Honest, I like where Hollywood is going with the Biblical movies. How long before we get a version of the Ten Commandments where Moses is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and he just runs up and suplexes the shit out of the Pharaoh (played, of course, by Nick Cage)? "Fuck the plagues! I'll DDT you into the afterlife if you don't let my people go, asshole!"
"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."
