However, just because a mutation can be caused by other factors than radiation does NOT mean it wasn't caused by radiation in this case. Right?

I suppose but:

"She writes that scientists think fasciation is caused by a hormonal imbalance, though that imbalance may be triggered by a number of things: insects, diseases or physical injury to the plant. Though it can't be "fixed" once it has happened, a plant that regrows each year may come back perfectly normal after one year of fasciation. Sometimes the trait is genetic and can be passed to the next generation, but more frequently it is a one-time occurrence. And not all fasciation is bad."

   I think that the article points out that people are quick to jump to conclusions not necessarily supported by facts. The mutations of plants and declining populations would also seem to be an assumed link, it did suffer a massive tidal flood, radiation was not the only contributing factor.

sure, but ALL evolution is mutation based,...

some mutations survive and others do not,...

the causal agents are as varied as the mutations themselves,...

either you embrace mutation and the proceeding evolution,...

or you opt for a static, never changing status quo,...

which is not possible, unless you have figured out how to regulate solar activity, the expansion of the universe, the radioactive decay of the earth's core, et al,....

the fundamental forces driving evolution are unconcerned with man's existence,...

the hubris of man is to put himself before the cart,...

and then to get himself a good paying gig in a not for profit "earth advocate" NGO,...

stupid little, self serving, paradigm ignorant man,... [coffee]

been there, dun that,... the doormat to hell does not read "welcome", the doormat to hell reads "it's just business"

So  to sum up your position: Mutations are good, so we should embrace anything that causes such?!   ;)

mutations are inevitable,...

medical arts triggers mutation,...

chemical engineering triggers mutation,...

nuclear technology triggers mutation,...

any environmental change fomented by man (or otherwise) can and ofttimes will trigger mutation,...

there is always the pure, faultless option of living in caves without fire,...

anything past that carries the full Pandora's box of pros and cons,...

the lines in the sand tend to be drawn on the notion of which cons do I keep because I like the pros, and which pros do I deny to others because I do not like the cons,...

I guess my take on it is that we have to admit there are pros AND cons to everything...even the industry that has made my life such a wonderful, option-filled ride.  :)

'pert much,...

even the artists share as protagonists in the blame game,...

Dutch Boy Superfund Site

...The site covers 5.2 acres in a former industrial area and was a lead and lead-based paint manufacturing facility, which operated from 1894 to 1980....

most everybody's an artist,...

we just gravitate towards different mediums of expression and levels of accomplishment,...

didja ever review one of C. Morley's surveys?!?!?

they were beautiful, comprehensive,....dam near perfect every time,...

they keep replacing people with gigabytes and programs,...

and I can make a living at it,...

but I sure do miss the people,... [coffee]

almost forgot (sic) for beercort,...

I didn't have the pleasure of C. Morley's work, but a D. Schelb survey could bring a tear to my eye...in a good way!  :)



I think I brought a BAD tear to a few supervisors' eyes, but... ;)
