Manticore's Comments

I realize she's probably lying to save face, but I can't quite equate flashing your phone momentarily as a flashlight (hopefully with a whispered apology to those around you...) with texting every two minutes or whatever. So hopefully they would rather tolerate a moment of that than have someone fall on their face because they can't see what they're doing.

I totally agree on the texting part though. You text? You go away.

Not saying evolution is bulletproof, or even that it's as bulletproof as gravity, but I'm tired of people looking up "theory" in their 40 year old dictionary and thinking that alone discounts the entire body of evidence backing it up.

Oh boy, here we go. There's a difference between theory, in common usage and a SCIENTIFIC Theory. Gravity is just a theory, would you like to go jump off a cliff? Since it's just a theory and all.

And I believe you're talking about the misconception that evolution is against the laws of thermodynamics, NOT physics. Specifically, the law that says closed systems tend toward chaos, not order, so since the earth is thought by some to be a closed system, it should become less ordered over time. Right? Only it's NOT a closed system. We get energy from the sun. So that law doesn't apply.

And there's a difference in believing in evolution and thinking that humans should be the only animals on the earth. Which is what would eventually happen if we weren't mindful of our impact on nature.

Really, get your facts straight. You only make yourself look stupid.

New Caledonian Crows use tools as well, and are the only non-human species to modify existing tools into new ones. Scientists even say they're better at tool making and use than chimps!

This takes less effort than teaching elephants to paint or whatever. It's not in an elephant's nature to rub a brush against a canvas. It IS in a child's nature to make a mess.
