But this is the fun of science! Science would have no purpose if it weren't for the ferreting out of the glitches and flaws in theories, fixing them and testing them to destruction all over again. We learn so little by being right in comparison to what we learn when we're wrong.
Bill O'Reily doesn't claim to be a journalist. He is a commentator. The lefties like Katie Couric who claim to be journalists are the ones should be sued. Your just sore because Air America can't make it in the free market.
Maybe Glorious Leader Barak Hussein Obama can fire him for you.
As a resident of rural Iowa, I can tell you first hand there is no "incredible environmental damage". I am no fan of hog confinements, but there just isn't enough pasture land, nor is it economical for everything to be "free range". I suspect there would be more environmental damage if everyone instantly became vegetarians too. Remember that so much corn is being grown for ethanol, the fields are nearly at capacity right now.
Meat eating causes incredible environmental damage? Controlled hunting greatly benefits the environment and causes less suffering to animals in the long run. Out here, if the white tail deer population is not controlled by hunting, they get diseases from overpopulation as well as causing human deaths from running into cars (of course PETA sees that as a plus).
The other benefit is that a lot of the deer meat is donated to food pantries to help the homeless.

Wow. Who's bludgeoning who? What the heck does the idea the human eye's response to color may have evolved over time have to do with one believing God created the universe? Not all of us religious types are dinosaur deniers you know. Religion does not have to be at odds with science. I believe that God created the material universe, ie Big Bang, and that God infused the first two humans with an immortal soul. Whether the human body developed over millions of years before the soul was created or whether it was done in an instant is of no concern. Is this any crazier than believe that matter has existed from all eternity, or that matter brought itself into existence? My faith (Catholic) teaches that belief in evolution is ok as long as the two previous points are accepted.

Wow, if only this applied to programming.
If it only applied to global warming too.

How silly this all is. Everyone knows that the moon landing was filmed at Universal Studios.

Soy also has estrogen like compounds which is not necessarily a good thing for young men to be consuming in vast quantities.

Uncanny isn't it? I evolved from an AC to a registered user.
