  • Frosted Mini-Rant

    What I find insanely annoying about many aspects of evolutionary theory is the total lack of actual science. Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions! What has been put forth as truth cannot be tested or reproduced so it's NOT SCIENCE but hell if it won't be treated as fact! There are creatures purported to have lived millions of years ago that they have no more than the jaw, the arm, or torso of and yet somehow they doctor up a picture and begin explaining how it lived. This is then presented as reality without acknowledgment that they've got a bit of bone that they fantasize about - that and the grant money they're going to get for finding a "missing link."

    The missing link is in your fucking logic.

    *fumes*

  • I kind of agree with you here...it's funny how little we ACTUALLY KNOW about much of anything...and yet we accept so much theory as actual fact.

    Love your title, by the way.

  • oh, just learn how to write grant applications !

  • Mind if I inquire what provoked the frosted mini-rant?

  • Science makes it real, you see, science = magic.

  • Oh don't you know, only the ignorant ask such questions

  • Missing link - logic.  ROFL  That's about it.   Nobody will ever be able to prove to me that scientific dating is accurate.

  • Great rant! ;)

  • ryc: well, i don't know that i feel prepared for a full fledged debate, but, I feel I should defend my science (I do like me some science). What about carbon dating? The isotope of carbon 13 has a measurable half-life. By measuring the amount of C-13 contained within an organic compound, you can determine the approximate age of that compound. So, the bits of bone and what not, sure, there is some fantasy and imagination involved with what the creatures actually looked like, but, I would tend to believe that the scientists know about when the creatures walked on this earth.

    Again, not really feeling up for a debate. But I will bow out gracefully if your response takes this up a notch. Please do not be offended if I respond to your response with a handshake and a quiet exit stage right. Though, please do feel free to respond however you feel is appropriate.

  • Excellent observation.

    RYC-It was a paper for Hargis. His office is more of a black hole than Ames's stomach.
    ^_^ Squishy sidekicks who miss crazy werewolves with insane plans.

  • Agreed!
