When exactly is it you think we discovered the complexity of genomes?

[When exactly is it you think we discovered the complexity of genomes?]

I think it was over the last 5 decades, with the final genome-project completing the mapping human genomes just a few years ago. Why? Is that somehow germane?

Perhaps you’d like to argue that 20th/21st century scientists thought of everything by themselves? It seems to me that those who made these discoveries had to be educated men to begin with.

What knowledge did they enter their respective fields with? Naturally, it was the knowledge accumulated over centuries, or millennia by others. Those who were, nearly to the man, believers in God.

So... What’s your point?

[[Just because there is a lack of purpose does not alter the objective nature of reality]]

Sorry, posted too soon- meant ot expound a bit on the last few words/sintiment- Objective reality? Who’s objective reality? The objective reality as determined by opinions from purposless men? If there is no point, then really, there is no point in me believing any subjective interpretation of what you or anyone else determines to be objective reality because, it would be pointless.

This needs further fleshing out- but it’s a solid enough foundation to work from- but mind you- this problem has really been philosophised into ground meat.
