Quote:"In the emergency room they have what’s called rape kits, where a woman can get cleaned out,"
Sometimes a person says something so disgusting and so ignorant that it's difficult to believe, even for a creature as ordinarily loathsome as a congressman.
"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."
