Extraterrestrial Life?
No verified form of life which originated outside of earth has ever
been observed. If life evolved on earth, one would expect that the
elaborate experiments sent to the Moon and Mars might have detected at
least simple forms of life (such as microbes) that differ in some
respects from life on earth (a).
Many people, including Carl Sagan, predicted the Viking landers would
find life on Mars. They reasoned that because life evolved on Earth,
some form of life must have evolved on Mars. That prediction proved to
be false. The arms of the Viking 1 Lander sampled Martian soil.
Sophisticated tests on those samples did not find even a trace of
life.
a. The widely publicized claims, made by NASA in 1996, to have found
fossilized life in a meteorite from Mars are now largely dismissed.
[See Richard A. Kerr, “Requiem for Life on Mars? Support for Microbes
Fades,” Science, Vol. 282, 20 November 1998, pp. 1398–1400.]

Altruism 2
If evolution were correct, selfish behavior should have completely
eliminated unselfish behavior (c). Furthermore, cheating and
aggression should have “weeded out” cooperation. Altruism contradicts
evolution (d).
c. “Ultimately, moral guidelines determine an essential part of
economic life. How could such forms of social behavior evolve? This is
a central question for Darwinian theory. The prevalence of altruistic
acts—providing benefits to a recipient at a cost to the donor—can seem
hard to reconcile with the idea of the selfish gene, the notion that
evolution at its base acts solely to promote genes that are most adept
at engineering their own proliferation. Benefits and costs are
measured in terms of the ultimate biological currency—reproductive
success. Genes that reduce this success are unlikely to spread in a
population.” Karl Sigmund et al., “The Economics of Fair Play,”
Scientific American, Vol. 286, January 2002, p. 87.

Guidelines on uk.* Newsgroup Names
This document is intended to be a primer for use by those wishing to
create new NetNews (Usenet) newsgroups in uk.*, the specific hierarchy
for the UK which is managed by committee@ usenet.org.uk, & for which
uk.net.news.config is the appropriate place to discuss new newsgroups.
It has been adapted from the document "Guidelines on Usenet Newsgroup
Names" originally written by David.W.Wright@ bnr.co.uk.
Netnews news group names are structured, hierarchical, taxonomic but not
definitive. They are intended to help users find what they want and news
administrators manage their systems, to the benefit of their users. By
understanding each of these concepts, you can understand how to select
suitable names for new news groups.

Altruism 1
Humans and many animals will endanger or even sacrifice their lives to
save another—sometimes the life of another species (a). Natural
selection, which evolutionists say selects individual characteristics,
should rapidly eliminate altruistic (self-sacrificing) “individuals.”
How could such risky, costly behavior ever be inherited? Its
possession tends to prevent the altruistic “individual” from passing
on its genes for altruism (b)?
a. “... the existence of altruism between different species—which is
not uncommon—remains an obstinate enigma.” Taylor, p. 225.
Some inherited behavior is lethal to the animal but beneficial to
unrelated species. For example, dolphins sometimes protect humans from
deadly sharks. Many animals (goats, lambs, rabbits, horses, frogs,
toads) scream when a predator discovers them. This increases their
exposure but warns other species.
