Sciences > Biology (Other) Is the human race evolving or devolving?: 2 of 34
This question is biological, but it is also spiritual and philosophical. In order to answer it, we would need to agree upon the definition and parameters of "evolution".

Entertainment > Characters & Performances Who would win in a lightsaber duel: Darth Vader or Darth Maul?: 1 of 16
I can't quite believe that I am going to weigh in on this issue, but since I was born in the 70's and I actually saw the "original" Star Wars in the theater, I'll give it a shot.
