Imagine getting your mind and body blown away while you are hopped up on as much adrenaline as your poor little kidneys can pump out? That might just birth a whole new universe!
(Also, a pox on the first person to point out that the kidneys do not produce adrenaline, because fuck you-- that was a funny line.)
"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."
