Evolution rocks

  „And the Web is just a dress rehearsal. In the next five years, three enormous media -- telephone, television and movies -- are migrating to digital formats: Voice Over IP, High-Definition TV and Digital Video Disc, respectively. As with the Internet of the early '90s, there is little coordination between these efforts, and a great deal of effort on the part of some of the companies involved to intentionally build in incompatibilities to maintain a cartel-like ability to avoid competition, such as DVD's mutually incompatible standards for different continents.“

  „If enough people are favorably disposed to religious arguments, scientists will have a much tougher time winning the debate (are there evolution debates in Europe?) And biology is much squishier than physics and cosmology. Galileo can drop a ball and pretty easily convince someone about its rate of descent, but when you have to go the fossil record and catalog all your reasonable inferences, it's hard to make the doubters feel irrational. Finally, evolutionary biology just doesn't matter very much.“
