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.

You wouldn't have contact with secret group of scientists. Only original minister of science and potential minister of science candidates have access to them, so no.

Once a bill becomes the first in the queue, it must be debated on for 24 hours before going up for vote. The debate period may be extended only once for up to 12 more hours if seven Senators move for an extension and an admin approves.

I can't quite believe we're advocating using Aurentine money to expand the reach of British programming without asking how Dr. Who got to be the phenomenon it is today. Public support for domestic programming, that's how!
Senator, I don't appreciate how casually you insult Aurentine writers, actors, directors and producers. You want us to colonize outer space, yet you won't help Aurentine talent get noticed on television? Surely international renown and glory would be better served by having our own programs than by being a laughingstock that only serves up the entertainment of others, like the Canadian networks used to be?
Show me national entertainment comparable to Dr. Who and Star trek.

The Ministry of Culture and Sports must ensure that the utmost reasonable effort is made to discover talented Aurentine television writers, actors, directors and producers, and to produce quality Aurentine television programming.
If at all feasible, the Ministry of Culture and Sports shall make a good-faith attempt to produce at least one television program of significant intellectual depth and such international appeal that it shall increase the reputation of Aurentina as a patron of the great works of art.
Publicly subsidised, owned and/or operated television stations must display programming of meaningful Aurentine origin for at least 20% of their air time each year, beginning in 2018.
