What's the difference between a "mistake" and an "experiment" ?

I prefer to think of humans as more of a "genetic experiment" rather than a "genetic mistake". That is, I think that the mistakes were expected....

Rr6: 1a} absolute truths

Felix--Do you think humankind is capable of recognizing these?

Some human yes, others not so much. Humans come with various degrees of access to metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concept. This is obvious just from seeing some of the responses to r6 since Ive been here. Some appear to have a fair degree of access to metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concepts yet they have mental blockage to any relative truths I state, much less any absolute truths I present to them.

1} The sum of the angles, of a Euclidean triangle, is eternally 180 degrees, when base unit/unity is 360 degrees.

2} physical/energy cannot not be created nor destroyed ergo occupied space cannot be created nor destroyed.

3} We live in a finite, occupied space Universe/Uni-Verse, that,

4} is embraced by a macro-infinite non-occupied space. imho

Surely, to suggest that any part of whole is a mistake is to render whole a mistake? Is there such a thing as mistake? Is this term just an idea based on a perceived outcome? If life is Whole (complete) what need has it of experimentation? Isn't it just the human's pre occupation with particles in time that creates division - a division that is non existent except as an idea? Perhaps humans can be termed parasites as we disturb the greater organism but I don't see this as mistake. Everything interacts and causes disturbance relative to changing patterns that we call evolution. Maybe If one were devoid of ideas.....
