Actually, planes fly in inner space. It is the space between the Earth and outer space. But if you mean how far is it, then it is 12,430 miles between the poles in a straight line. You couldn't travel there since the inner core is about 9,800 �F.

I am not sure what you mean about flying unless you are speaking of tail winds. Or you are thinking of time zones, which do not affect flight time.

Actually, there used to be multiple human species and we either bred with them till they were out of existence or killed them outright! Good examples would be Hobbits and Neanderthals.
hmm wasent neanderthal man proven to be a fraud about 1930???


Here is some science.

"Neandertals died out in Western Europe earlier than many scientists thought, between about 41,000 and 39,000 years ago, after interbreeding with modern humans and picking up toolmaking pointers from them for a few thousand years, a new study suggests.

These new findings join a long-standing debate about the fate of the Neandertals that shows no signs of dimming.

Previous reports that some Neandertals survived in Southwestern Europe until more recently, about 30,000 years ago, hinged on underestimates of the age of carbon from ancient bones and other organic material, say archaeologist Tom Higham of the University of Oxford and his colleagues. Improved radiocarbon dating methods now indicate that Neandertals disappeared at different times in different regions of Western Europe before finally going extinct about 40,000 years ago, the scientists report in the Aug. 21 Nature."



That is a good point. Homo Sapiens did not evolve from Neandratal Man man, they were bred out. That is not a random mutation.

Because man was created not evolved. If u had a computer with win98, how long would it take.to evlve to win7? Without intelligent input it aint gonna happen.


That is a straw man argument.

It seems that a lot of people have misconceptions about Darwin's theory.

1. Life came from a single creature. There could have been many types of organism that arose from the stuff that existed before they formed. The would all have different paths.

2. How changes occur. DNA replication is not a perfect process. Sometime a gene gets replicated incorrectly, there is a mutation. Or maybe it is a perfect process because it introduces mutations.

3. Survival of the fittest means the strong or smartest survive. This concept doesn't mean that the strongest lion lives. It means that if a mutated organism, animal, whatever you want to call it, is more capable of surviving in it's environment, it is more fit than it's predecessor.

4. Darwin said that evolution is brought about by natural selection. Darwin believed that Evolution occurs, but never tried to prove that the mechanism was natural selection. He also never wrote about the origin of humans.
