Wooly mammoth ~

I read an article recently about how scientists are using genetic material from frozen bodies to try and resurrect the woolly mammoth from extinction. They're taking the genetic material and mixing it with DNA from an elephant. Sounds a lot like the Jurassic Park movies, which sounds like fun but was kinda crazy. The way those movies go humans get in trouble and then survive because T-Rex comes and eats everything.

What I keep wondering is why people so steeped in a belief in evolution would ever try to bring back something that died off.

As much as they say "trust the science" and point to scientific evidence of evolution and say that it's a "fact" it still takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution. And when they tell us to "trust the science" and then in the next breath announce a new discovery and that the science has changed completely I find it hard to put my faith in that.

The reasoning for trying to bring back the woolly mammoth is based in how well the woolly mammoth survived cold weather. The woolly mammoth is dead and gone and is not seen on planet Earth anymore except in dead bodies frozen melting glaciers. They've told us that the planet is warming for years. Their faith in warming/climate change is so strong that people are not having children and choosing to die rather than live. So if evolution led to the woolly mammoth as a species to disappear from the face of the planet why bring them back if the planet is heating up due to global warming/climate change?

The logic just doesn't compute for me. Except that it would be cool and they want to control people and outcomes

But that's a different subject.

How are you ~

I have reached an age or experience level to where I really don't like
the question "How are you?".

I still ask the question. I used to ask it a lot. I was even been made fun of how I use it at work when I greet people as they come into our workspace. I do it in a singsong way so that it makes people smile or laugh or grimace, however they feel at the moment.

But in my personal life I've gotten to a point where I don't like it at all. The people that ask me how I am really don't seem to care. If they do care they don't have time to listen to me go on and on about what I'm bothered by lately. Or if I were to say "happy" they don't believe me or don't know what to say.

I've actually found several questions in place of how are you that are much better greetings for people that I haven't seen in a while and much better checks and expressions of concern for friends or someone that I am meeting. Those questions include "What's your latest challenge?" and others.

But I tire of being asked my condition when I know that there is no interest in my condition. There is only an interest to appear polite.
