    Why I don't believe in evolution...

    Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, O. keta, etc.) are born, sexually mature, spawn only once and then immediately die. The rest of the monophyletic group that salmon belong to, including anadromous trout (e.g. Oncorhynchus mykiss) which compete for the same resources, all spawn multiple times...

    Over 16,000,000 who voted for Biden regret it.

    Why I don't believe in evolution...

    I didn't read through this whole thread, especially once it started diving off topic, but there are two problems with evolution that make me see it as a theory which addresses many of the observable facts but not all of them: The first is the life cycle of salmon.

We've come a long way in the past 30 years in our ability to manipulate the environment around us. My 78 year old mother so far...

    3 days smoke free

    You can do it. Just imagine yourself 30 years from now, in a wheelchair, tied to an oxygen tank, dependent on others for most of your basic needs - Nobody wants to be "Old and In the Way" :D P.S. Love the avatar

    How I stay sober

    Alcoholics Anonymous has its roots in Christianity - whether the individual members of the fellowship do or not. I have found after 25 years that "getting delivered" isn't easy but my part has consisted almost entirely of: Seeking Him, Seeking and acknowledging the sin in my own life, and most...
