- Just over 48 years (48 years and 14 days to be precise) elapsed between SCOTUS legalizing interracial marriage (12th June 1967) and SCOTUS legalizing gay marriage (26th June 2015).
- Exactly 12 years elapsed (to the day) between SCOTUS legalizing sodomy (26th June 2003) and SCOTUS legalizing gay marriage (26th June 2015).
- It took 11 years, 7 months, and 8 days for gay marriage to be legalized in all 50 states, starting with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision (18th November 2003) and ending with SCOTUS legalizing gay marriage in the US (26th June 2015).
Now we sit back and wait for professor to use those numbers in an equation that ends with the mark of the beast.
"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."
