Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly

Posted by Zonk on from the hoverbots-to-follow dept.

corbettw writes "Researchers at CalTech have discovered how bees fly, putting one more nail in the coffin of Intelligent Design. From the article: 'People in the ID community have said that we don't even know how bees fly ... We were finally able to put this one to rest. We do have the tools to understand bee flight and we can use science to understand the world around us.'"

  1. This has nothing to do with ID by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ID people: We must be right because you can't explain everything.
    Evolution People: Wait a sec, we figured something else out, you are now wrong.
    Is it just me or does this have nothing to do with any scientific arguement?

    You have asserted that "[t]he various theories of the evolutionary process have been proven wrong time and time again."

    OK. Kindly name those theories, who disproved them and in what peer-reviewed journal their work appeared.

    Thank you.

    Evidence please.

    The Bible.

    You've made the claim - under formal debate standards, it is now your job to uphold it. If you fail, it might seem to be implied that you can't do it.

    I have asserted that it is impossible to reconcile the "facts" presented there.
    Were it possible, it would fall upon you to do so.
    It should be as easy as pie. After all, a perfect loving god put it there for you.

    I'll even formalise it for you:

    Read Matt 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21, Acts 1:3-12 I Corinthians 15:3-8

    Now, write a simple, consistent, chronological narrative of that one day *without ommitting one single biblical detail*

    Sounds easy enough, after all, it's the one day upon which the entire religion completely relies.

    knock yourself out, but you will fail it. utterly.
