The Debate

Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan at Scopes Trial

Paramecia and amoebae like their human cohorts start facing-off at birth. The most primary level of being, instantiation of a living organism, creates an evolutionary debate. Not necessarily about the primacy of one agent over the other but in terms of natural selection. What genes will prevail? In the case of the current debate it boils down to Irish vs. German ancestries. But the science of epigenetics has shown that environment can result in gene modification. The advent of The Ice Age caused the extinction of dinosaurs,but the possibility of singularities must be accounted for in any viable biological model--as the Access Hollywood tape demonstrates. If you look at the CNN debate stage as a prototypic veldt in which two creatures will be set out to graze, you may be able to get an idea of the stakes involved in the current project.
