NWFlyer 2 #301 March 1, 2006 Quote>we cant prove evolution, we can prove adaptation Evolution can be shown in the lab. Adaptation can be shown in the lab. They are two very different processes; teaching one doesn't have much to do with teaching the other. I'm not an expert on this by any means, but an interesting (and very accessible for non-scientists) read on "real-time" evolution is The Beak of the Finch. Story of a couple of scientists who observed birds in the Galapagos for about 20 years and observed evolution in a much shorter timespan than even they expected."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #302 March 1, 2006 Quote More to the point, it is ridiculous to legislate the inner workings of anyone's body. Someone isn't even allowed to come the pro-abortion side unless they do it for your reasons? Where in my single sentence reply did you come up with that line of BS? I've never given my opinon on this toic as it doesn't have an impact on my life. Nor could I fully understand all of the emotional issues since I am not a woman. This whole topic is strongly laced with religous opinions. I never said it was wrong for these folk to hold their point of view or talk about the topic. If they don't want an abortion, then they shouldn't get one. However, their opinion should not be enforced upon others that do not hold the same beliefs. I don't really care about too many of the other points in this heated argument. Nor do I try to bother holding an argument on this topic. It seems that most make a choice connected to their personal belief system and never change their POV....unless they get an abortion or need one. So, the very simple thing for me is this: It's not my body, therefore I can't tell someone what to do with it. Nor do I want my government doing the same thing._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
