So if he didn't think that dousing someone with a flammable fluid and lighting them on fire might kill them, he gets a slap on the wrist. No doubt the next bigoted mouth-breather will think twice before trying to kill a homosexual, seeing as he might face a staggering 42 months in prison.
"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."
