| Futuristic Sex Robotz – Fuck The MPAA Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I'm just going to take a wild guess here; the song's a protest against the MPAA and the RIAA. :) | |

Also, and I know this is kind of annoying for me to keep posting one after the other, but i keep finding new things to argue about as I re-read this whole comments section; Astrolabe1990 said on the first page: Evolution is nothing more than an unsupported hypothesis...and I don't believe it "by the evidence that I see." Really? Interesting... Well, I don't know your religion, you sound like a christian from most of your posts, but I could be wrong. Anyway, if you ARE a Christian, let me sum up your faith, as you "Summed up" evolution"... The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rip-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... Yeah, that makes perfect sense. And before other Christians jump down my throat for this... I have absolutly NOTHING against religion. If that's the way you want to find a purpose for your life, then more power to ya. But to simply say "I read a book about an invisible guy that created everything, and it's true because it says so" is, to use Astrolabe's words: "Nothing more than an unsupported hypothesis." At least we have fossil records. Where are the dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? Or the continents on the Western Hemisphere, for that matter? I seem to remember that the settlers of the Americas used the fact that Native Americans are not mentioned ANYWHERE in the bible as a way to say they were created by Satan. |

"Humans are the ultimate product or goal of evolution." This belief is related to anthropocentrism, the idea that human existence is the point of all universal existence, and is a variation on the idea of "progress". To a biologist, describing the biological evolutionary process as goal-oriented would seem as ludicrous as a physicist claiming that the ultimate goal of gravity is to keep the Earth in its present orbit. |

All right, a bunch of people keep saying this song is about "Devolution", and that they should look at Wikipedia. I did. Here's a direct quote from their article on "devolution": In common parlance, "devolution" is the notion a species may evolve into more "primitive" forms. From a scientific perspective, devolution does not exist. Lay people may see evolution as "progress", reflecting the 19th century ideas of Lamarckism and orthogenesis, but modern genetically-based biological evolution theory asserts that evolution occurs by such mechanisms as natural selection , genetic drift, and mutation, and is therefore not directional, forward or backward in time; hence "devolution" is not a valid concept. Which makes sense. People ASSUME that humans are the pinnacle of evolution, but really, we aren't even close. Think about it; take away our opposable thumbs, and we're screwed. We have no claws, no fangs, hell, we don't even have armor plating. |
