In 2004, this article was nominated for deletion. The discussion never reached a conclusion and was never properly closed. I have moved that discussion to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Unsolved problems in biology. Rossami (talk) 20:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have moved the above box here: editorial info and instructions should be kept to a minimum within the article namespace. Joe D (t) 05:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what the purpose of that article is. Is it to show biology doesn't have all the answers? I think everyone knows that. Besides not seeing a point, I don't agree with half the things in it. I think half the "unsolved problems" have been "solved" as anything is ever solved (for example the "Why, after rapid diversification, do microorganisms remain unchanged for millions of years?" question. That just reeks of complete misunderstanding of evolution). The other half are things that will NEVER be solved, and belong in the philosophy section or something. I mean, everyone knows science can't answer philosophical questions, and half the questions there are just that-philosophical. Therefore having them in a SCIENCE section is just misrepresenting what science can/can't answer. I think this lowers the quality of wikipedia.--TheAlphaWolf 03:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

This comment by TheAlphaWolf is inflammatory and poorly conceived. The purpose of this article is to promote broader thinking about base questions in Biology. The reason for hard questions being in here is for people with agile minds to approach these problems, and give the rest of us with wooden brains a hope of hearing an answer one day. The reason inaccuracies are in there is because noone taken time to discuss and weed them out. - User:Denger

[edit] Consciousness

Experiments made by neural nets has shown that consciousness is achieved by adding a constant random noise in the signaling. The question "What is it?" should hence be answered, right? Lord Metroid 18:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Get it off the unsolved problems list. The source is known to be deliberately sloppyness in the developing B cell's resplicing of the anitbody gene. Source: Behe's Darwins Black Box
