New Next time someone says "evolution's just a theory"...
...remind them that the laws of thermodynamics that make their cars go are also "just a theory". Gravity is "just a theory". The carbon cycle is "just a theory".

My, how I detest the phrase "just a theory".

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
