    As others above have pointed out, dormancy is an adaptive strategy used by some plant species to survive periods of cold. As with any selectively advantageous strategy, this is the result of natural selection. Not sure about the relevance of your biblical quotes to explaining plant dormancy, though.

    Or more like breaking dormancy (evolution needed).

    Yes, the Bible is full of corresponding cross-references. Could that be because later writers wrote their verses in order to fit the original narrative? Given that it's the supernatural we're dealing with, you could make up any fantastical story you like in order to bolster previous writings and...

    On Evolution & Creation

    Sorry, but I think you are evading my question. Your answer seems to rest on 'what ifs', assumptions and appeals to references written much later after Genesis. If you adhere to biblical literalism (and I don't know if you do, by the way), then, to you, the story of a talking snake is true. I...

    It doesn't actually mention Satan in that passage. It states plainly that the serpent spoke. So again, what is the biology behind this? If you are claiming that a supernatural being spoke through the snake when it isn't explicitly stated in the passage, you are giving your opinion, not...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    This post surely has to settle this discussion.

    What happens after we die?

    Not sure what you mean, ChieftheChef. I was talking about how the elements (carbon, nitrogen etc) have passed from her into the soil and then into the grass. All part of the nutrient cycle. What do you mean by 'grow something in her next time'?

    Great News for the UK

    Before a general election, the sitting party should fully disclose the state of the country's finances, allowing any future party to plan accordingly. I'm not a Labour supporter, but I can understand why they did what they did. They inherited a mess that they were unaware of.

    Sorry to hear of this, Sand Dancer. Often our non-human friends are among the most significant ones we have.

    What happens after we die?

    This is it exactly. Life goes on. We're all part of the cycle. Nine years ago, I buried my dog on the hill behind my house. Spouting from her grave is the most luxuriant growth of grass. She is part of that. The components that were her now give life to something else.

    What happens after we die?

    We return the elements from which we are made back to the Earth. In terms of an afterlife or our consciousness continuing in some way, then no. Obviously I can't say that with 100% certainty, but that's my view based on the lack of any evidence. If there is some form of afterlife /...

    A question for the creationists: How can a snake talk? Genesis 3 outlines a dialogue between a snake and a human. Given that we know that snakes do not possess the brain function nor the vocal apparatus that allows speech and its comprehension, how was that conversation possible?

    30,000 feet of water?????

    Yes. Through osmoregulation, marine fish are adapted to a specific salinity in their habitat. A sudden influx of fresh water would rapidly upset that regulation, causing their cells to take in too much water and burst.

    30,000 feet of water?????

    Maybe research why the boundaries of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are moving apart, giving rise to Iceland? It's been monitored for years.
