  • Fox has agnostics having their own show? Look who is growing up!

  • @SKUSMC @SKUSMC ...wiki/Evolution_as_fact_and_­theory

    Evolution is an observed fact, but "the theory of evolution via natural selection" is the theory. "Facts" are data. Evolution is. "Theories" are explanations for data. That would be the natural selection bit.

  • I have new found respect for John Stossel.

  • you know, if one third of the population thinks you're capable of orchestrating a fake terrorist attack, you have seriously f**** up your job as a government!

  • Jeez, the other Fox hosts never treat Michael Shermer this nicely. 

  • Mr. Shermer is missing a key element to the vaccination argument (not necessarily autism.)

    He specifically mentions "all" medical research pointing in a particular direction. A good majority of this medical research is funded by not only government entities but the drug companies themselves. Unfavorable finding = checks stop coming. For the record I am about as libertarian as you can get so this lack of second guessing anyone's motives I find concerning regardless of the topic.

  • 2 people have a turtle neck dick

  • 01:03 "yes,i see the future,my rynoplastia is going to be a good one "

  • @SKUSMC " but equating an observable phenomena with an unobservable theory and claiming one proves the other is dishonest"

    Let me ask you this where do you get your information on Evolution by Natural selection. I saw on your channel you commented on a video by Jonathan Wells of the Discovery Institute. Do you want to learn properly the he of Evolution by Natural Selection. I can recommend some really books on the Theory that can be found at your local library.
