But it explains a lot, doesn't it.That's the great thing about how open to interpretation it is, you can reduce the examples to almost anything. Funny that they ask people in court to swear upon a Bible, just before they start offering the most convoluted explanations and laughable rationalizations in order to convince people to accept a really zany story about what happened.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
