Adapt or die, BHF. Surely you ARE NOT suggesting Islam is going to adapt?
Ah, no, man. Be cool. They are going to die.

And here yu seem so free. A paragon, a symbol. Not a symbiont. Am I really talking to a yu? Or talking to a flea?

Interesting that one of the articles on this Black Death Plague DNA stated that it was not connected with the Justinian Plague that killed 100 million and threw the West into the Dark Ages. It did, however, start in Western China.

I would consider this a successful adaptation.I like it. I guess there could be some downside not yet realized but it's hard to imagine what would be worse than losing a third of the population to a horrid disease.

Related?I don't think so. This guy seems to be arguing that it came to us like in that movie about the pod people. ;-)

This line of reasoning doesn’t come up nearly as often as it should.
I’ve read countless journals in which it is stated that organism X causes death in y% of its victims, and the analysis stops there. My question has always been, what is it about the victims that caused them to die? What enabled the survivors to live? But I never see research designed to answer those questions.
