this issue was in court(iirc), and the premise was that evolution was a theory, not a fact.
if evolution indeed was scientific fact, proven beyond doubt, this case would have been thrown out.
i understand why people would mistake it as proven fact though.

are we still evolving???
it depends on what you mean by evolve...
in the past human evolution has been measured by our physiological attributes such as the length of our arms or the cranial capacity of our skull.
Others would also measure our evolution through factors such as our intelligence of change/progressions in ways of our thinking or behviour.
So in terms of our physiological attributes i believe the process of evolution will slow down dramatically but in terms of how we manipulate the environment and how we think we will contine to evolve.

Those text Book Disclaimers are priceless! Thanks for the link, I love it.Of course I realize that Evolution is technically a theory, but Josh, it's a fact. Maybe not exactly as Darwin stated it, but probably pretty close. It seems that the only ones who oppose the teaching of Evolution are the religious nuts. Why they think that Evolution is anti-religion is beyond me. The schools can just cut a deal with the Christian Taliban - tell them the the course will state that Creationism with Adam and Eve is crap, but God created all the microorganisms that evolved into multi-celled creatures. Then everybody is happy and pado can wank in peace.
Exgerrated fact. We both use about 10 Percent (at one given time), but women are more dillegent at using both sides of the brain. However, this is a true fact. When you smoke or eat marjiuhana, your overall brain capicity rises by some percentage. Not much, but the percentage is greater when Mushrooms are eaten.
No its absolutely true. Im not saying this to try to increase consumption of it, but at one given point the brain uses just under 10 percent. Its because the bran is speeded up. However, this is only true mairjuhauna and Mushrooms. Im dead serious. Im not saying it makes you smarter, because its an overload for the head and you cant think straight.
You know, I got to thinking about all these Americans and their fad diets of no carbs, no fat, no nothing, etc. And yet with so many millions of people doing them, they're still failing and Americans are getting fatter than ever.
There's evolution right there. Forget about the risks of heart disease from eating triple cheeseburgers and fries. Forget about the shortened life span because you're carrying around an extra 100 kilos because your beer has too many carbs. That's so short term thinking.
What will survive in this country will be a race of heart-attack-resistant, carb-stuffing, gelatinous blobs that slither out of their SUVs like slugs out of snail shells. THAT is the future of evolution in this country, my friends. All this diet and health-consciousness crap is just a ruse to make those with weak hearts and weak stomachs think they actually have the genetic lines that will survive in the coming harsher world of fast food and lethargy.
Only the strong survive!!!
