    altruistic behaviour is selected for by evolution, if the cost for the altruist (C), multiplied by the grade of relatedness between the altruist and the beneficiary (r) minus the benefit (B) is bigger than zero= r*C-B>0 (Hamiltons rule)

    In general animals are moved by the omnipresent spirit of God. God is Love, and Love maintains existence, so many animals are gently taking care of their offsprings and are to protect themselves and their offsprings. However, Love is also self-sacrificing, so many animals, without being aware of it, are self-sacrificing when they serve as food to their predators. Glory to Love, glory to the Father and the Son!

    In general you are talking out of a hole in your ass.
    animals are moved by the omnipresent spirit of instinct, environment and experience.

    How can’t you see GOD in this film?
    Is it possible to do theirselves. Only idiots believe in that.

    very fragile and cute

    @P01029 in science theories are above laws. gravity is a theory too.

  10. P01029 says:

    @vealicle1 actually no. Laws are PROVEN already. Theories are still unproven.

  11. vealicle1 says:

    @P01029 you’re confusing the scientific definitions of hypothesis versus theory. It’s a very common creationist mistake. Actually, even “laws” in science can be disproved. Theories on the other hand are often made up of several different laws or bodies of collected data, and are used as an accurate model to explain phenomena. If the underlying data or law supporting the theory is proven false, than the theory is considered invalid.

  12. vealicle1 says:

    @P01029 The theory of gravity, the theory of general relativity, and the theory of evolution have all withstood falsification so far. Evolution is considered just as valid scientifically as the theory gravity. Of course, that is not to say that evolution or gravity cannot be disproved, but in science nothing s ever proven, only strongly supported by the empirical evidence available.

  13. P01029 says:

    @vealicle1 Yes and these strongly supported theories are called Laws.

  14. vealicle1 says:

    @P01029 wrong.

  15. P01029 says:

    @vealicle1 Obviously someone failed their sciences :) and by someone I meant you.

  16. vealicle1 says:

    @P01029 wrong again, and not a very clever retort. I could be wrong, but I’m gonna wager you may have been home schooled by a parent lacking scientific qualifications or just went to a school with a very poor science curriculum.

  17. P01029 says:

    @vealicle1 extremely wrong. Try honored engineering science at UofT

  18. P01029 says:

    @vealicle1 and btw, this is getting realli pathetic. Go google or check a dictionary for the definition of Laws and Theories and it will all become clear to you. I will not use any further energy in explaining to a clueless and stubborn moron. Goodbye.

  19. vealicle1 says:

    A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a hypothesis.

    In general, both a scientific theory and a scientific law are accepted to be true by the scientific community as a whole. Both are used to make predictions of events. Both are used to advance technology.

  20. vealicle1 says:

    In fact, some laws, such as the law of gravity, can also be theories when taken more generally. The law of gravity is expressed as a single mathematical expression and is presumed to be true all over the universe and all through time. Without such an assumption, we can do no science based on gravity’s effects. But from the law, we derived the theory of gravity which describes how gravity works,what causes it, and how it behaves.

  21. vealicle1 says:

    We also use that to develop another theory, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, in which gravity plays a crucial role. The basic law is intact, but the theory expands it to include various and complex situations involving space and time.

    The biggest difference between a law and a theory is that a theory is much more complex and dynamic. A law describes a single action, whereas a theory explains an entire group of related phenomena.

    Oh, this is fascinating and the Narrator is charming.
    What a Class video as well as educational.
    KUDOS!

  23. P01029 says:

    @vealicle1 again, please look up the definition b4 talking to me or better yet, not talk to me because I find it really pointless to explain to a person who is very stubborn and unwilling to learn. Please, if you really don’t want to face the facts then stop responding cuz it’s a waste of both of our time.
