be close relatives before we even understood what DNA was).
Finally, what I don't show in the video is that the codon usage for glutamic acid in these proteins in chicken (a very distant relative of primates) is not preserved. 3 of the 9 conserved glutamic acid residues use different codons compared with primates. This has a probability of roughly 25%. Telling us that given enough time random mutations will cause non-functional regions of DNA to diverge.
In the end, this data supports evolution because the theory made a prediction and the data confirms that prediction. Plain and simple.
DNA sequences from completed genomes are available online for everyone to play with. So go ahead. Look at it for yourself.

WHAT IF INSERTION IS NOT RANDOM
If you run the numbers with the assumption that ERVs can only insert in 1% of the genome, i.e. highly nonrandom, you still get enormously low probabilities with only 16 ERVs. So even if insertion is highly nonrandom, getting the thousands of matched ERVs between all primates is unbelievably unlikely just like I show in the video (don't believe me, do the math).
Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) are the relics of ancient viral infections preserved in our DNA. The odd thing is many ERVs are located in exactly the same position on our genome and the chimpanzee genome. There are two explanations for the perfectly matched ERV locations. Either it is an unbelievable coincidence that viruses just by chance inserted in exactly the same location in our genomes, or humans and chimps share a common ancestor. It was our common ancestor that was infected, and we both inherited the ERVs. ERVs providence the closest thing to a mathematical proof for evolution. And remember, ERVs are just one of the millions of FACTS that support the theory of evolution. Think about it.

Proof that Intelligent Design is Creationism
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 2:19

MICHAEL BEHE SUPPORTS THIS POSITION
For those who have not seen my other videos, let's get one thing straight, I do not believe in or support ID or creationism, as neither are supported by any data or make any testable predictions. But I am tired of people claiming ID and creationism are separate. That you can teach ID in schools without violating the separation of church and state. Well, sorry, they are the same, and this simple proof shows how.
Michael Behe supports the position that ID at its root is creationism because the ultimate designer must be supernatural.
". . . it may be that all possible natural designers require irreducibly complex structures which themselves were designed. If so, then at some point a supernatural designer must get into the picture. I myself find this line of reasoning persuasive. In my estimation, although possible in a broadly permissive sense, it is not plausible that the original intelligent agent is a natural entity. The chemistry and physics that we do know weigh heavily against it. If natural intelligence depends on physical organization, then the organization seems likely to have to be enormously complex and stable over reasonable periods of time. While simpler systems may perform the tasks that irreducibly complex systems perform a terrestrial life, they would likely perform them more slowly and less efficiently, so that the complexity required for intelligence would not ultimately be achieved. Thus, in my judgment it is implausible that the designer is a natural entity."
When questioned at the Dover trial
Lawyer - "...you personally believe the designer is God."
Behe -- "Yes."

Why Young Earth Creationists are WRONG, Part I
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 5:05
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Here I show using simple observable evidence that the earth is not 6000 years old. To believe the lies of young earth creationists one needs to ignore independent evidence from astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, and biology. In my next video I will discuss radiometric dating, including its caveats, and show how it proves the earth is billions of years old, exactly what evolution predicts.
Creationists love to cite examples of "false" rings as evidence that tree ring dating is flawed. First, false rings can be identified by two methods: alignment of multiple samples to show the ring is false; and ring density analysis to show the ring formed mid season. Second, false rings are extremely rare in bristlecone pines. The one example creationists love to cite is a publication where a scientist grew bristlecone seedlings in a climate controlled room and FORCED them to produce up to 4 false rings a year. They know, as anyone who reads this article does, that these were false rings produced under artificial conditions, yet they LIE and claim it proves bristlecones in the wild are riddled with false rings. Finally, frost rings formed during years of intense volcanic eruptions line up with the recorded years of those eruptions, indicating there are no false rings in the consensus.
Some species are more susceptible to false rings. Others are not sensitive enough to climate change to produce the variable rings required for crossdating. Creationists cite these species as examples of why tree ring science is flawed. Scientists know this. It was scientists who discovered these flaws. You know, the people who actually do the research. These species are NOT used to make long series chronologies.

Why Young Earth Creationists are WRONG, Part II

In the first part I showed how tree rings prove the earth is not 6,000 years old, but instead must be at least 11,300. Meaning the Young Earth Creationists are off by a factor of 2. Here I describe one radiometric dating technique, the Potassium-Argon Method. Data from this technique also proves the earth is not 6,000 years old (remember, in science you can always prove something wrong), but now points to the age at around 4,500,000,000 years. Meaning the Young Earth Creationists are off by almost a factor of a million. As Richard Dawkins put it (and I confirmed the calculation), this is like claiming the distance from New York to Los Angeles is 28 feet!
Each of the dating techniques has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, if rock is heated long after it originally cooled (transformed into metamorphic rock) it can lose some of its Argon. This is actually used by some geologists to date meteorite impact craters. Since the age given by the rock at the bottom of the crater will not be the age of the rock, but the age of the impact which reset the clock to zero. Another weakness is that certain Potassium minerals are water soluble and therefore can be leached out of the rock. Rocks containing these minerals are not used. The last two, Xenoliths and parentless Argon, are discussed in the video.
Suffice it to say, there is a ton of independent data from multiple techniques that all confirm each other. They all point to an earth that is a million times older than the young earth creationists believe. But why would they listen to data, evidence, and facts. I remind you of a quote from part 1.
. "...when the interpretation of scientific data contradicts the true history of the world as revealed in the Bible, then it's the interpretation of the data that is at fault."
A message to creationists:
If you believe the world was created by god, then why do you close your eyes to it? Put down the words of men, and yes the bible was written by men (god does not distribute through Amazon.com). And though these men claim to be divinely inspired we know humans have a history of not being trustworthy (even creationists). Look at the world around you, and study it, learn from it. If god created the rocks and they say they are 4.5 billion years old, and man wrote a book that says they are 6,000 years old, who should you believe. I think that's an easy one. God has routinely altered his position as humans have matured to accept it. "Eye for an eye" in the time of Moses while "turn the other cheek" in the time of Jesus. Maybe god simplified creation in Genesis because he knew people could not accept the truth, it was too far out there. But now science has advanced to reveal the truth, and humans have matured to accept that truth. Have you? So I say again, put down the words of men, and open you eyes to the world around you.

Why Creationists are WRONG about MacroEvolution
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 9:14
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Here I show how creationists are wrong when it comes to MacroEvolution (MaE). MaE is defined as evolution at or above the species level. This means MaE includes speciation. Despite what creationists say there are examples of new species occurring in nature, and scientists have produced new species in the lab. Many creationists claim that MaE means there must be a huge change in appearance. This is false. Many sister species, existing in the same genus and the cases we have of new species occurring in nature, share many characteristics. A new species of mosquito will still resemble a mosquito, and a new species of worm will still resemble a worm. Only after many speciation events will large changes begin to accumulate. This may take tens to hundreds of millions of years.
Many ID/creationists do accept MicroEvolution (MiE), but claim MiE is different from MaE. Here I show how a MiE step can lead to a MaE event through the evolution of the sperm egg receptor ligand complex. A species is best defined as a group of organism that can successfully produce fertile offspring. Once the sperm of one population can no longer fertilize the eggs of another population and vice versa, we have two species.
Finally, many creationists claim that there is not enough variation within a species to allow for the large changes in phenotype (appearance). Anyone who claims this has obviously never seen the myriad of dog breeds, all of which were derived from the same species, wolf.
My point here is, MacroEvolution includes speciation, and speciation has been observed in nature and in the lab. Also, MicroEvolutionary steps can result in speciation. Scientists do not doubt MacroEvolution, but they do debate how and under what circumstances it occurs.

This video rests on one assumption, that mutations are a constant fact of life. Is this valid? Yes. Three common causes of mutations are radicals, ionizing radiation, and polymerase errors. Radicals are a constant given the chemistry of the earth. Ionizing radiations has existed long before life. And no polymerase is perfect. Therefore, mutations have occurred in the past and continue to occur today.

The Evolution of Irreducible Complexity
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 6:05
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
If we are to have a proper debate we all need to use the same definition of Irreducible Complexity. Michael Behe defines it as:
"By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning"
The problem is ID / creationist supporters take this to mean that an IC system could not have evolved. Their mistake is that IC is a statement about a systems present state, not its past history.
Many systems are by definition IC. But for every IC system studied data exists supporting a biologically plausible scenario for their evolution.
So in short, are their IC systems. Yes. Does being IC mean it could not have evolved. NO.

The Creationist Concept of Kind

Creationists love to use the term kind. But what does it mean, and should we care. In this video I point out the huge flaw in using the term kind in a scientific discussion about evolution. Kind is a subjective term. The user is free to define any criteria for grouping objects. I go through a series of examples. Just like the term humankind, we can also add vehiclekind, peoplekind, artkind, sweetkind, and so on. One of the hallmarks of science is having a set of specifically and rigorously defined terms (a.k.a jargon) so that there is no misunderstanding when we communicate. The term kind is the complete opposite of this.

The Creation Museum Teaches Super Evolution

I invite everyone to view the full collection of photos taken at the creation "museum".
http://www.flickr.com/photos/n1c0star/sets/72157600335006271/
These images were not taken by me. It was a mistake by me to refer to the couple as atheists in the video. By their own admission they simple are two people who do not believe in creationism.
I always put museum in quotes as this building makes a mockery of the fine history of science and art institutions. The slides I have selected show clear evidence that creationists believe in and promote the idea of Super Evolution. Here I present very simple evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that such rapid change is completely impossible and goes against every single piece of data collected over the past century and a half.
This "museum" goes beyond teaching super evolution. The real goal is to convince the visitor that science in general does not work. And of course this makes sense. How else can one reconcile the ideas offered by creationists with the millions of facts collected by scientists. In short, creationists want people to accept what they say, and not think for themselves. Because even the most marginal effort of free thought will unmask their ideas as completely ludicrous.
This "museum" makes it clear that creationists want our society to fall back into the dark ages. Ask yourself this: Where have all of our medical breakthroughs come from? Where have our communications and transportation technologies come from? The scientific method, logic, and human reason are the backbone of modern civilization. Creationists want us to abandon them for blind acceptance. Yet they are more than willing to use these technologies to advance their ignorance. And yes that does make them hypocrites.
The slide at 4:33 should read "most animals are diploid" as the vast majority are but a few specie are in fact haploid.

Predator evolution is simulated by scaling the populations mean survival probability back to the attrition rate. Example. If the Attrition rate is 0.9 and every member of the population has a number of beneficial mutations then the mean probability of death may be 0.8. If the predators were allowed to evolve (as they would in nature) that would scale the mean death probability back to 0.9. This is known as the Red Queen Hypothesis. The organisms have to keep evolving just to stand still. Without predator evolution enough beneficial mutations can pile up to lower the death probability to 0 (or nearly so). This would stop selection as every member would live to mate.
Error: I stated that without selection, evolution stops. This is not entirely true. Genetic drift operates in the absence of selection. It is one mechanism by which neutral mutations can become fixed in a populations.

What Every Creationist Must DENY
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 9:19
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Evolution is a scientific THEORY. Theories are supported by MILLIONS of independently verifiable FACTS. To deny evolution is to deny all of those facts and the hundreds of scientific techniques used to observe them. Worse yet, to deny evolution is to deny reason and logic, the core of the scientific method. Creationists are willing to deny all of this for evolution, yet have no problem exploiting the fruits of science for their own benefit, i.e. cars, computers, modern medicine.
Just like falling is a fact and gravity is a theory that describes why you fall, organisms evolving and speciating are facts and the theory of evolution explains why. If you are willing to deny evolution, why not gravity, germs, atoms, electricity, etc. They are all theories too.
Funny thing is, evolution, both micro and macro, have been directly observed. So to deny evolution is to deny a direct observation. It's the equivalent of denying the sky is blue yet refusing to look up.
I should add, scientists do not BELIEVE in evolution. We ACCEPT it because of the enormous pile of data supporting it. Just like we accept that gravity follows an inverse square law, matter is composed of atoms, germs cause disease, and moving electrons constitute electricity. Scientific theories are not a faith. You can test them yourself and falsify them. Do you have faith your computer runs on electrons or do you accept it? Think about it.

Why are there only 2 genders? Here I use a simple genetic algorithm to simulate 4 species. The species and environments are exactly the same except for the number of genders each species has. Species with multiple genders evolve at the same rate as a species with 2 genders. Therefore, there is no further advantage. Plus, each additional gender increases the costs of sexual reproduction. 2 genders appears to be the optimal solution. Go Evolution!

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
The lecture presents an overview of evolutionary biology and its two major components, microevolution and macroevolution. The idea of evolution goes back before Darwin, although Darwin thought of natural selection. Evolution is driven by natural selection, the correlation between organism traits and reproductive success, as well as random drift. The history of life goes back approximately 3.7 billion years to a common ancestor, and is marked with key events that affect all life.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Genetic transmission is the mechanism that drives evolution. DNA encodes all the information necessary to make an organism. Every organism's DNA is made of the same basic parts, arranged in different orders. DNA is divided into chromosomes, or groups of genes, which code for proteins. Asexually reproducing organisms reproduce using mitosis, while sexually reproducing organisms reproduce using meiosis. Both these mechanisms involve duplication of DNA, which then gets passed to offspring. RNA is a key component in the duplication of DNA.

- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 45:53
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Adaptive Evolution is driven by natural selection. Natural selection is not "survival of the fittest," but rather "reproduction of the fittest." Evolution can occur at many different speeds based on the strength of the selection driving it. These types of selection can result in directional, stabilizing, and disruptive outcomes. They can be driven by frequency-dependent selection and sexual selection, in addition to more standard types of selection.

- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 44:03
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Neutral evolution occurs when genes do not experience natural selection because they have no effect on reproductive success. Neutrality arises when mutations in an organism's genotype cause no change in its phenotype, or when changes in the genotype bring about changes in the phenotype that do not affect reproductive success. Because neutral genes do not change in any particular direction over time and simply "drift," thanks in part to the randomness of meiosis, they can be used as a sort of molecular clock to determine common ancestors or places in the phylogenetic tree of life.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Genetics controls evolution. There are four major genetic systems, which are combinations of sexual/asexual and haploid/diploid. In all genetic systems, adaptive genetic change tends to start out slow, accelerate in the middle, and occur slowly at the end. Asexual haploids can change the fastest, while sexual diploids usually change the slowest. Gene frequencies in large populations only change if the population undergoes selection.

Mutations are the origin of genetic diversity. Mutations introduce new traits, while selection eliminates most of the reproductively unsuccessful traits. Sexual recombination of alleles can also account for much of the genetic diversity in sexual species. In some instances, population size can affect diversity and rates of evolution and fixation, but in other cases population size does not matter.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Development is responsible for the complexity of multicellular organisms. It helps to map the genotype into the phenotype expressed by the organism. Development is responsible for ancient patterns among related organisms, and many structures important to development shared by many life forms have changed little over hundreds of millions of years. Development is expressed combinatorially, allowing a relatively small amount of genetic information to be expressed in many different ways.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
There are several explanations for the evolution of sex and its continued prevalence. One is facilitating the spread of helpful mutations while hastening the removal of harmful ones. Another is expediting resistance against pathogens. Sex does have several costs compared to asex, such as only giving half your genome to offspring, having to find mates, and the risk of predation and STDs. Overall, the benefits outweigh the costs and sex has a firm hold on the majority of the recent branches of the tree of life.

- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Genomic conflict arises when the interests of various genomic elements, such as chromosomes and cytoplasmic organelles, are not aligned. These conflicts arise in two situations: either when one unit is contained within another, as a mitochondrion is contained within a cell, or when inheritance is asymmetrical. Genomic conflict can thus occur within a cell, within an organism, or between two organisms, such as a mother and developing fetus. There have been several steps taken to avoid these conflicts in sexual species, including the fairness of meiosis and the uniparental inheritance of cytoplasmic genomes.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Life history covers three main classes of traits in organisms: age and size at maturity, number and size of offspring, and lifespan and reproductive investment. Organisms must make tradeoffs among these traits that typically cause them to come to evolutionary equilibrium at intermediate values. Life history traits are evolutionary solutions to the ecological problems of the risk of mortality and the acquisition of food, and they are expressed in reaction norms that determine the particular traits that an organism will exhibit when its genes encounter a specific environment during development.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Sex allocation is an organism's decision on how much of its reproductive investment should be distributed to male and female functions and/or offspring. Under most conditions, the optimal ratio is 50:50, but that can change under certain circumstances. Sex allocation determines what sexes sequential hermaphrodites should be at each part of their life as well as how simultaneous hermaphrodites should behave. Some species have more control over the sexes of their offspring than others, and adjust the sex ratios of their offspring depending on the environment and conditions.

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Sexual selection is a component of natural selection in which mating success is traded for survival. Natural selection is not necessarily survival of the fittest, but reproduction of the fittest. Sexual dimorphism is a product of sexual selection. In intersexual selection, a sex chooses a mate. In intrasexual selection, individuals of one sex compete among themselves for access to mates. Often honest, costly signals are used to help the sex that chooses make decisions.

Speciation is the process through which species diverge from each other and/or from a common ancestor. There are several definitions of species, most of which focus on reproductive isolation and/or phylogenetic similarities. This can cause some controversy. Speciation can result from geographical separation or ecological specialization.

Evolution IS a Blind Watchmaker
READ THIS
In this video I deconstruct the broken watch straw man argument used by creationist / ID supporters to attack evolution. I had to pack a ton of information into this video so you WILL need to pause it periodically.
The basic premise of the argument is that a bunch of parts will never randomly assemble into the correct arrangement to form a properly functioning complex. Once again, creationists / ID supporters miss the basic concept of evolution entirely. No biologists believes, nor is there any evidence that complex systems form spontaneously in one fell swoop. That would be creation. Systems evolve through many intermediates, one step at a time, slowly building up the complexity.
Here I deconstruct their straw man argument. Basically, I simulate clocks as living organisms. Selective pressure is focused on their ability to accurately tell time. NO goal is imposed on the design (you can tell this because every simulation ends with a differently constructed clock). And it works. Clocks evolve through a series of transitional forms: Pendulum, Proto-clock, 1-handed Clock, 2-handed Clock, 3-handed Clock, and 4-handed Clock. Gradually the complexity is built up.
These labels I have assigned to the transitional forms have nothing to do with the simulation itself. They are names I assigned so that we could analyze what the population was doing. The clocks are just clocks, living in their world, trying to tell time as accurately as possible.
One thing I wanted to address but didn't have time in the video is how rapid the transitional period can be. In some simulations the population goes from pendulums to 3-handed Clocks in a hundred or so generations. And the transitions between the transitional forms are even more rapid, happening in about ten generations. Chances are none or a very limited representation of that transition will be preserved in the fossil record.
One thing I should add. The program does not draw the clocks. It maintains, mates, and simulates them, but the drawing must be done manually from the genome matrix.
The program is written in MatLab.
The hand rotations that begin with 86 are 86,000 not 86.000. When YouTube compressed the video it becam hard to tell a comma from a period.

The Evolution of the Flagellum
BEHE CONCEDES IC SYSTEMS CAN EVOLVE
Here I present a theory first published in 2003 by Nicholas Matzke. For more details one can view his work at
http://www.talkdesign.org/faqs/flagellum.html
This theory is derived from a wealth of data regarding protein homologies. It shows that a fully functional flagellum could evolve through multiple functional intermediates. Each step involves the modification of only a single protein. For more discussion on the actual proteins involved and their homologues see the link above.
When ID proponents ask what good is half a flagellum, well, ¾ a flagellum is good for dispersion, ½ a flagellum is good for attachment to substrates, ¼ a flagellum is good for regulated protein secretion.
This model based on a wealth of evidence shows that the flagellum could evolve. Since 2003 many experiments have confirmed what initially were only predictions or weak assumptions. Still, many fine details remain to be worked out regarding function, not origin. For example, how does the ATP synthase derived components impart the motion of active transport, or how does the Tol-Pal derived components actually spine the flagellum.
Behe in the Dover trial concedes that Irreducibly Complex systems can evolve.
Lawyer -- "You say, Even if a system is irreducibly complex
and thus could not have been produced directly, however,
one cannot definitively rule out the possibility of an
indirect, circuitous route, right?
Behe -- "Yes."
Lawyer -- "And by indirect, you mean evolution from a
pre-cursor with a different function than the system
being studied?"
Behe -- "Yes, different function, perhaps different number
of parts, and so on."
To be fair, however, Behe claims that at a certain point of complexity an indirect route is impossible. But he gives no evidence to support this caveat.

How Evolution Works the GAME. A must see!!!
KevinPluck has turned this simulation into an interactive game. You are the predator and the squares evolve to avoid you eating them.
http://www.kevinpluck.net/evolution-versus-intelligence/
The world is full of misinformation.
Interesting how most of the Young Earth Creationists and people pushing Intelligent Design, clearly don't have an education in the biological sciences. Evolution is the product of Natural Selection AND Mutation. Either alone does nothing.
Evolution is the logical outcome of the world around us. Organisms that store their genetic information in DNA are guaranteed to have mutations. Mutations produce NEW variation. Reproducing organisms are guaranteed to compete for resources. Competition between variable organisms leads to natural selection, i.e. those organisms that possess variation that gives then an advantage will out compete those who don't. Organisms with deleterious variation will lose to all other organisms. In this way the ENVIRONMENT SELECTS the best organisms. This has the effect of passing beneficial mutations on to the next generation and removing deleterious ones. Over time natural selection will lead to a net shift in the genome of the population, i.e. evolution.
Yes, this really is evolution. Changes in allele frequency, changes in gene expression, and changes in transcription factor binding efficiency, they are all evolution.
Logic predicts evolution, and observation confirms it. Evolution has been observed in the lab and in nature. Speciation (macroevolution) has been observed in the lab and in nature. Large changes in appearance have been observed in the lab and in nature. Beneficial mutations have been observed in the lab and in nature.
CORRECTION: Some have noted that Evolution need not include Natural Selection, as genetic drift does result in evolution. I agree that genetic drift is evolution, and should stress that Natural Selection is just one mechanism for evolution.
Natural Selection + Random Mutation = Evolution
Genetic Drift + Random Mutation = Evolution
Both are true.
To see an example of how genetic drift can lead to a speciation event, i.e. macroevolution, check out an old video of mine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnu-O5x_pRU
To deny evolution is to deny direct observation. It is as silly as denying that the sky is blue.

Why Intelligent Design is WRONG, Part I
READ THIS
This video is NOT meant to be an accurate representation of evolution, as evolution does not have a predetermined goal (though there is the goal to reproduce). This video is meant to test one simple point, that
RANDOM MUTATION +
NON-RANDOM SELECTION =
VERY IMPROBABLE RESULT.
For further discussion on the use of a "goal" see below. For simulations that represent evolution more accurately see my later videos.
In this video I show why the central tenet of Intelligent Design or ID is wrong. They argue they can tell when an object is "designed", meaning it could not have arisen by chance, but their logic is fatally flawed. Here I will actually simulate evolution showing how impossibly improbable outcomes can appear quite easily, without anything being designed.
For those who fail to find solace in the fact that I have used a "goal" image in this video I will 1) offer a quaint explanation for how this DOES NOT impose design and 2) direct you to Part II of this video.
See, imagine there is an ecosystem where two species live in a symbiotic relationship. Species A offers food to species B for protection. The way species A recognizes species B is because B looks like SouthPark characters.
Now species C happens to also live in this environment but looks nothing like SouthPark characters. They resemble random noise. They go about collecting their food on their own. Evolution by natural selection and common sense tells us that any member of species C that has an advantage in collecting food will be better off (more energy and time for reproduction). Thus that advantage will be passed on.
Therefore, random mutations in species C's population that make members very slightly resemble SouthPark characters will be passed on because those organisms might be able to trick a member of species A every now and then more so than those that are just random noise. As mutations build up in the population of species C, they begin to resemble SouthPark characters more and more, thus tricking species A more and more getting free food and increasing their fitness.
Mimicry like this happens all the time in nature. The evolution of species C is not designed or directed. It just happens that those that resemble species B more (thus looking like a SouthPark character) will have a higher fitness. It is a product of their environment. They will pass on those mutations and the population will evolve.

Why Intelligent Design is WRONG, Part II
Make sure you watch "Why Intelligent Design is WRONG" before watching this video. Here I simulate evolution without the use of a goal image as in Part I.
This time fitness is determined based on a two part mathematical function. It is analogous to an animal's behavior evolving to balance its need to find food and find mates (really can't do both at the same time, well, not effectively) or a seal's flipper evolving to be both good on land and in the sea. Here the function pulls the organisms in two directions.
The combination of random mutations with survival of the fittest drives the population to an extremely improbable solution, but one with very good fitness. And this is what I am trying to show, that random mutations and recombination combined with survival of the fittest will weed out the best organisms (those that seem perfectly designed for their environment) leading to extremely complex and highly improbable outcomes in only a few generations.
This video does not attempt to prove ID wrong or Evolution correct. It merely attempts to point out that the central claim of ID is wrong.

Evolution of the Bombardier Beetle
Here I present a HYPOTHESIS for the gradual evolution of the bombardier beetle's defense mechanism. This hypothesis was formulated by Mark Isaak and can be found at
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/bombardier.html
The cornerstone of Intelligent Design (ID) is that some structures are Irreducibly Complex (IC) and therefore disprove evolution. They claim that since no means for their evolution exists the default hypothesis must be that they were designed. So far, every structure, system, or complex that was claimed by ID advocates to be IC has proved otherwise with evidence surfacing of their gradual evolution. If a structure is IC then it should be impossible to form a logically and scientifically sound hypothesis for its gradual evolution. Here I do just that, therefore allowing us to reject the ID hypothesis of IC on their own grounds. Talk about beating them at their own game.
In no way does a hypothesis constitute proof. It is a starting point for further scientific investigation and will most likely go through many revisions throughout its life.

Evidence for Evolution, Part I
I've gotten tired of explaining why Intelligent Design and Creationism are wrong, why they are not supported by the data, how their supporters misrepresent facts or lie, and why they are not science. So now I've decided to show evidence for evolution. In this simple experiment I analyze codon usage in the alpha and beta chains of hemoglobin. The theory of evolution makes a simple prediction: codons not subject to bias should be preserved in closely related species even though there is no selective pressure to do so. ID and creationism make no predictions about this data. God, the designer, could have kept the codons the same or could have switched them. ID and creationism are indifferent since we cannot know the reasoning of god, and that is why they are not testable.
The argument presented here is not circular. I define human, chimp, and rhesus monkey as closely related based on a wealth of other data (they were believed to be close relatives before we even understood what DNA was).
Finally, what I don't show in the video is that the codon usage for glutamic acid in these proteins in chicken (a very distant relative of primates) is not preserved. 3 of the 9 conserved glutamic acid residues use different codons compared with primates. This has a probability of roughly 25%. Telling us that given enough time random mutations will cause non-functional regions of DNA to diverge.
In the end, this data supports evolution because the theory made a prediction and the data confirms that prediction. Plain and simple.
DNA sequences from completed genomes are available online for everyone to play with. So go ahead. Look at it for yourself.

Evidence for Evolution, Part III
WHAT IF INSERTION IS NOT RANDOM
If you run the numbers with the assumption that ERVs can only insert in 1% of the genome, i.e. highly nonrandom, you still get enormously low probabilities with only 16 ERVs. So even if insertion is highly nonrandom, getting the thousands of matched ERVs between all primates is unbelievably unlikely just like I show in the video (don't believe me, do the math).
Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) are the relics of ancient viral infections preserved in our DNA. The odd thing is many ERVs are located in exactly the same position on our genome and the chimpanzee genome. There are two explanations for the perfectly matched ERV locations. Either it is an unbelievable coincidence that viruses just by chance inserted in exactly the same location in our genomes, or humans and chimps share a common ancestor. It was our common ancestor that was infected, and we both inherited the ERVs. ERVs providence the closest thing to a mathematical proof for evolution. And remember, ERVs are just one of the millions of FACTS that support the theory of evolution. Think about it.

Probabilities calculates using random insertion into a genome containing 3 billion bases. Yes, some ERVs have shown to not insert perfectly randomly, but none show perfect site selection. Accounting for non-random insertion would NOT reduce the probabilities much.

Proof that Intelligent Design is Creationism
MICHAEL BEHE SUPPORTS THIS POSITION
For those who have not seen my other videos, let's get one thing straight, I do not believe in or support ID or creationism, as neither are supported by any data or make any testable predictions. But I am tired of people claiming ID and creationism are separate. That you can teach ID in schools without violating the separation of church and state. Well, sorry, they are the same, and this simple proof shows how.
Michael Behe supports the position that ID at its root is creationism because the ultimate designer must be supernatural.
". . . it may be that all possible natural designers require irreducibly complex structures which themselves were designed. If so, then at some point a supernatural designer must get into the picture. I myself find this line of reasoning persuasive. In my estimation, although possible in a broadly permissive sense, it is not plausible that the original intelligent agent is a natural entity. The chemistry and physics that we do know weigh heavily against it. If natural intelligence depends on physical organization, then the organization seems likely to have to be enormously complex and stable over reasonable periods of time. While simpler systems may perform the tasks that irreducibly complex systems perform a terrestrial life, they would likely perform them more slowly and less efficiently, so that the complexity required for intelligence would not ultimately be achieved. Thus, in my judgment it is implausible that the designer is a natural entity."
When questioned at the Dover trial
Lawyer - "...you personally believe the designer is God."
Behe -- "Yes."

Why Young Earth Creationists are WRONG, Part I
Here I show using simple observable evidence that the earth is not 6000 years old. To believe the lies of young earth creationists one needs to ignore independent evidence from astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, and biology. In my next video I will discuss radiometric dating, including its caveats, and show how it proves the earth is billions of years old, exactly what evolution predicts.
Creationists love to cite examples of "false" rings as evidence that tree ring dating is flawed. First, false rings can be identified by two methods: alignment of multiple samples to show the ring is false; and ring density analysis to show the ring formed mid season. Second, false rings are extremely rare in bristlecone pines. The one example creationists love to cite is a publication where a scientist grew bristlecone seedlings in a climate controlled room and FORCED them to produce up to 4 false rings a year. They know, as anyone who reads this article does, that these were false rings produced under artificial conditions, yet they LIE and claim it proves bristlecones in the wild are riddled with false rings. Finally, frost rings formed during years of intense volcanic eruptions line up with the recorded years of those eruptions, indicating there are no false rings in the consensus.
Some species are more susceptible to false rings. Others are not sensitive enough to climate change to produce the variable rings required for crossdating. Creationists cite these species as examples of why tree ring science is flawed. Scientists know this. It was scientists who discovered these flaws. You know, the people who actually do the research. These species are NOT used to make long series chronologies.

Why Young Earth Creationists are WRONG, Part II
In the first part I showed how tree rings prove the earth is not 6,000 years old, but instead must be at least 11,300. Meaning the Young Earth Creationists are off by a factor of 2. Here I describe one radiometric dating technique, the Potassium-Argon Method. Data from this technique also proves the earth is not 6,000 years old (remember, in science you can always prove something wrong), but now points to the age at around 4,500,000,000 years. Meaning the Young Earth Creationists are off by almost a factor of a million. As Richard Dawkins put it (and I confirmed the calculation), this is like claiming the distance from New York to Los Angeles is 28 feet!
Each of the dating techniques has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, if rock is heated long after it originally cooled (transformed into metamorphic rock) it can lose some of its Argon. This is actually used by some geologists to date meteorite impact craters. Since the age given by the rock at the bottom of the crater will not be the age of the rock, but the age of the impact which reset the clock to zero. Another weakness is that certain Potassium minerals are water soluble and therefore can be leached out of the rock. Rocks containing these minerals are not used. The last two, Xenoliths and parentless Argon, are discussed in the video.
Suffice it to say, there is a ton of independent data from multiple techniques that all confirm each other. They all point to an earth that is a million times older than the young earth creationists believe. But why would they listen to data, evidence, and facts. I remind you of a quote from part 1.
. "...when the interpretation of scientific data contradicts the true history of the world as revealed in the Bible, then it's the interpretation of the data that is at fault."
A message to creationists:
If you believe the world was created by god, then why do you close your eyes to it? Put down the words of men, and yes the bible was written by men (god does not distribute through Amazon.com). And though these men claim to be divinely inspired we know humans have a history of not being trustworthy (even creationists). Look at the world around you, and study it, learn from it. If god created the rocks and they say they are 4.5 billion years old, and man wrote a book that says they are 6,000 years old, who should you believe. I think that's an easy one. God has routinely altered his position as humans have matured to accept it. "Eye for an eye" in the time of Moses while "turn the other cheek" in the time of Jesus. Maybe god simplified creation in Genesis because he knew people could not accept the truth, it was too far out there. But now science has advanced to reveal the truth, and humans have matured to accept that truth. Have you? So I say again, put down the words of men, and open you eyes to the world around you.

Why Creationists are WRONG about MacroEvolution
Here I show how creationists are wrong when it comes to MacroEvolution (MaE). MaE is defined as evolution at or above the species level. This means MaE includes speciation. Despite what creationists say there are examples of new species occurring in nature, and scientists have produced new species in the lab. Many creationists claim that MaE means there must be a huge change in appearance. This is false. Many sister species, existing in the same genus and the cases we have of new species occurring in nature, share many characteristics. A new species of mosquito will still resemble a mosquito, and a new species of worm will still resemble a worm. Only after many speciation events will large changes begin to accumulate. This may take tens to hundreds of millions of years.
Many ID/creationists do accept MicroEvolution (MiE), but claim MiE is different from MaE. Here I show how a MiE step can lead to a MaE event through the evolution of the sperm egg receptor ligand complex. A species is best defined as a group of organism that can successfully produce fertile offspring. Once the sperm of one population can no longer fertilize the eggs of another population and vice versa, we have two species.
Finally, many creationists claim that there is not enough variation within a species to allow for the large changes in phenotype (appearance). Anyone who claims this has obviously never seen the myriad of dog breeds, all of which were derived from the same species, wolf.
My point here is, MacroEvolution includes speciation, and speciation has been observed in nature and in the lab. Also, MicroEvolutionary steps can result in speciation. Scientists do not doubt MacroEvolution, but they do debate how and under what circumstances it occurs.

Big Numbers: a Concept Creationists Don't Understand
This video rests on one assumption, that mutations are a constant fact of life. Is this valid? Yes. Three common causes of mutations are radicals, ionizing radiation, and polymerase errors. Radicals are a constant given the chemistry of the earth. Ionizing radiations has existed long before life. And no polymerase is perfect. Therefore, mutations have occurred in the past and continue to occur today.

The Evolution of Irreducible Complexity
If we are to have a proper debate we all need to use the same definition of Irreducible Complexity. Michael Behe defines it as:
"By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning"
The problem is ID / creationist supporters take this to mean that an IC system could not have evolved. Their mistake is that IC is a statement about a systems present state, not its past history.
Many systems are by definition IC. But for every IC system studied data exists supporting a biologically plausible scenario for their evolution.
So in short, are their IC systems. Yes. Does being IC mean it could not have evolved. NO.

The Creationist Concept of Kind
Creationists love to use the term kind. But what does it mean, and should we care. In this video I point out the huge flaw in using the term kind in a scientific discussion about evolution. Kind is a subjective term. The user is free to define any criteria for grouping objects. I go through a series of examples. Just like the term humankind, we can also add vehiclekind, peoplekind, artkind, sweetkind, and so on. One of the hallmarks of science is having a set of specifically and rigorously defined terms (a.k.a jargon) so that there is no misunderstanding when we communicate. The term kind is the complete opposite of this.

The Creation Museum Teaches Super Evolution
I invite everyone to view the full collection of photos taken at the creation "museum".
http://www.flickr.com/photos/n1c0star/sets/72157600335006271/
These images were not taken by me. It was a mistake by me to refer to the couple as atheists in the video. By their own admission they simple are two people who do not believe in creationism.
I always put museum in quotes as this building makes a mockery of the fine history of science and art institutions. The slides I have selected show clear evidence that creationists believe in and promote the idea of Super Evolution. Here I present very simple evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that such rapid change is completely impossible and goes against every single piece of data collected over the past century and a half.
This "museum" goes beyond teaching super evolution. The real goal is to convince the visitor that science in general does not work. And of course this makes sense. How else can one reconcile the ideas offered by creationists with the millions of facts collected by scientists. In short, creationists want people to accept what they say, and not think for themselves. Because even the most marginal effort of free thought will unmask their ideas as completely ludicrous.
This "museum" makes it clear that creationists want our society to fall back into the dark ages. Ask yourself this: Where have all of our medical breakthroughs come from? Where have our communications and transportation technologies come from? The scientific method, logic, and human reason are the backbone of modern civilization. Creationists want us to abandon them for blind acceptance. Yet they are more than willing to use these technologies to advance their ignorance. And yes that does make them hypocrites.
The slide at 4:33 should read "most animals are diploid" as the vast majority are but a few specie are in fact haploid.

How Evolution Works- Introduction (Part I)
-CROATIA ISNT AN ISLAND! It was off the Croatian coast- on the island of Pod Mrcaru.
-The Croatian war of independence was from 1991-1995, not in the 70s as I mistakenly said (sorry).
The first in my new series designed to teach people everything they need to know about evolution from a scientific perspective.

http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/050811_scientists_god.html
From line 1: "About two-thirds of scientists believe in God, according to a new survey that uncovered stark differences based on the type of research they do."
-For clarification, the study does NOT say they believe in a Christian God, or what type of God for that matter. I referenced this close to Christianity, and want to make sure no one confuses what I meant, or said.

1. The Nature of Evolution: Selection, Inheritance, and History
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
The lecture presents an overview of evolutionary biology and its two major components, microevolution and macroevolution. The idea of evolution goes back before Darwin, although Darwin thought of natural selection. Evolution is driven by natural selection, the correlation between organism traits and reproductive success, as well as random drift. The history of life goes back approximately 3.7 billion years to a common ancestor, and is marked with key events that affect all life.

2. Basic Transmission Genetics
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Genetic transmission is the mechanism that drives evolution. DNA encodes all the information necessary to make an organism. Every organism's DNA is made of the same basic parts, arranged in different orders. DNA is divided into chromosomes, or groups of genes, which code for proteins. Asexually reproducing organisms reproduce using mitosis, while sexually reproducing organisms reproduce using meiosis. Both these mechanisms involve duplication of DNA, which then gets passed to offspring. RNA is a key component in the duplication of DNA.

3. Adaptive Evolution: Natural Selection
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Adaptive Evolution is driven by natural selection. Natural selection is not "survival of the fittest," but rather "reproduction of the fittest." Evolution can occur at many different speeds based on the strength of the selection driving it. These types of selection can result in directional, stabilizing, and disruptive outcomes. They can be driven by frequency-dependent selection and sexual selection, in addition to more standard types of selection.

4. Neutral Evolution: Genetic Drift
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Neutral evolution occurs when genes do not experience natural selection because they have no effect on reproductive success. Neutrality arises when mutations in an organism's genotype cause no change in its phenotype, or when changes in the genotype bring about changes in the phenotype that do not affect reproductive success. Because neutral genes do not change in any particular direction over time and simply "drift," thanks in part to the randomness of meiosis, they can be used as a sort of molecular clock to determine common ancestors or places in the phylogenetic tree of life.

5. How Selection Changes the Genetic Composition of Population
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Genetics controls evolution. There are four major genetic systems, which are combinations of sexual/asexual and haploid/diploid. In all genetic systems, adaptive genetic change tends to start out slow, accelerate in the middle, and occur slowly at the end. Asexual haploids can change the fastest, while sexual diploids usually change the slowest. Gene frequencies in large populations only change if the population undergoes selection.

6. The Origin and Maintenance of Genetic Variation
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Mutations are the origin of genetic diversity. Mutations introduce new traits, while selection eliminates most of the reproductively unsuccessful traits. Sexual recombination of alleles can also account for much of the genetic diversity in sexual species. In some instances, population size can affect diversity and rates of evolution and fixation, but in other cases population size does not matter.

7. The Importance of Development in Evolution
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Development is responsible for the complexity of multicellular organisms. It helps to map the genotype into the phenotype expressed by the organism. Development is responsible for ancient patterns among related organisms, and many structures important to development shared by many life forms have changed little over hundreds of millions of years. Development is expressed combinatorially, allowing a relatively small amount of genetic information to be expressed in many different ways.

Reaction norms depict the range of phenotypes a single genotype can produce, depending on the environment. Reaction norms must fit within an organism's phylogenetic constraints.

9. The Evolution of Sex
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
There are several explanations for the evolution of sex and its continued prevalence. One is facilitating the spread of helpful mutations while hastening the removal of harmful ones. Another is expediting resistance against pathogens. Sex does have several costs compared to asex, such as only giving half your genome to offspring, having to find mates, and the risk of predation and STDs. Overall, the benefits outweigh the costs and sex has a firm hold on the majority of the recent branches of the tree of life.

10. Genomic Conflict
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Genomic conflict arises when the interests of various genomic elements, such as chromosomes and cytoplasmic organelles, are not aligned. These conflicts arise in two situations: either when one unit is contained within another, as a mitochondrion is contained within a cell, or when inheritance is asymmetrical. Genomic conflict can thus occur within a cell, within an organism, or between two organisms, such as a mother and developing fetus. There have been several steps taken to avoid these conflicts in sexual species, including the fairness of meiosis and the uniparental inheritance of cytoplasmic genomes.

11. Life History Evolution
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Life history covers three main classes of traits in organisms: age and size at maturity, number and size of offspring, and lifespan and reproductive investment. Organisms must make tradeoffs among these traits that typically cause them to come to evolutionary equilibrium at intermediate values. Life history traits are evolutionary solutions to the ecological problems of the risk of mortality and the acquisition of food, and they are expressed in reaction norms that determine the particular traits that an organism will exhibit when its genes encounter a specific environment during development.

12. Sex Allocation
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Sex allocation is an organism's decision on how much of its reproductive investment should be distributed to male and female functions and/or offspring. Under most conditions, the optimal ratio is 50:50, but that can change under certain circumstances. Sex allocation determines what sexes sequential hermaphrodites should be at each part of their life as well as how simultaneous hermaphrodites should behave. Some species have more control over the sexes of their offspring than others, and adjust the sex ratios of their offspring depending on the environment and conditions.

13. Sexual Selection
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Sexual selection is a component of natural selection in which mating success is traded for survival. Natural selection is not necessarily survival of the fittest, but reproduction of the fittest. Sexual dimorphism is a product of sexual selection. In intersexual selection, a sex chooses a mate. In intrasexual selection, individuals of one sex compete among themselves for access to mates. Often honest, costly signals are used to help the sex that chooses make decisions.

14. Species and Speciation
Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Speciation is the process through which species diverge from each other and/or from a common ancestor. There are several definitions of species, most of which focus on reproductive isolation and/or phylogenetic similarities. This can cause some controversy. Speciation can result from geographical separation or ecological specialization. There are stages of speciation in which organisms cluster first into distinct populations before finally becoming different species.

Designed as a possible title sequence for a fictitious documentary, this film shows a history of the title sequence in a nutshell. The sequence includes all the names of title designers who had a revolutionary impact on the history and evolution of the title sequence. The names of the title designers all refer to specific characteristics of the revolutionary titles that they designed.
This film refers to elements such as the cut and shifted characters of Saul Bass' Psycho title, the colored circles of Maurice Binder's design for Dr. No and the contemporary designs of Kyle Cooper and Danny Yount.
This title sequence refers to the following designers and their titles:
Georges Méliès - Un Voyage Dans La Lune, Saul Bass - Psycho, Maurice Binder - Dr. No, Stephen Frankfurt - To Kill A Mockingbird, Pablo Ferro - Dr. Strangelove, Richard Greenberg - Alien, Kyle Cooper - Seven, Danny Yount - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / Sherlock Holmes

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
The Tree of Life must be discovered through rigorous analysis. Genetic information is crucial because appearances can be deceiving, and species that look similar can prove to be genetically very dissimilar and not share recent common ancestors. Two criteria, used to determine what the "correct" Tree is, are simplicity and whether the tree maximizes the probability of observing what we actually see.

David William Duchovny (born August 7, 1960) is an American actor, writer and director. He has won Golden Globe awards for his work as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files and Hank Moody on Californication.[1]
Contents |
Early life[link]
Duchovny was born in New York City, New York, the son of Margaret "Meg" (née Miller), a school administrator and teacher, and Amram Ducovny (1927–2003),[2] a writer and publicist who worked for the American Jewish Committee.[3][4][5] David's paternal grandparents were Jewish emigrants from Ukraine,[6] and his mother is a Lutheran emigrant from Aberdeen, Scotland.[7][8][9] His father dropped the h in his last name to avoid the sort of mispronunciations he encountered while serving in the Army.[3][10][11]
Education[link]
Duchovny attended Grace Church School and The Collegiate School For Boys; both are in Manhattan. He graduated from Princeton University[4] in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. He was a member of the Charter Club, one of the university's eating clubs. In 1982, his poetry received an honorable mention for a college prize from the Academy of American Poets. The title of his senior thesis was The Schizophrenic Critique of Pure Reason in Beckett's Early Novels.[12] Duchovny played a season of junior varsity basketball as a shooting guard and centerfield for the varsity baseball team.
He received a Master of Arts in English Literature from Yale University and subsequently began work on a Ph.D. that remains unfinished.[4] The title of his uncompleted doctoral thesis was Magic and Technology in Contemporary Poetry and Prose. At Yale, he was a student of popular literary critic Harold Bloom.
Career[link]
Duchovny appeared in an advertisement for Löwenbräu beer in 1987. He appears in two scenes in Working Girl (1988). He had a recurring role as a transvestite DEA agent on the series Twin Peaks and played the narrator/host in the long-running Showtime erotica/softcore TV series Red Shoe Diaries. In 1992, he played the role of Rollie Totheroh, in the biographic film Chaplin, directed by Richard Attenborough, and based on the life of Charlie Chaplin. In 1993, Duchovny began starring in the science fiction series The X-Files as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, a conspiracy theorist who believed his sister had been abducted by aliens.[4] The show emerged as a cult hit and quickly became one of The Fox Network's first major hits. Also in 1993, Duchovny was cast alongside Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis, in the Dominic Sena-directed thriller, Kalifornia.
During The X-Files run, in between the fifth and sixth seasons, Duchovny co-starred alongside Gillian Anderson in a 1998 motion picture that continued the X-Files storyline, titled The X-Files: Fight the Future.[4] He remained with the series until quitting in 2001, partly because of a contract dispute that occurred after season seven finished filming.[14] Duchovny appeared in half of the season eight episodes, but did not appear in season nine until the series finale in 2002. He also provided the voice for a parody of his Fox Mulder character in an episode of The Simpsons, titled The Springfield Files. Duchovny was nominated for four Emmy Awards[15]
Duchovny caused controversy when it became public that he was the primary reason for which filming of The X-Files series was moved from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Los Angeles in 1998. Many residents of Vancouver were upset with Duchovny over scripted jokes on Conan O'Brien's late night show about the city's heavy rainfall; he joked, "Vancouver is a very nice place, if you like 400 inches of rainfall a day." He also stated, "Of course, I'm tired of the rain. But if I wasn't married to a woman that lives in L.A. I'd stay in Vancouver. It's a lovely city."[16] During the run of The X-Files, he also made several guest appearances in the cult TV satire The Larry Sanders Show, playing himself, but adding a strong attraction to Sanders. In the final episode of the series, he performed a parody of Sharon Stone's 'flashing' scene from Basic Instinct and a parody of "Dr. Hannibal Lecter" being introduced to Agent "Clarice Starling" in The Silence of the Lambs.
Duchovny has guest hosted Saturday Night Live twice (May 13, 1995 and May 9, 1998). Both shows were season finales. In 2000 he starred in the feature film Return to Me, a romantic comedy/drama directed by Bonnie Hunt and co-starring Minnie Driver and Carroll O'Connor. In 2001 Duchovny played a hand model in the Ben Stiller comedy, Zoolander. He also played the role of Ira Kane in the movie Evolution alongside Seann William Scott that same year.
He appeared in a celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in May 2000. He got to the $250,000 question, but answered his $500,000 question incorrectly and lost $218,000, leaving him with $32,000.
He also appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy! in 1995 and 2010.
Duchovny provided the voice of Ethan Cole in the 2005 video game, Area 51, as well as that of the title character "XIII" in the 2003 video game XIII. In 2003 Duchovny starred in the 84th[17] episode of the HBO show Sex And The City. He played the role of Jeremy, Carrie Bradshaw's high-school ex-boyfriend, who has committed himself to a Connecticut mental health facility. In 2005 Duchovny, who had already made his directorial debut with an episode of The X-Files, wrote, directed, and appeared in the feature film House of D.[4] The film starred Anton Yelchin, Robin Williams, and Duchovny's wife Tea Leoni in a coming-of-age tale.[4] It received mostly poor reviews[18] and little box office success.[19] Duchovny also directed an episode of Bones (Episode 211, "Judas on a Pole") during its second season.
Duchovny currently plays Hank Moody, a troubled novelist in Showtime's series Californication. The portrayal landed him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Comedy or Musical in 2007.[20]
Paul Ruffino, the studio executive in charge of casting The X-Files show and later Duchovny's role model for the Hank Moody character on Californication, was very positive towards him. According to Carter, Duchovny turned out to be one of the best-read people he knew.[21] After getting the role, Duchovny thought the show wouldn't last for long or that it wouldn't make as much impact as it did. Executive producer Frank Spotnitz called portraying actor Duchovny "amazingly smart". He further stated that Duchovny was behind some of the main characteristic ideas behind Mulder.[22]
Personal life[link]
Duchovny married actress Téa Leoni on May 6, 1997. In April 1999, Leoni gave birth to a daughter, Madelaine West Duchovny. Their second child, a son, Kyd Miller Duchovny, was born in June 2002. On October 15, 2008, Duchovny's and Leoni's representatives issued a statement that they had separated and had been for several months prior to this announcement.[23] On October 21, 2008, Duchovny's lawyer said that he plans to sue the U.K.'s Daily Mail over an article it ran that claimed he had an affair with Hungarian tennis instructor Edit Pakay while still married to Leoni, a claim that Duchovny has denied.[24] On November 15, 2008, the Daily Mail printed a retraction stating that the story "is inaccurate and Ms. Pakay and Mr. Duchovny are only friends who used to play tennis occasionally".[25] Duchovny and Leoni once again split on June 29, 2011.[26]
Duchovny is a former vegetarian and a current pescetarian.[27]
In 1996, People magazine named him one of its 50 Most Beautiful People.[28]
On August 28, 2008, Duchovny announced that he had checked himself into a rehabilitation facility for treating sex addiction.[29]
