When Intel was searching for the plans for the 486, they found they had to bake tapes at 120F for an hour so that they could be read ONCE in a single pass into an image to recover the data from. And that is just from backup tapes stored for 18 years.
Completely incorrect, which you would know if you had bothered to read the Summa. I find it interesting that most scientists don't realize that science is a subset of theology, and that the scientific method is based on Thomastic thought.
Got any other thing that doesn't require a cause? Yes, it's an a priori assumption, but every branch of philosophy has a priori assumptions. And as such, this one is a pretty dang good one.
Do remember that "I don't know the cause" is not equal to "there is no cause".
It's the only characteristic that matters. EVERY other characteristic, comes from being the uncaused cause.
Without that uncaused cause, there's no universe to act on.
The scientific laws describing nature are a part of God, they are the mind of God. That's the uncaused cause, that's the reason, and it is unreasonable to assume any differently.
Mutations are random, but we already know of one hypermutative species, the tardigrade.
Those that are able to adapt, will survive. Those that don't, will go extinct. The question is, will we adapt, or will we waste a bunch of resources trying to fight the change?
That's ok, the greater oxygen content of the atmosphere combined with the malaria pressure will just increase the sickle cell anemia subspecies to compensate.

Or for that matter, archive to laser etched granite. But even that you have to keep indoors (at the very least).
YEAH! I got an atheist to look seriously at Thomas.
Thanks for helping with my little experiment.
Even in the ancient greeks, science was based on religion. The Pythagoreans were searching for religious symbols, after all.

I'd hate to try to read a tape 30 years old.

That's why I added "as a science"- before him, theology was rather haphazard.
Winter will see a major dip in scooter usage.
According to the guy who invented theology as a science: Thomas Aquinas.
And most theologists probably should find another job, it was all figured out 700 years ago.

I understand how EVOLUTION works, to build ecosystems. If one fails, another will take its place. There is nothing magical about it.

Yes, it is, because natural law is an uncaused cause.
The definition of a God is an uncaused cause. Natural law is an uncaused cause, and thus, just another name for God.
Physicists never were any good at theology:
. "I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature."
But that's just another description of God.
Evolution can happen in a single generation, and does all the time.
TECHNICAL evolution, which our species and a few others are capable of, can happen even faster.
Adapt or die is the rule, but I see nothing in this situation that is going to prevent those species able to adapt from doing so.
Mutations are random, but we already know of one hypermutative species, the tardigrade.
Those that are able to adapt, will survive. Those that don't, will go extinct. The question is, will we adapt, or will we waste a bunch of resources trying to fight the change?
But that won't happen, because some OTHER bug will just take its place.
Nobody said we were going to be the last species standing. The rule is adapt or die. If we can't adapt, then we die.
I suggest we stop trying to freeze our favorite climate and start adapting.
Yes. And so those species better able to survive the new environment, better able to adapt, will survive. Those that can't, didn't deserve to.
I didn't say that we would survive....Though we have one advantage: technological evolution can happen extremely quickly.
All that means is that species that are slow to adapt die and species that are quick to adapt survive.
Bullshit. Roasted Cricket is a fine snack like popcorn. Especially salted with butter.
That's ok, the greater oxygen content of the atmosphere combined with the malaria pressure will just increase the sickle cell anemia subspecies to compensate.
Bad for him; President Trump yesterday signed a bill to clean up the garbage gyres.
Twice as much oxygen is probably a good thing for some humans. Certainly for those with sickle cell anemia.
Climate Scientists are like Creationists, they don't believe in evolution.
