Darwin@Home. It's like Seti crossbred with tamagotchis, using your computer to simulate evolution. The stated goal exciting, if it's achievable. Anyone interested in playing God?

Playing god?

That seems an odd way to describe evolution-simulations... I don't really see a huge need for this project. Evolution as a hypothesis is extremely well proven.

Is the idea of this to simulate real biological evolution, or to see if the principle can be applied to computer software in such a way that a computer program might change iself to be more useful and sucessful?
