The Seasonal Rant

RE: The Seasonal Rant
Quote:THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TAKE CHRIST
OUT OF CHRISTMAS BECAUSE IT
MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE.
If you take the Christ out of Christmas, you wind up with "mas." Which is Spanish for "more." So it's an example of "less is more."
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
