→Evolution: first things first
:::Would the section be OK if the reference to common descent were omitted? Like I said - it's usually lumped in with evolution in the common mind, but most biology only uses evolution (with common descent a question of paleontology and such).--[[User:M|M]] 17:19, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

Biology is the study of life. I think we should stick to what is known about life. Everyone wants to jump into speculations about origins, but the [[Origins debate]] is complex and quickly gets heated. Can we please start with the basics?
I'd like to know what a [[cell]] is, and how the [[microbiology]] of it works. And does anyone know how a zebra's coat has striped patterns? Or why a starfish grows back a missing limb? Or how homing pigeons find their way back home?
Too hard? Okay, let's start with easier stuff like blood clotting. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 17:23, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
