A better explanation is that the genome is an algorithmic program, front-loaded, and waiting to unfold biological novelty at set intervals.
Interesting opinion, but sexual reproduction yields more genetic diversity per generation. There's obvious advantages, that's why animals/plants that can do both optimally go for sexual over a-sexual.

(Jan 4 07, 12:42)bolus: go and learn about the cell. Learn about the 4 letter nucleotide alphabet ribosome coding computer in it's nucleus. Learn about it's error protection mechanisms and transcription shuttles, etc... What you find at the fundamental core of life is digital code.

interesting flagellum, honestly.
but what do you think about humans developing further and further in programming and genetic coding etc? Aren't we becoming Gods ourselves?

Mimio: the problem is that NS is a conservative force. It ensures extinction ultimately ala deleterious mutations. It's not creative and cannot produce novel genetic information. Dimorphic sexuality certainly does yield more diversity per generation, but blind, conservative mechanisms do not have the forethought to realize this and would not have relevant data in the asexual creature to apply selection pressures to.
None of this even broaches the subject of biochemical steps in going from an asexual creature to a dimorphic one. My head spins to even dream on that one. Again, biological novelty cannot be purchased without intelligence to input the information either in the front end or at intervals of it's choosing.
It's very easy to say "can go for sexual over a-sexual". It's a much bigger challenge to demonstrate how non-telic Darwinian mechanisms can make it happen.

Crouwel: I have no doubt that humans will continue to adapt and change with technological evolution. Evolution happens. The question is the mechanism(s).
What you've described is Intelligent Design.

Mimio: I think you'd find the peer reviewed papers of emeritus professor and biologist, John A. Davison, to be of interest. He is a cratchety, mean, and old agnostic who presents a mechanism that Darwinists don't like people to hear about. He essentially demonstrates the evidence for front-loaded "evolution" and shows how ontology is essentially the same process as phylogeny. IOW, just as all the information is present in the egg, so it is for the grand scale of evolutionary change. Here is a link to one of his papers:

Another key paper of his:

He calls it the "Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis"

how did a topic so fun turn into this utter tripe?
kill me now.
no wait, let me have sex one last time.

is it a coincidence that my response was #69? i think not.

i wanna hump you
- emokid0
yeah. that's the kind of talk i like.

Emo, the book link I posted (further up) describes how the creative cmind is a sexual advantage in the attraction of sexual partners.
