 Please just let this thread die. There is no proof of evolution, Just theories. Like the Big Bang Theory which there is no evidence of.

You know that the "law" of gravity is completely false right.  We totally got it wrong.  Our understanding of gravity is at best theoretical.  Scientists can't even tell you what gravity is: a particle, energy, a combination of the two or what.  We know that it happens, and can pretty well explain its effects, but we are still kind of in the dark as to what it actually is.

ARE YOU SAYING GRAVITY ISN'T REAL BECAUSE IT IS JUST A THEORY!!!!!1

A theory in science means that it has reached a level of consensus within the scientific community that a) no one has been able after repeated attempts to put forth evidence that disproves the theory and b) the theory has withstood many tests of its accuracy and c) it is a good predictor of future outcomes.  Being a theory in science isn't just a good thing, its a great thing.  It means the scientific community has accepted the idea almost across the board.

Just because you think you know what the word theory means does not mean that you have any idea what you are talking about.

 

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
