well, I mean as long as we all can agree that babies are delivered by storks, dinosaurs roamed the earth with humans, like in the Flintstones, the world is flat, and the Earth is the center of the universe, then no worries you know?
I go off topic on purpose.

lol what

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics

you guys do read stuff besides Animorphs, right?
last I checked that was made by human's knowledge of genetics, and last I checked human knowledge of genetics did not include the morphing technology or the frolis maneuver. how do you know the morphing technology can't/doesn't manipulate DNA so genetics do work like that...

And that Earth is only 6,000 years old.

Actually, I do believe that the earth is less than 10,000 years old...

And anyway, I agree that "in world" the Andalites were far ahead of humans on almost every scientific level. We got basic math and science stuff wrong, according to Ax, so why not the genetic stuff too?

Because it's said at least once in every single book that the morphing technology uses DNA, not phenotype, to function. So if you're melding two strands of DNA, not just two Andalites, then there are a nearly infinite number of ways for those two strands to merge. There is science there, and you can't just ignore it because the fiction is currently impossible. It is called science fiction for a reason.

You have a sense of humor about yourself -- something "You-Know-Who" never did . . . and you've never threatened to shut us down. . . . So, yeah, I was a bit harsh. But I posted that statement as a precaution.

that may be the case but that doesn't change the amount of times I've slapped myself in the forehead reading this thread.

openly, fine, but internally I'm sticking to "I'm right and they're so, so wrong"

We all do, jen.  We all do.

Well, except for me.  I've been feeling indifferent about this subject.
