I don't know about alcohol, but all you need to do is get a whiff of bacon cooking to know it's pretty much the greatest thing since the first of Ever. Not letting you stuff your face with bacon and then not letting you drown that sorrow with some alcohol is proof that god is downright mean.
"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."
