Maybe you can tell me this... does the fossil record seem to indicate that there were a lot of human variations milling around until Boom! they all went extinct, or does it look like a long, gradual process? Or do we simply don't have enough evidence to make the call?
I would have to say it is two factors:
1) More evidence is certainly needed. This is
a complex puzzle and we really only have
relatively few pieces
I wanted to get my girlfriend a nice ring, but at the time I was a student and had no money.
I looked at the jewelry stores and for what I could afford, she could have a diamon splinter. It was really embarrassing. I thought about how silly she would feel showing this little piece of nothing to her friends and family. I think in this case size DOES matter:)
So, for the same amount of money, I bought her this HUGE honking Cubic Zerc. Looks real nice.
I told her upfront it was fake (I'm not going to lie to HER!!) She just doesn't have to tell people herself. In the end it didn't really matter. She's not the type to show off anything anyway, but it made me feel better. That's the big lie. That I should feel like a chump because my wife-to-be can't flash some big rock? F*&k that!
Now that I have a job and some money (we've been married for 8 years now) I don't think either one of us is really all that interested in getting a real diamond. She still wears it and I still think it looks good. A rock that size would have cost a couple of G's, but I only spent a 100 bucks.
