thread_title: Combining biology & computers

message: In its present form this article makes a very bad usage of the term genetic code. The genetic codes of humans, monkeys, rats and many other very distantly related living organisms are all absolutely identical. What the well intentioned editors wanted to mean instead of genetic code was probably genome. Please correct if I am right, and please explain if I am wrong. -- Sophos II (talk) 23:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate usage of ''[[genetic code]]'' 

message: The only thing that the recent additions and refactoring lost was the discussion of how individual experience is not encoded in the genome.  I think that it's important for the article to cover this, because it's one of the things that people have thought about genetic memory, but that a goodly number of sources explicitly address in order to contradict.  It probably fits best in the discussion of paraspychology, inasmuch as the weak sources that I found that propound the view are generally non-experts writing in fields relating to parapsychology.One source,  page 94, propounds the view that the genome encodes experience on the grounds that "too many people whose intelligence I respect have given it credence".  But there are plenty of sources with better credentials and better research rebutting this position, including  pages 136–138 and Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience page 433, indicating that the view that genetic memory does not encode experience should be presented as the mainstream view.The article should definitely cover the debate in more detail, as it did before.

replies: text: If you feel it is important to add it back in and/or give it more weight, please feel free to do so. I was trying to shorten a bit and cutting things out that I thought were redundant, but I'm no expert on the psychology/parapsychology sections. - tameeria (talk) 03:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
