I mean.... who cares?

As with everything else, there is the good and the bad. 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Quote:Men, like babies, love breasts.
Well, they certainly reduce me to a drooling, infantile state.
"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould

And I sure hope that you don't get your primary nutrition from human breasts!

Only the finest cambodian breastmilk.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well, there is a huge difference between applied science (science to create new things, develop drugs, etc.) and science for the sake of knowledge. The second is also quite important, think about it this way - what use is a little baby? I mean they cry, they piss everywhere and they don't understand what you're saying. Thing is, once you know how stuff works you can create thing based on it.

Uh, we don't need science to show that babies turn into adults.

Um, don't tastes in body shape change with culture? During the 1920's, the rail shape (flat chested, skinny) was in style.
Agreed Min, sometimes the best answer is why ask why.
