Feel free to believe, or disbelieve, or snark about, whatever you like.
I'm an engineer. We build things that work or don't work at customer sites, so we get a lot of feedback about our thinking.
I know the moon rocket was real, because I designed stuff on the S1B booster stage.
Are you an astrogeologist? Or a cheesemaker? What experiments have /you/ done here?
Tom's example is just as "valid" as your "ideas" in the realm of biology.
People who claim "anything is possible until proved otherwise" or "nothing is impossible until you've tried it" are wrong. Just like people who claim "there's no such thing as a silly idea" or "we don't know the real answer, so any idea is equally valid".
Options remain open, but that doesn't mean ideas can't be judged for realism.
Do class credits from a well-known developmental biologist count? Odd question.
Yeah, lots of odd questions, what's the point?
Brainstorming is a means to an end. It serves my ends to know a broad range of ideas, but also to know the best ones.
It's a solution for groupthink deficiencies, not individual mentation. You're degrading it into a metaphor: that's not the best use of the idea.
At 153 postings in the thread, mostly calling one another various kinds of drooling idiot, the information transfer rate long since having approached zero, I would submit that you'all have reached limit cycle, and could as well stop.

John Larkin experiences any post which doesn't flatter him as an insult. He seems to have trained his collaborators into flattering him more or less nonstop, and is addicted to the flattery. His withdrawal symptoms do include claims that nobody else designs electronics - he flatters himself that he does.
And the "explanations" have all been just as convincing as most of your explanations.
The problem here is that your ideas aren't in the least improbable. Most of them come up at regular intervals in intelligent design propaganda which is probably where you find them. You are a gullible twit, so you don't recognise the propaganda as propaganda, and take it more seriously than it deserves.
LOL! Hey SNIPPERMAN, you PROVED MY POINT for me!!!!!!!!
Flyguy hasn't bothered to tell us which point he thinks he made, or how my response "proved" that point. That sort of comment might have had some substance, but he prefers the easier route of claiming that that he has "won" without going to the trouble of being specific about how.
His "reading comprehension" does seem to be specialised in misunderstanding what he reads in ways that leave him convinced that what he has read support his moronic points of view. Actual comprehension would get in the way of that.
