Imagine the entire human united with a purpose, something men have lusted for sense ancient times. There purpose to build the greatest tower ever known. It must have been beautiful. But instead of seeing beauty, ingenuity, skill, and the blood, sweat, and tears of the men building it he sees fit too take it away, why? Because he feels threatened that humanity too may be gods some day. Pathetic
...and then he spends the next X thousand years waiting for humanity to unite behind a common purpose.
"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."
