I like where this topic is going with all the anecdotes and "what ifs." So guys, guys... what about the one where the wife loves golf but the husband wants to do her in the back using anal beads made from a string of golf balls... what would that do to their balance? I know that it might do a real number on her balance if she lets him do it, LOLOLOL!!! But I mean like metaphysically?
"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."
