  1. There are obvious facts of evolution, with two excellent examples, supported by many fossils.. Eohippus to the modern horse Early primates to modern man & other modern primates. The above facts cannot be denied & Darwin-like explanations provide an excellent theory based on those facts. The reasonable way to attack Darwin-like theories is to provide an alternative explanation which seems to be a better explanation for those facts. Such an explanation would be called creationist evolution. Scientists do not consider god did it as a better explanation due to lack of evidence for the existence of god.
  2. As you push the balloon down the volume decreases & the density increases. If the water is deep enough, the density will become more than the density of water & the balloon will sink to the bottom. I do not know if earthly oceans are deep enough for this to occur. My WAG is that Earthly oceans are not deep enough SWAG (Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess) is more accurate than a WAG.
  3. I think it only applies to entangled particles. It is analogous to the following situation. A married hetero sexual couple are known to be arriving on separate airplane flights. In the absence of prior communication, the probability of the first arrival being a man is 1/2. If the first to arrive is a man, the distant spouse is immediately known to be a woman. The above analogy does not seem strange & the quantum version with entangled quantum particles might not be strange either. There are hidden variables explanations which make the situations not so strange. The problem with quantum particles is that there is reason to believe that certain properties are in some limbo state until the the particle has an effect at the classical level. The above is a dumbed down explanation of the quantum situation. If some one here is interested in a better (& perhaps somewhat confusing) explanation, I suggest using google searches or obtaining a book on Quantum Theory. I forgot to mention that information, not a particle, is teleported.
  4. Sheldrake is a wacko. His theory of Morphic Resonance is silly. The concept is that when some threshold number of members of a group learn something new, all other members will have the new knowledge. For example This is supposed to apply to humans as well as monkeys. It seems to be some special case of telepathic communication among creatures who are not telepathic.
