what ever happened to a bit of light entertainment and banter on efest.

these discussions are brutal!

Its a cowards use of knowledge.

I disagree.

I think criticism i the most important thing we have at our disposal. Without criticism, we'd have no fredom of speech.

[oafc0000]

I've told you before that I earn a living from knowledge. But that's just a job. I seek knowledge for my own inquiry. It's academic and what's more, it's my own bloody choice you cheeky get!

[worm]

Critiscism is a healthy tool.... Doing nothing but criticising is a waste of knowledge though.....

[worm]

''In bacteria, to the contrary, sexuality and reproduction are entirely distinct. They reproduce asexually, by simple fission; they have sex non-reproductively, in a furor of genetic exchange. It took a long and painful evolutionary history, stretching over billions of years, to finally link sex and reproduction together. What a strange conceit, to imagine that this linkage is somehow pre-given or 'natural,' inscribed in the very order of things! So no, I won't play culture to your nature; it's time to have done with the whole idea of their distinction.''

When did Andy Murray marry the Dr Who woman? I must have missed that. I am so offended.

Sure it wasn't his brother?

[ronaldo]

I'm sorry, are you saying that Darwin was "wrong" because you can't apply his theory to bacteria in the same way that you can to animals?

You usally center on a pharse or a word rather than the larger meaning.

[oafc0000]

That's because I only have issue with that phrase and not the larger argument.

Think about Dawin and what he has brought to this world compared to the people who choose to nit pick at his opinion ?

[oafc0000]

Wait a sec.Darwin's the greatest heretic of all time!You can't like him mate,no-one has done more to question the Christian faith .

Then think about what your contribution to this world is

[King Blue]

I owe this world nothing.

[oafc0000]

Nit pick? Excuse my symbolic laughter.

He is clearly seen as a heroic cultural icon. Hence, people here seeing him as untouchable. To anyone that reads or has an interest around this topic, this is just daft and I'm sure Darwin would be unhappy about it - not very evolved to think that everything was sussed 150 years ago.
