Quote:Orange County deputies say the teen put her semiautomatic .40-caliber handgun on a coffee table before going to take a nap.
I keep thinking that the rest of that sentence should read "...after gunning down the band of roving ninjas that were terrorizing the town."
"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."
