I guess we'll have to wait and see. You will wait for those signs and portents, and I will be curious to see which events you decide are those signs, and how you interpret them to fit. In any case, is there a general timeline here for when this all happens? What I mean is, how long before you admit that Obama wasn't the anti-christ and you start skimming the headlines for the next best candidate?
"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."
