Scopes Monkey Trial... best name ever.

It amazes me sometimes how many people have their head up their ass sometimes.

Courts all over the country right now are debating the validity of evolutionary theory. How are we still on this? No doubt that much more research needs to be done in this field, because as all great scientists know, you can't have TOO MUCH evidence for any theory. Have you ever wondered why there are so few scientific laws? The reason is because in order to make something a law it has to be proven by evidence under any circumstance. Now, if you're talking about an apple falling from a tree, whether it's here on earth or on the moon, you can witness laws of gravity taking place to one degree or another. The experiment is short and can be repeated rapidly. Evolution on the other hand takes millions of years and thus is much harder to repeat and thus prove.

But nonetheless it is widely accepted by most reasonable people.

But there are some doubters. Now listen, I'm all for questioning the status quo, but if you're going to question a scientific theory, you better have some better alternative than a religious belief. Saying that evolution should not be taught in schools, while in the same breath saying that creationism should is like saying that "all these methods of preserving food are overrated; it was much better when we were all dying from food-borne illness". That's a real sound fundamentalist judgement. These are the same people who are against researching space and against stem-cell research. They want everything to stay the same. Until they get paralyzed and go to the doctor. Then they want ACTION! I would love to see all these freaking bastards who are against stem cell research to come down with an acute case of Parkinson's, or fall off a horse and paralyze themselves.

Way off the subject.

Anyway, the fact that this is even getting court time 80 years after the first time it was defended in court should be indicative of the way this country, and world is going. I hate to be a pessimist, and even more I hate to be dramatic, but to all those thinkers, to all those scientists, pack it in because we're all going away. Human kind is not long for this world. Relatively speaking of course...

But don't worry, some other species will rise up and become the domineers of the planet, and eventually go through the same ordeal. If you want an accurate representation of how everything in the world works just read a greek tragedy. 5 acts: Act 1(Introduction) - Evolution into homo sapien, Act 2(buildup) Man learns to build & use tools, Act 3(Conflict) Invention of religion, Act 4(buildup to climax) Wars rage over religion, Act 5(climax) Wars all but wipe out species.

We'll be gone, but don't be sad, it probably won't happen in our lifetime. It happens to every living being from plants to mammals to the stars themselves... they all get 5 acts in this universe.
