"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."

It all seems very vague and I wonder if anybody here can clarify its origins. Cheers. Men like to have sex with women, men are physically stronger than women. If men can control women, they will. Obvious answer is obvious.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. |
