It is a poker game being played with an imaginary deck of cards, all five players claiming a royal flush after the imaginary deal and each calling the others a liar since the probability of a royal flush is so low AND none willing to show their imaginary winning hand.
...and they'll threaten to torture and murder anyone who demeans their royal flush, even though their royal flush is above such petty things because it's made of love and distilled happiness.
Or as they would put it, "Don't fuck with the Flush!!!"
"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."
