    Is that German for "The, thread. The"?

    I don't believe in evolution or creationism.

    Why? Because we've gone from these guys...

    And I'll reiterate, facts in science are always subject to change.

    Yes, science depends on, and adapts to, new evidence. And does so quite happily.

    Faith, on the other hand, brooks no disagreement and remains impervious to evidence - which is why we don't teach it in science class.

    Like everything in the universe, science evolves. In fact, it seems like the only thing that doesn't evolve is religion.

    At least scientists admit when they don't know something, rather than insisting they do know it but can't prove it because, "Science moves in mysterious ways."

    Silly Armchair.

    Gay marriage killed the dinosaurs. Everyone knows that.

    The automobile, the aircraft, indoor plumbing, central heat and air, electricity. All these things were not here in the garden during the "creation" of man. However, if you can accept for a moment that things evolve, that we are within a model that is FOREVER changing, then all these things are possible.
    Without "science", and I put quotes around it because everything to me is a science, there is nothing but man dead in the mud from a myriad of things (disease, other animals, natural disasters, etc...).
    I am not religious, I abandoned that part of me long ago, but it is not hard to accept that if something "created" everything we see, then evolution is a key part to that.
    If you believe what was written, by man, that we are all the offspring of two people, then everything that is being rallied against (gay marriage, incest, etc..) is really just silly.
    I however, would like to think that I am not related in any way to my wife and that we have a hand in some way of making the world a better place with the generation that we create who will help shape the next "step" in human evolution.
    Remember, evolution doesn't mean a third arm or no pinky toe. Evolution is just the progression of the species to survive in the environment around them.

    The flaw in your theory, Precious Roy, is that indoor plumbing has not evolved. These new low-flow toilets can barely handle a square of Charmin.

    So I think you are going to have to rethink everything that you think you know.

    Ace, are you saying that toilets are set to stun, when they should be set to kill. [/Zap Brannagan]
