[SexSteakSoda]

Republicans are so full of shit. They don't compromise for anything, they're strictly out of their agenda.

@tutsiwitchking thats essentially how science works, we change our theories to stay concordant with reality when new evidence pops up. how do we figure out how somethng works if we dont adapt our thinking to new information? you say that like it gives evolution less credibility.

Remember, gravity is also a changeable fact, a theory. So please, if you dont take evolution, then what theory do you have in its place? and do you have an alternate theory to gravity?

[tutsiwitchking]

@BlackMetalWarewolf dynamic is just another word for changable, so evolution is a changable fact.

[BlackMetalWarewolf]

@tutsiwitchking gravity is a theory, now show me that objects dont fall to earth

A theory is not an idea, it takes alot to get to the theory stage. Theories are consistent with pre-existing theory or fact, and stand on multiple strands of evidence. It is tentative, correctable, and dynamic in allowing for changes as new facts are discovered, it expresses likelyhood instead of certianty and is the most likely explenation for an unexplained phoenomenon.

A theory is basically a dynamic fact.

[SpazzzDog]

Bush also said we shouldn't do nation building - oops! Spoke too soon!

[MooseOfReason]

Of course, in 2000, Bush proposed a humble foreign policy. In 2008, Palin proposed a bumbling foreign policy.
