"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."

Trust me I'll notice.

Interesting. . . . It requires you to say you have read the information sheet about the study but does not provide a link to it. Never seen anything like that before.

Thanks for letting me know. But funny that you have to when it's a quote from someone else.

So Lot and his slutty daughters are told to get out of town in a hurry and they run for their lives. But the boozers manage to carry gallons of wine on their way to the love den while the town is getting vaporized and the wife is getting salted. Based on their actions they slit her throat as soon as they got out of town.
