I quote Lila regularly. You ignore it. As for sad, pathetic -- typical smear
used in an attempt to divert attention from your kooky ideas.

What theories are you talking about. As for relative, we know you're a
postmodernist where even truth is relative. So why believe anything you say?

Reproducing life is part of the overall evolutionary thrust.

Who knows? Like I've said, chance means "We don't know." The overall movement
of evolution is obviously toward greater levels of versatility and freedom.
Or would you rather be a mule?
