I figure that most sports fans have tried one or more of the sports that they follow. I played baseball, football, basketball and soccer when I was young. I follow pro football, basketball, baseball and hockey. Not nearly as closely as I used to, but I browse sports sites and watch games occasionally. I love breaking down numbers and statistics and sports provides those in abundance.
"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."
