    I'm sorry, if you don't understand or accept devolution you evidence for the validity of the theory. If you pander to those who believe in evolution, you have just as much magic hoodoo gizmos up your sleeves as the creationists.

    The conspiracy to merge the US and Mexico is fine by me and is pretty much adone deal anyway, but Canada? That is just too much. When was the last time you ever went out and ate at a Canadian restaurant? Besides, then we would have to learn French as well as Spanish.

    The big bang theory is also bunk.

    The size of the universe is also made up bunk and no scientist who supports or parrots the "size" of the universe has a clue what critical thinking is.

    You see, lynx, science is a religion.

    Unless you now what it is.

    Time Cube? Well, i prefer the infinite multidimensional model based on my version of string theory which i dreamed up in 1969 whil being bored in a physics class. The insight was that since Einstein was dyslexic, and that influenced his thought process, ergo a=pi * r ^2 could be easily misprocessed as e=m * c ^2 and the gravity equation also fits right in perfectly and there you have it - oscillating rings of light as matter which when converted to energy obeys the same logical syntax of the formula while swapping one constant for another and switching variables.

    The Nova show on sting theory ends with a little taste of what I dreamed up when i was 17 years old, but they present it only as a two d model whereas it is quite understandable as a 3 d model but is actually the sum of all higher dimensions, or dropping the spatial thoughts, variables. as the fakir hoagland would put it, "It's hyperdimensional!" and so it is.

    You probably think in terms of three dimensions plus time and that is perfect fine for greeks who want to stack stone blocks up and build things, but how many attributres do those stone blocks really have? More than three or four. There are as many dimensions to describe an object or process as you need to fully and accurately describe it.

    Develotion and extinction are evident and demonstrable as is natural selection. The notion that simpler forms progress into higher forms is not.

    Period. End of story. No new species until some makes one in the lab. That is demonstrable and right around the corner. All the unnatural selection applied to canines stil ends up with a dog. no extra parts, no sonar, no wings, no fins, no wheels, just dog.

    There are less species now than there were a thousand years ago - where is your evolution NOW??? Oh true believer?

    The only place you can point to for evolution is in bacteria and viri and who really knows since we keep on digging up ancient ones and introducing them to the biosphere plus this stuff is rained down on us from space anyway - pansperma. Besides, if it was evolution they would be multicellular because that is a more complex form. Last time I checked, all of those bugs were still unicellular having failed in BILLIONS of YEARS of evolution to grow appendages, teeth, claws and poisons by which to better eat us.

    Enjoy your stay in flatland. Change comes from higher order dimensions, not some religious belief dressed up as science.

    Chances are pretty good that DNA is not rewriting itself, but that makes more sense than evolution occurring through natural selection. If anything, most change and variation is eleminated through that process, not enhanced by it.

  • John Kerry as Obama's VP?

    [Read the article: The racial divide, then and now]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I guess he thinks that the slot is his which would make sure that Skull and Bones keeps plundering, looting and playing pirate games with what is left of America.

    Obama should watch a couple of pirate movies before he takes on one as second in command. Who knows how long that partnership will last?

    ARRRRRRRGH!

    A vote for Obama is a vote for Kerry.

    In Pirates We Trust!

    kind

    cony and coney as in coney island

    constable (it's a joke in shakespeare)

    the prefix gyn

    cunnelinguis

    cunneiform

    the prefix con as in conquest, confound, confuse, contact, etc. (with and against - makes perfect sense)

    and so on.

    I picked up a copy of Shakespeare's Bawdy when i was in college which lets you in on all the jokes and puns we don't usually get today.

    If we weren't sex obsessed domesticated apes we would be the dominant species on the planet. Well, at least that's what most of those apes think.

  • McCain - not the nominee

    [Read the article: Quote of the Day]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If he looks like he will get the nomination he will have a "health" problem before the convention and that leaves Huckabee and Romney as the "acceptable" cadidates and guess which one the corporations will pick?

  • Cynthia Mckinney

    [Read the article: The racial divide, then and now]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    She is a woman. She is Black.

    Happy now?

    She is anti-war and anti-corporate rape of America.

    I guess that rules her out.

    I doubt that Paul or Kucinich will mount a third party campaign.

    Vote for McKinney if you don't LOVE war.

    Crackpot? Obama wants to invade Pakistan, Huckabee want to put Jesus in the Constitution, Edwards and Romney are the hair candidates, and Clinton and McCain are blatant psychopaths that any actor would love to play.

    I'd say that McKinney is the saner than any of that lot.

    And Ron Paul doesn't count.
