 Is not determanism (sp?) then the same as evolutionism?
 I have always tought of myself as a determanist.  That is,
 the events occuring now are a direct result of all action in the 
 past, and all action occuring at time t (now) will directly
 effect the future.  For example, if now I decide to not post this
 note, no one will read it, and all I will have done is practice 
 my typing (so I'm alittle slow) thus effecting only myself.
 When I post this, some will read it and post, others will scoff 
 and use this tidbit in some future rebuttle, and (maybe) some will
 agree.  OK.  You (out there in net-land) decide to read
 net.origins after work instead of going right home.  You read my
 note, respone and go home.  Well, by my posting a note I have
 effected the time you return home.  What does this change?  No  
 one could ever know.
     So, is not evolution determanism of life (so to speak)?







                    Anyway I needed to practice my typing ;-}.
