Quote:The son of one resident is suing the East Neck Nursing Centre in West Babylon, Long Island, claiming his highly religious mother was “violated” by the striptease performance.Sounds as if he has that backwards.
Franklin Youngblood said in court papers that he visited his mother, Bernice, in January and was shocked to find a photograph of her stuffing dollar bills into a dancer’s briefs.
"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."
