BBC - How Do We Know Evolution is Really Happening?

Post by klr » Tue Aug 04, 2015 11:30 pm

A long article, and a very good read, even if little is new:

God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

Am I the only one who expects that Clinton Huxley to look just like the guy in his avatar?
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Not only a multicellular organism, but a self aware sentient one with a multitude of specific adaptations, many completely unique in the animal kingdom
