Yes. The electronics getting hot and shutting off will, for no apparent reason, expend significant amounts of delta-v, deorbiting the station.

So... In other words...

I think I get it now...

Huh?

You could also find out if your sister was really your sister, or indeed even human.

What else can we do with his sister? Could genome sequencing help us use her skin to make larger sails?

Did not realize there were that many furries out there. Though, it makes sense, we make the internets go.

The same thing that happens if you get too close to the edge at Australian train stations:

You are very intimidating from behind the safety of your keyboard.

The badger dance is just a homage to one of da Vinci's early works, lighten up Francis!

I hate to break it to you, but if you're a sysadmin and not a furry, something is wrong with you.

Coming soon to FOX!

Has he forgotten who runs the Internets?

You forgot to link to the relevant pic.

(I love that picture so much.)

It's chink in the armor not army. You know, like the Fox TV series.

Your misplaced sarcasm aside, I recommend the youtube vids. They're not evidence and nobody presents them that way, but they are exceptionally good at demonstrating how natural selection + mutation + generations = the transformation of something simple (an uncalibrated pendulum) to something complex (an accurate four-handed time piece).

I paused several times reading that to gather some references to show how flat wrong you are, until I completed reading your post and realised the scale of work required. So here's a summary. All of the following can be backed up with a few google and wiki searches.

Evolution has been observed, forced and guided in "the lab", using various species (bacteria's the most common but I also spotted one involving caterpillars). Evolution is a ridiculously simple premise that is oft misunderstood, especially by people who don't quite understand that complex creatures and features start simple.

Finally, If you want to disassemble humans down to their most basic components and then argue we're the same as dirt/clay/trucks/the sun, go nuts, just don't present it in an argument and expect people to not call you retarded.

I leave you with a very appropriate link. Have a good weekend!
