Artificial Life Forms Evolve Basic Memory, Strategy
Calopteryx notes a New Scientist piece on how digital organisms in a computer world called Avida replicate, mutate, and have evolved a rudimentary form of memory. Another example of evolution in a simulation lab is provided by reader Csiko: "An evolutionary algorithm was used to derive a control strategy for simulated robot soccer players. The results are interesting — after a few hundred generations, the robots learn to defend, pass, and score — amazing considering that there was no trainer in the system; the self-organizing differentiated behavior of the players emerged solely out of the evolutionary process."
God does the selecting.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
Since my shoe soles wear out in a certain pattern in response to my way of walking they must be evolving? Since certain things on computers and in nature seem to just "Work" in ways not designed by man, it's proof of evolution and not creation? ... Balderdash!
