FALSE. Evolution is both fact and theory. It is a fact that species have evolved. Natural selection is the proposed theory that explains how.

No, he is not. Evolution is a fact.

Good for him.

Homeschool genius.

It is a FACT that no one who denies evolution will ever discover a cure to AIDS or cancer for the same reason that no one who denies the earth revolves around the sun will ever make new astronomical discoveries. You cannot understand biology without understanding evolution just as you can't understand astronomy…

1) The *sin* of gluttony requires self awareness. Animals cannot eat to excess because they have no concept of excess because excess means "more than I ought to". Which is a moral concept and something animals cannot contemplate. Animals do not have morality. They have behavior and nothing more.

Animals are not capable of gluttony. That would require self awareness. This pike is only guilty of an error in judging the size of the other fish.

It isn't any crazier than a lot of other roadside attractions.

The couple are ringers and the French bread was bent at a right angle to the camera and hidden by his left hand. The croissant scrunched up and palmed.

Velcro is a wonderful thing isn't it?

Wikipedia is more accurate than the encyclopedia. It's a good place to begin and has actual references. Though I rarely need to go beyond it because most people on the internet are not interested in facts or rational debate. They want to bully others or they have a political blindspot on their pet issue like you do.…

"he didn't even discover the structure of DNA" — FALSE. Watson made use of unpublished data by Franklin and it was valuable information but the discovery was his and Crick's.

"While I'm not going to accuse you of placing yourself anywhere near Watson's butt"

Searle's Chinese Room argument proved that strong AI is untenable 30 years ago. Looks like Dennet, who has debated with Searle for years, is finally admitting defeat.

"Accusing cancer researchers of being lazy is an ad hominem attack." — FALSE. That's a personal attack, not an ad hom.

It's called the ad hominem fallacy for a reason.

"Watson is a physical chemist"

"Research backs him up. A number of studies have shown that taking antioxidants such as vitamin E do not reduce the risk of cancer but can actually increase it, and can even shorten life. But drugs that block antioxidants - "anti-antioxidants" - might make even existing cancer drugs more effective."

The IT Crowd was brilliant and drop dead hilarious. The Big Bang Theory is tedious drek. Why? Why are British geek/nerd comedies funny and American ones dreadful?

I never said they couldn't.
