From my understanding, carbon dating is based on the assumption that all life forms (while still alive) have a certain ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12. What happens if somehow that life form is deprived of carbon 14 entirely? Would it be able to survive? Would there be any health effects at all? What would that mean for carbon dating?

I've been wondering about butterflies lately. Evolutionarily speaking, I understand that mutations cause different forms which may be more suitable for adaption. Some variations are more successful than others and those genes that caused the advantage can be passed on to the next generation. This is how different finches have differently shaped beaks and giraffes are somehow related to horses.
But with butterflies, I don't know how such a rapid change in form could evolutionarily arise. A baby chimp, fish, hippo, etc. looks like a miniature version of an adult of the species. But butterflies and moths go through a chysalis stage at the middle of their lifecycle which involves a specially specific constructed enviroment to develop into a completely different form (unlike tadpoles). How could genes for not one but two forms (catapillar and winged butterfly) be passed on? How does evolution explain this?
I give a very warm and kind thanks to the entomologist, lepidopterist or evolutionary biologist who answers this.

I think that maybe there was enough energy at that moment in history that a new type of matter came to be, a matter that was alive and able to recreate itself in the bundled up form of dna. In a way that no other matter can. Hmmmmmm.......There is so much energy packed into it.....any ideas?

Looks like bursts of light and sometimes millions of stars flying by. Does everyone see this? Was listening to some commentary on AM radio about astronauts getting something similar because of some sort of cosmic rays and that being submersed in water would stop the rays....but I'm not anstonaut...so what gives? Although I did stare at the sun a few times when I was a kid....
