I have noticed with great interest that there are files containing satellite photos of hurricane HUGO available via ftp. Unfortunately, our campus is not currently connected to INTERNET. We are in the process of lobbying our University administration for access. However, I would greatly appreciate getting a copy of the HUGO images. If any one can help by emailing them to me or advising me of an alternate method, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanx in advance. ------------------------------ Date: 3 Oct 89 05:25:15 GMT From: ncrlnk!ncr-sd!crash!orbit!pnet51!schaper@uunet.uu.net (S Schaper) Subject: Re: Human contamination? evolutionaryy So you are proposing a god named Evolution with a Will and a Purpose?!? >Perhaps intelligence became favoured in evolution, becuase it is evolutions' current attempt to insure survival of DNA-based life, by contaminating the universe with it" Pray tell how proteins and acids have this intelligence and knowledge of the existance of the universe, and how they can plan mutations to produce star-travelling civilizations? You are proposing a new god. That is its correct category. Either Theology is the Queen of the sciences or else this belongs in talk.origins, or some discussion on religion and philosophy. Personally I do believe that areas of study inter-relate, but due to the prevalence of bigotry, let us at least acknowledge this. Zeitgeist Busters!
