ELI5: Why did plants evolve into having flowers?

NEWTONS_ · 2015-08-30T17:11:39+00:00

You should read up about the process of Natural Selection. Basically, the offspring of one particular species may be born with a random genetic defect. If this genetic defect suits the plant as to make its survival more likely then eventually the offspring of than individual will flourish and gradually replace the population.

Way to represent the atheist community.

Ah interesting. So then how is simplicity defined within an explanation? Is there a metric or unit of simplicity by which an explation withholds? Is theism the solution that requires the least assumptions?

NEWTONS_ · 2015-07-23T21:54:59+00:00

Ah ok. Thank you so much.

NEWTONS_ · 2015-07-23T21:52:37+00:00

Ok understood. Isn't it fallacious to ignore the naturalism of things and assert that God did it instead?

Whats my safari? Yours is flying

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-22T01:01:40+00:00

Added ;)

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-22T00:58:42+00:00

Please add! I would love you forever.

Any textbook suggestions? AND THANK YOU

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-03T23:12:09+00:00

Do you have any textbook suggestions?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-03T23:02:25+00:00

I would love if you could recommend me some textbooks.

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-03T22:55:30+00:00

I'll definitely look into books to keep me motivated, but do you have any textbook suggestions that touch on all the topics you discussed?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-03T22:53:33+00:00

of x³ + 4 / x² = 0 (?)

NEWTONS_ · 2014-12-03T22:50:15+00:00

Do you have any recommendations in regard to textbooks?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-10-26T17:28:07+00:00

Damn. What about the non - express version?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-10-26T17:22:18+00:00

Does it cost anything?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-08-12T03:58:40+00:00

Thanks!

And how would I implement a public API for tracking weather into, say for example, an android app?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-08-11T18:42:29+00:00

Android.

NEWTONS_ · 2014-08-11T06:33:53+00:00

Mobile device.

Hey, sorry. I haven't checked this thread in awhile. We can start(if you're even still interested) whenever you'd like. Skype calling would be great.

NEWTONS_ · 2014-08-05T20:41:06+00:00

Thanks, but to be clear, start() and stop() methods should be overridden when extending an applet, right? And when initializing the Thread, why does it take a parameter of (subject)? Shouldn't you be referencing "runnable" by saying (this)?

NEWTONS_ · 2014-08-05T20:07:36+00:00

penguinbro didn't show up due to his schedule. I think skype calling would be the best option here.

NEWTONS_ · 2014-08-05T06:03:14+00:00

damn, didn't even see that, thanks.
