I wonder how that game does in india?

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Ah, don't worry, I had that exact same feeling a year ago. Now it fortunately seems like it's starting to be the other way round. If you endure, it will only have made you stronger (and possibly more compassionate) in the end.
