Do plants perform any functions that animals with brains perform? Can they walk by choice? Can they eat by choice? Can they see? Can they hear? Can they taste? Communicate with each other?

What's your point?
 
Ok...lets start from the beginning...How did the complete solar system develop? Or how did it start??..A big Bang?...maby...Who started it?
 
OK, so we have completed race, finished with religion and are moving on to evolution now. Man, all of this in one day and without a single forumite being banned - what a mature bunch we must be :D

Impossible to know what happened before the big bang which is no longer a theory but a fact. However science makes much more sense to me than a bizarre book about a guy claiming to be the saviour of man and the son of a god nobody has ever seen, with stories based on events, myths and legends taken from numerous religious books that came before it etc etc.

BTW - what came before God?

lol...its always good to talk **** and no one is breaking bars...No one can actually PROOF religion, but its nice talking about it...Same way as no one can prove its AIR that keeps me alive :)
 
I'll willingly answer any further questions provided it's in the right section. Most of these have already been answered before, so a simple search (or even browse through the PD section) wouldn't hurt. I feel bad that this thread has not just been derailed, but it's become a total train wreck :(

Plants communicate, no question.
Trees, when eaten by animals secretes tannin. It doesn't taste any different to a kudu, but the tannin preventes it from being digested by the kudu.
When a kudu eats the leaves of a tree they normally travel large distances and eat from as many trees as possible.
The reason: The moment a tree leaf gets eaten, all the trees in the vicinity starts secreting tannin.

True...but science can only go as far as the human brain can think...ie, take Jules Verne...He talked in his books about submirines, going to the moon etc and everyone thought he's crazy :)

No, never been on a lifeboat before. How few are there? Tried googling for it but couldnt find any research on the topic.

Ok...What ignited your "brain" to exist?...or, how did it happen that you have a brain?...or better still..Plants live...where are THEIR brains? :)

Who knows? Some things we will never know (in our lifetime at least).

A lot is possible over billions of years in an atmosphere able to support our life form.

And how far is that? Is it limited? Remember, we also thoght that the earth was flat and was at the centre of the universe. Those who thought oherwise were ridiculed. Well science proved this right and I see the same happening to religion at some point, but not in the ner future.
