  2. Re:Crichton's State of Confusion on DDT or Malaria -- Which is Worse? · · Score: 1

    "Because a novel has some footnotes, you think everything in it must be true?"

    Just because the footnotes appear in a novel, you think them un-true?

  3. Re:It's true on DDT or Malaria -- Which is Worse? · · Score: 1

    I have a better idea - why don't you and everyone else who holds the life a some bug or animal above human lives - trade place with those people whom you are sentencing to death with your anti-DDT venom. I venture to say that once you actually witness the cost of your idiotic stance, and personally feel the unfathomable pain that is inflicted on you from malaria - you would moderate your stance some. Then again, you probably wouldn't - as there is clearly something broken inside your head if you think the life of some bug or animal is worth more than a human life.

  11. Re:Let's not forget on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    I am well aware that plate tectonics and continental drift are theories.

    I also thank you for your list of theories that bolster my original statement.

    As you did not specify which aspect of gravity and electromagnetism you were referring to, I assumed you were referring to Newton's General Law of Gravitation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_Law_of_Gravi tation/, and Gauss's Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law and Coulomb's law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law for electromagnetism.

    As for your statement "This is what happens when people attempt to pass off religion as science. Everyone gets totally messed up and forgets the basic science they learned in junior high." I'm not sure how simply pointing out the fact that Evolution, Creationism and Intelligent Design are theories equates to "passing off religion as science".

  12. Re:Let's not forget on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    Gravity and Electromagnetism are both laws, not theories.

    Evolution is not a law. It has not been entirely tested. Small independent aspects, such as Micro-Evolution, have been tested and observed in action. However, the entire process of evolution has not been tested and/or reproduced, nor can it be. Just like Intelligent Design cannot be fully tested and/or reproduced.

  13. Let's not forget on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design are all theories. They will all remain theories until they have been proven. In order for them to be proven, they must be consistently reproduced. None of them have yet been sucessfully and consistently reproduced. So until they are, they must be addressed and taught as theory, and nothing more.
