By the way, I sent an e-mail to Der Voron, wearing a helmet - and got a reply. Sigh. I'm through with him.

Oh, my God - You are going to laugh harder than you ever have in your entire life when you read the title of this new article by Der Voron. Ready?

Yep. I hope their grammar is betterer than yours. Funny thing is, though, that we developed an advanced, intelligent society and they didn't. Wait a minute- am I actually arguing this point?

Quote:
and more importantly, an elephant can creatively use objects that it didn't see in its life before.
We can't do that.

Quote:
What can these facts, the impossibility of developing such a trunk in an evolutional way, and the elephants' intellect, mean? (This puzzle includes mammoths', as their frozen cadavers in Siberia show that they also had giant brains.) It means that elephants and mammoths were genetically engineered by intelligent beings when they first appeared some 5 million years ago. Engineered by Extraterrestrials, since there were no other intelligent beings on the Earth at that time.

?????????????????

I'm fed up with Voron's trash. It's really ridiculous.

Elephant brains weigh about 11 pounds, some 3 times bigger than that of humans --
Well, I would say that Elephants are a little bigger than humans too, has he ever hear of a ratio?

Quote:
Would an adult savage, who'd never seen a knife, guess how to use it for fight
Umm, I'd say yes. It's not like the elephant picked up a rifle, loaded it, aimed and fired!

Quote:
how few muscles other species have in their upper lip and nose, and how weak these muscles are. No other existing mammals genera, families, and orders show a similarly fast evolution of an organ.
Well, Girraffs have really long necks, Blue Whales are enormous, Orangatans have extremely strong muscles... what is der moron talking about?

He gets all that from two facts? And what makes it so evolutionarily impossible for elephants to evolve trunks agian? And I forogt, what was his proof of their overwhelming intelligence? Wow, this may be a worse argument than that anti-Galileo one from the other thread!

I've recently purchased Eldon C. Hall's "Journey to the Moon: The History of the Apollo Guidance Computer" and Thomas J. Kelly's "Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module". Lot's of good material for the summer reading list.
If you haven't already read it, also check out Gene Kranz's "Failure Is Not An Option". In it he recounts his early days with NASA all the way up thru his tenure as FD on the Apollo flights. He also explains in great detail some of the finer, not-so-well-known aspects of how the space program came into existance. An EXCELLENT read!
