There is a lot to tackle here. First a nitpick, the singular form of species is still just species. Regarding evolution, between the fossil record, genetics, biogeography, morphology, etc., there is an enormous amount of evidence supporting macro evolution. The missing link is not, and never really was an issue. That typically refers to a transitional creature between humans and apes. There is evidence in the fossil record, and more recently, of other hominid species that we either share ancestors with or evolved from. And among many other groups, transitional fossils, aka (not so)missing links, are abundant. Again, there is a mountain of evidence to support evolution, but I don't have the time or wherewithal to try and provide it here. The theory of evolution is far beyond speculation.

The scientific method or lack thereof. No surprise there. Let's all shove evolution and the mountain of evidence behind it under a rug because it contradicts our beliefs.

Politically speaking, at the national level, it doesn't make much sense to split off and join an ultra conservative state. It would be the opposite of the gerrymandering the right is such a fan of. They would lose any influence they have on the presidential or senatorial races.

There are surely countless competing scientific theories in all different scientific disciplines, but this bill aims to ban teaching any of them. If there is sufficient data to support them, then they should be taught. But pseudoscientific theories should not be taught alongside them.

There were no actual insults in my comment, though you may have inferred a couple. I also used an oversimplification of the differences between scientific theory and pseudoscience to tell you how you were wrong about them both being the same because they are both not provable. Those differences are exactly why they should not be taught as equal competing ideas in a science class.

Holy shit. You keep proving you don't actually know what scientific theory is. It's not provable by definition. But it does use observation and experimentation to attempt to disprove them. The other is pseudoscience that does the exact opposite. Also, scientific theories are not taught as fact. They are taught as the best explanation for the given thing they attempt to explain, based on experimentation and observation. Some people clearly don't comprehend the difference, however.

So you recommend waiting for a bill that sounds like a terrible idea to pass and then see how it is implemented before pointing out it was a terrible idea?

Spot on Bernie. No doubt the same people who want to remove the teaching of scientific theories want to teach biblical ideas in science class in their place. Regardless of someone's educational background, if they argue scientific theories shouldn't be taught because they are not "facts", they are either an idiot or have these ulterior motives.

I heard George Santos shot it down.

Other than Hart, they were pretty solid against OU. It seems he's not been wrestling very well of late.

"We're going to take care of it." - Biden shortly before the balloon was shot down over the Atlantic where it won't cause damage to person or property and can potentially be recovered.

The Gateway to the West....

Some people view equality as oppression.

If you have no expectations then you cannot be disappointed.

So he decided to cross the yellow line uphill into oncoming traffic because it was the harder path?

As a chiefs fan, I almost feel bad for him.

I expect Zahid to handle Amine, but I think your question was answered when Amine came home with an Olympic Bronze medal.

I'm sure this is a joke, but Pelosi is 82, whereas DePape is 42 and looks to have a very considerable size advantage. As for how the police handled the situation, that is a good question. I'd be interested to hear the opinion of other LEOs as to what the best approach would be. Seems like they handled it OK. I assume de-escalation is the ideal approach, but it kind of ended up as a "dammed if you do, dammed if you don't".

Nothing was more exciting than the Fix v. Suriano matchups. (Watching those matches on repeat is what I assume hell is like) But really any of the top guys at 165 are fun to watch, even in low scoring matchups.

Nope. But keep on bashing the "women's style" while our greco program is a joke.

So if our greco guys are so great at par terre, why are our greco guys so bad at greco?

https://www.youtube.com/live/1lXhHMXT03I?feature=share Yeah, he gassed. Pretty non-stop action the whole match, and Desanto is relentless. Pretty good sportsmanship, too, at the end. Of course, Desanto won so... 5:44:03

I think that'd be the only way you could accomplish such a magical task.

Yeah, that's not even a typo, BACs brain just glitched back to another century.

That's obviously what should happen, but it's not uncommon for calls to be waived off. See it on takedown a lot. The refs seem to anticipate what's going to happen and make the call a hair early. Sometimes it's the wrong call. Doesn't make it right, but I'm sure it's an easy mistake to make.
