Radioactive decay rates: We do have indirect evidence (spectra from distant stars) that the laws of physics were pretty much the same millions of years ago. There is uncertainty in radioactive dating, but on the whole it is pretty good. As for your 20,000 year old dinosaur, I'd guess it was a fake or a mistake, or some oddity with the particular circumstances of that dinosaur.

I think it's wrong to say that evolution has a goal. It just does what it does, with no concern for what happens.

Anyway, in a hundred years' time, there will be plenty of selection pressure in favour of being able to survive in a nuclear wasteland :P

Really, humans are only the "best" species because what counts as "best" has been chosen by humans. Rats are at least as successful as humans, and probably have much better long-term survival prospects.

And don't forget God's inordinate fondness for beetles.

Medicine is also anti-evolution. In the past, sickly people or people with, say, cystic fibrosis didn't live long enough to have children. Now, almost any set of genes, no matter how unhealthy, can be survived with for quite some time. So every gene, no matter how damaging, is reproduced.

—Alorael, who sees a more likely effect of genetic manipulation than superpowered humans. Instead, it's likely that someone will miss the importance of one critical but misunderstood gene, remove it from everyone because it seems harmful, and consign the entire species to death by a new virus.

Medicine is not really anti-evolution. It helps preserve genetic variation that is harmful now but might be useful later. Reproducing damaging genes is not bad for evolution, unless there are so many of them that it wipes out a good gene. Gould wrote a nice essay about that, but I forget which.

Anyway, even with medicine, we can still evolve to be sexier.

Adding a bit to the point 3, evolution slows down over time if anything, as niches are filled and genetic variation is reduced. Also, improvements in the DNA copying mechanism reduce the mutation rate and slow things down too, probably.

I was really surprised when I first came across a Christian who didn't believe in evolution. It just hadn't occurred to me that such people could exist.

Quasi-witch hunting? But the new-agers are witches ;) .

I think new-agers get confused with satanists, who are automatically thought of as evil.

I don't believe in heaven, or hell, so it's not something that worries me.

Personally, I see them as the carrot and the stick that are included to frighten people into following the religion.

Any god that sends people to hell for eternity is not worth worshipping, in my view. (Yes, I've heard all the semantic wriggling about how we send ourselves to hell, whatever. I don't buy it.)

I have an atheist mother, christian father, and I went to church/sunday school until I was expelled. Stopping believing in all the stuff they claimed came shortly before that, I think, and stopping liking it came a year or so later.

Weaker characters and weaker opponents make things more interesting, normally.

But since I'm watching this RP just to see how ludicrous things get, I'm all for things continuing to go the way they currently are :P

If I remember correctly, in the UK you are legally required to lock up a gun somewhere secure when you are not using it. I don't think it's legal to carry a gun around with you all the time, but it is definitely not something that people (not even the police, in normal circumstances) do.

Very few people own guns here, as far as I know, and I like it this way.

Some random-seeming questions that are important to me:
1. Does it change the screen resolution when it runs?
2. Can it install to F:\ instead of C:\ ?
3. Will it work in Win2k with non-administrative access?

Also OOC, since I don't have a C to be I:
They presumably do these things by a combination of forgetting about it and using their ludicrously overpowered magic to deal with it.
