Evolution is a fact, or more accurately, a collection of facts that correlate with precision used to form an over-arching theory (not hypothesis) that is backed up by vast empirical evidence and numerous attempts to disprove it. Creationists don't like it because it challenges the first source they heard and don't like to re-evaluate things for their own.

Some christians don't like it because it pretty much eliminates all telological arguements. Paley, Aquinas, that can all go out the window now. It would be pretty hard to be an atheist, even if one only believed in an aristotlien non-interventionist prime cause and mover; such is the strength of telological arguements when one looks at the complexity of just a single organelle, let alone an organism.

If you don't already know of it, look up the debate between Bishop Samuel Wilberforce and Thomas Huxley.

Father Ted- I'm watching the re-runs ridiculously late at night on more4, I don't know if it was ever shown in America.

Who cares? As long as she's hot. Besides, punk music is one of the most ugliest music out there.Ilived

I'd argue that punk isoften deliberately ugly. It's not supposed to be a catchy pop song you put on in the background, its raw anger that makes one want to smash stuff.

Cancer IS an infection

Cancer IS NOT an infection. Cancer isn't caused by an outside intruder, it's your own body destroying itself.

Cancers are caused by the mutation of DNA inside a cell, causing uncontrolled mitosis. No fungi.

Punk rock sold out en mass in the 90s, had all of its social conscious and its venom sucked out, then spat back in the form of blink 182. Some of the few actual punk bands to survive are the exploited and rancid. It is ironic that what so many called punk's renaissance was actually its death.

There is this music teacher at my school who's a complete psychopath. He's been suspended twice, once for throwing a keyboard at a kid, the other time it was a chair. He reglarly slams pencils on his desk so hard they snap. The really scary thing is that he has access to the school's gun supply (my school has a CCF which sometimes practices shooting).

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]Ah, I see. You're one of those wacko self proclaimed psuedo scientists. High school physics too much for you?

My personal favorite is I had a argument with some one who said the sea level wouldn't raise if the ice caps melt.. He called me a idiot for ever thinking that, so I had to explain how displacement works (on how ice is above water meaning not taking up the volume for the water to raise level, not to mention basic chemistry) and he still didn't believe me.. Are these people just uneducated or something.. really..

It's funny that he tried to tout anything from Fox News as reliable. If you're trying to look like an idiot, posting something from FOX is one hell of a way to do it.

I'm willing to bet that he's in their key demographic, i.e. people with IQs in double figures.
