If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.
Through our evolution, we’re so specialized for social interaction. So, if you can really design robots that can interact with people, in this very natural, interpersonal way, I think that would be great. You wouldn’t have to have people read manuals, in order to operate them.
It is difficult to imagine evolution in alien planets operating in any manner other than Darwinian.
In my lifetime, we’ve gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We’ve gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we’ll be voting for plants.
In the evolution of mankind there has always been a certain degree of social coherence.
Charles Darwin got his theory, his notion of natural selection, evolution, and so did its independent discoverer, Alfred Wallace, from reading Malthus.
Naturally, we think that finding another Earth-like planet is identifying a site that’s at least friendly here for the evolution of life. The primary goal of the Kepler mission is to statistically assess the occurrence of these small terrestrial worlds.
Evolution doesn’t care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we’ve achieved as a species with the space program. We can’t afford to regress back to the days of superstition.
For science, the end of the evolution struggle is simply represented by ‘survival.’ As for the means to that end, apparently anything goes. Darwinism leaves humanity without a moral compass.
Dragons are basically our pipe-dreams of what birds would be if they still looked liked ancient dinosaurs but followed evolution’s flight plan.
We have the ability to completely change our environment to go… to take on… to inherit, in a certain sense, things far beyond our DNA, and that’s inheritable. And we can see evolution in action as our ideas evolve and undergo a kind of Darwinian selection not at the DNA level. And we can go off into space.
There’s 40 or 50 songs that nobody’s heard that I’ve done in between albums. There’s a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that’s never been released.
While I used to make my living principally as a record producer, as time went on, I had to depend more and more on my live performances because of the evolution of the record industry, which has de-emphasized what made it possible to make a living.
Well, protest is central to the evolution of black American culture. It was protest that really finally won our freedom for us. Beyond that, it’s always interesting to note that it expanded the idea of democracy.
My spiritual evolution I would describe as journey from literalism to figuratism. I now see all religious texts as pointing to an ineffable truth.
New words can spread like wildfire thanks to social media – you only have to look at ‘mansplaining’ and ‘milkshake duck’ to see language evolution at work – so why not old ones too?
Some distant day, anthropologists will consider as a landmark in humankind’s evolution – comparable to the capacity for destroying ourselves by nuclear obliteration – the adolescent gene’s newly emergent power to dictate nightly TV viewing.
Raw foodists are kind of paddling upstream against evolution. The only reason they can do it, and they don’t all keel over, is that they are using blenders. They’re very Cuisinart-dependent.
We think we can play a small part in the evolution of culture.
Time moves too slowly for me to notice any evolution in my creative tendencies.
This is the evolution of television. It just keeps evolving from three networks, four cable networks, satellite. Now there’s Internet channels and the phone.
Evolution does not necessarily favor the longest-lived. It doesn’t necessarily favor the biggest or the strongest or the fastest, and not even the smartest. Evolution favors those creatures best adapted to their environment. That is the sole test of survival and success.
We launched DirecTV Now. Our 5G evolution plans and improved spectrum position are paving the way for the next generation of super-fast mobile and fixed networks.
We are so arrogant, we forget that we are not the reason for evolution, we are not the point of evolution. We are part of evolution. Unfortunately, we believe that we’ve been created to dominate the planet, to dominate nature. Ain’t true.
I really, really like Nicole Richie, and the only reason why I always bring her up is because I’m impressed with her style evolution. This is someone that came onto the scene that people didn’t necessarily view as a style icon, and she completely switched up the game. And I like how she takes risks with fashion.
An honest observer of the evolution of conditions in Egypt would discover that terrorism is an alien phenomenon, strange to our values and heritage.
It was the point where things became much more abstract and less literal than in the bulk of the film, which was hardcore rockets and space and planets – all a fairly straightforward evolution from what I had been doing before.
The dripping… well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, it’s a natural part in the evolution of the work.
It’s just an unhealthy way to approach something, trying to outdo your last thing. You’ve gotta trust evolution, you’ve gotta trust that the bar is moving, that you don’t need to force the bar. It’ll just happen.
The Tae-Bo guy has a good body on him. I believe in evolution as far as lifting and training and building muscle. I was doing functional movement before CrossFit was ever a thing. I was playing football, doing platform lifts, all kinds of wacky kettle-bell stuff before kettle bells were kettle bells.
I’m trying to tell the story of the evolution of America. Each biography is a life in time, and I can see there’s a particular task for each generation that I write about.
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
My favorite part of working with ‘Lucha Underground’ is learning more Lucha, combining that with my WWE psychology, and taking wrestling to a place we’ve never seen before in the evolution of wrestling.
Just as your own existence is unlikely and far from inevitable, the evolution of modern humans as a species depended on a whole string of chance events – some happening in the environments our ancestors inhabited, and some inside their own bodies, including random mutations in their DNA.
Gigabit LTE will be an important technology evolution because that puts demands on the rest of the network to basically be – 5G-ify it.
Speed helps a lot of things. It can cover up mistakes. I think with the evolution of the offense, with spreading things out more, the better you can run, the better you can be.
I’ve been very fortunate to be given the opportunities I’ve been given, and it’s been awesome. You know I’m really looking forward to seeing how this Women’s Evolution continues.
Playing Hamidabai was an eyeopener to how much we’ve lost in the evolution of our culture and society. In many ways, she mirrors my personal life journey, as a woman fighting to stay true to her passion despite all odds.
When I see how fast technology is advancing, my mind thinks of evolution and how organisms also have to evolve or adapt in order to, in their case, survive.
It’s a heartening fact about the human race that utopian fiction precedes dystopian fiction in the evolution of literature.
For the first time in human evolution, the individual life is long enough, and the cultural transformation swift enough, that the individual mind is now a constituent player in the global transformation of human culture.
I watch Straus’ fights way before we fought for the first time. He’s in constant evolution.
The shark is the apex predator in the sea. Sharks have molded evolution for 450 million years. All fish species that are prey to the sharks have had their behavior, their speed, their camouflage, their defense mechanisms molded by the shark.
God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed – that is the meaning of evolution.
People who believe in creationism say that by teaching evolution you are indoctrinating them with science, but I just don’t agree with that.
We’ve only explored about 5% of our ocean. There are great discoveries yet to be made down there – fantastic creatures representing millions of years of evolution and possibly bioactive compounds that could benefit us in ways we can’t even imagine.
Whether man is a product of evolution or is ‘created’ becomes the question, ‘Who is man? Is he part of the world or something different from it?’
All I ever wanted to do was make things. My whole life has been a constant evolution on that theme.
I am not a creationist as the term is usually understood. I believe that the earth is billions of years old and the universe even older. I do believe that God is the creator, but that’s a completely different thing. I’ve written in defense of evolution and made arguments that are based on evolution.
Evolution is ultimately why cancer is so deadly. Take two biopsies from different sides of a tumor, and they can be genetically very different, making it that much harder to fight. Variation is the toolbox of evolution, and this variation gives cancer strength.
