Nature's Laws

[ignoramus]

If my agnostic leanings mean I have to give up the "atheist" moniker, perhaps I'll coin my own.  Put me down as an "a-give-a-shit'ist".

I . like it!

I wonder what exactly people think "science" gets out of proposing evolution if it was false? It's not like we all pay a Darwin tax. Is it really just the thought that science wants to piss off religion? What a dim, childish science that would be.

Great point, robvalue.  And I agree with you that religion is very often the problem.  In Galileo's time, the Catholic church was apparently very threatened by science.  

And we ALL know what the church does when it gets threatened! (Who's got the matches).
In fact, our friend Nic Copernicus waited till he was on his death bed before releasing his greatest work, namely 
proving that the earth was not in fact the centre  of the universe.
(This is said to be one of the greatest blows to the ego of mankind.)
