		<description>jenni, as a student of biological anthropology myself, I agree with your stance that evidence of evolution is often staring us in the face.  

However, your rant does not do the field justice.  Please, when you are defending something so passionately, please take a moment to spell check.  You just end up sounding ignorant when you say &quot;posable&quot; instead of opposable, or &quot;Bobnobos&quot; for Bonobos.</description>

		<description>I just hope these scientist did not use a &quot;fudge factor&quot; to make their research palatable for peer reviews...

Do we still have peer reviews?

What would happen if a greedy CEO used a &quot;fudge factor&quot; to alter his findings on the state of his company to his stockholders...then they were duped out of billions becuase of his findings?

We&#039;re boned...</description>

		<description>People who call other people idiots based on what they believe are just asses. Theories are what they are. People are and should be on either side of the fence until irrefutable proof is given one way or the other. People should question theories, as this is how new ideas are formed, and new discoveries can be made. The status quo is death of creativity and exploration.</description>

		<description>Calling economics a non-science is like calling video games a non-art. It&#039;s subject to opinion, and almost anything can be incorporated into science.

It amazes me how you&#039;re all up-in-arms, too, about how &#039;they&#039;re working on this? What about these supposedly more important things?&#039; The thing that pisses me off about you people is how you just don&#039;t THINK about what you say. The REASON that someone is working on the numbers of the AIDs issue instead of perfecting surgery, or working on robots instead of cutting fuel costs, or investigating human evolution instead of working on pulling Americans out of the Middle East is because it&#039;s NOT THEIR PASSION. Or their jobs!

That&#039;s like telling someone who loves graphic design and spent years studying to make video games &quot;Oh, why don&#039;t you do something USEFUL with your time like cring cancer?&quot;</description>

		<description>Regarding #8, just do what RI did up until recently. Insure the car, regardless of driver. 

And the other interesting thing is once you get enough autonomic vehicles on the road, the unpredictability factor goes down so there should be fewer accidents.</description>

		<description>jenni the law of gravity isn&#039;t a theory.  It is in fact a law which is why it is referred to as such.  Theories and laws are different in that a law has been proven and is universally accepted where as theory is unproven.  While a theory has some evidence that supports it a great deal more is required for it to become a law.

Your belief in evolution is pointless because science does not deal in beliefs.  Last time I checked science dealt solely with facts but they have started to shy away from that in recent times and just come up with bullshit that sounds good to the unthinking masses.

I suggest that you or anyone else that allows their own bias to get in the way of the facts reexamine their thinking.  If you wish to see some of the facts that make the theory of evolution implausible then www dot scienceagainstevolution dot org would be a good place to start.</description>

		<description>Why hasn&#039;t one of these mofo&#039;s figured out how to get Israel out of American politics? You dont have to go to Harvard to see that the AIDS epidemic in Africa could be quashed if those poor bastards would just stop f******g everything and everybody!</description>

		<description>Sorry to say it, you evolved from apes. Bonobo and chimpanzee DNA is approximately 98.7% identical to that of modern humans. As with us, they share posable thumbs, 3d color vision, diseases and illnesses that are only contractible in apes and humans, some apes have been found to walk upright, smoke and use human sign language when taught. No other animals have these traits. Sorry, evolution is true. The law of gravity is called a theory, that doesn&#039;t mean there isn&#039;t gravity. Intelligent design is not based on science, evidence or truth at all. Read a real book on science. Science is based on provable facts, not fabled books or or untestable faith.

Chimpanzee intelligence usually ranges about the same as a 5 year old child, and some can be smarter than that. When I was five years old I was able to form complex philosophical ideas about god, space, infinity, a possible holographic universe(for idiots, basically the matrix), parallel universes, and I believed we evolved from apes. You, those who do not believe in evolution, have an intellect that is far below your physical age. 

Go to youtube right now and watch a video on Bobnobos, particularly one with susan savage, then come back here and tell me we&#039;re not related.</description>
