Is there a word that means "Numerology, except done with letters"? Maybe Alphabetics? Can I coin that, if not? .

Your fantastical speculations are becoming more desparate, as well as ascending the heights of hilarity. If there were rings of water/ice revolving around the Earth, wouldn't someone maybe have seen them? I cannot begin to decipher this post -- please explain. .

WHAT??!! :D :D Sorry for the lateness, and the immaturity. I just couldn't let tha t go. .

This is the product of a persistant streak of anti-intellectualism which runs through our culture. AN's assertion is really a cry for help IMO. Even in the dark Ages we didn't believe this, did we? .

Impossible. Impossible. No human could be this uninformed. If this is for real it's no longer funny; if it's a parody, it is brilliant! .

There are many virologists who would take issue with this statement. .

:doh:

Of course she did not come from a monkey. Evolution has never said that; it says that humans and modern apes have a common ancestor. Did you correct her on this point? .

All indications are that Americanism is virulent and is, in fact, spreading across the globe! :)

Americanism is a psychological condition characterized by an all-pervasive optimism and an inability to learn Geography or foreign languages. The condition invariably leads to obesity and shopping at Walmart. :) .

I would appear that "behaving like animals" could mean any number of things. There are countless examples of social animals exhibiting cooperation and sacrifice for the "greater good" of the group. .

I've heard/read several times from Creationists that the Thoery of Evolution has caused or will eventually cause a decline in social morality. If we could forego for this thread the myriad scientific discussions; could someone explain this notion? Where is this connection between evolution and...

Escaped Earth's gravity?? Did you even read the post? H2 and helium were lost to space because Earth's gravity could not hold these lighter gases, yes. But weren't you talking about methane and ammonia? .

As has been mentioned more than once before, the human population growth rate is not constant. .

:D :D

For an omnipotent being, can the concepts of ease and difficulty have any meaning? If you're going to claim a miracle, make it a miracle; why would gravity need to be altered in order to make things "easier" for God? That being said, Nathan Poe's question still stands. How could a "wind"...

I voted "Other" because according to the article the extra arm is the result of the conjoined twin process, and not a mutation. So this would have nothing, really, to do with evolution. Also, science has never held that humanity has stopped evolving. .
