Mule Gives Birth
!splut writes "Thumbing it's nose as science, a Moroccan mule has given birth. Mules, hybrids between horse and donkey, are normally infertile, due to differences between the number and structure of horse and donkey chromosomes. Nevertheless, for reasons not well understood, fertile mules do occur, infrequently, with some 60 documented live births since 1527."
OK, let's get one thing straight. I am a christian, and I believe many things that folks here on slashdot would likely have me strung up for.
The point here, however, is that when folks that have an agenda immediately jump on something that MIGHT be remotely related, they tend to make themselves look like the donkeys in this story when they are proven wrong.
Slightly longer version -- Science is still growing and changing every day. I doubt that there are many (if any) scientists out there that say that science has all the answers today, or that science ever will. Kinda like the old expression -- "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know".
If you want to push a creationist agenda, don't jump like an idiot. Wait, think, and have logical and intelligent conversations. There are plenty of paradoxes and uncertainties in christianity too, let's not forget that the point is that humans are imperfect and fallable.
What you're saying amounts to people that used to bash Christopher Columbus for believing the world is round. "Oh look, another ship dropped off the face of the earth, never to return. You idiot. God designed the world to be flat, it's obvious! Maybe he's trying to tell you something by never having ships return." That, or something like "You're not supposed to fly, if so, God would have given you wings."
Again, I am a Christian, but I believe that as humans we are pretty darn smart, and can figure out most things. Don't sell science short just because it doesn't have the answer you want TODAY.
