Speak for yourself. Piltdown Man is a perfect example of how wishful thinking overcomes science in the public arena every time. The only reason Piltdown Man was ultimately exposed was because other more sophisticated hoaxes (Neanderthals, for one) took its place. The Scientific Method hasn’t yet overcome anthropogenic global warming, the gay gene, or—yes—spontaneous generation, because all of these hoaxes serve the wishful thinking of vested interests, the same as evolution.

Incidentally, you who “know things” evidently don’t understand your own delusion as well as you pretend: spontaneous generation is a necessary part of your evolutionary mythology. At some point, you have to believe that life formed from non-life in order for there to be any life to evolve at all. Therefore, by referring to spontaneous generation as “nonsense” you’ve discredited your own belief in evolution already and exposed your ignorance.

Knowledge without wisdom is a terrible folly: there’s no fool like an educated fool. Pursue wisdom rather than folly.

LOL — the expose of Piltown Man was triumph of science and your attempt to muddy the waters with AGW (a complete fabrication) is low-hanging straw man for the weak of mind.

Ah, the old abiogenesis canard. I have a one word answer: stochastisism. Learn it then you can maybe understand why your bald assertion is ignorant nonsense.

When you go in public, you should keep your skirt below your knees. Else you will once again show your ignorance in so many ways as you have in your attempt to pretend you know things you don’t. Like your post.

But thanks for providing me the opportunity to teach many.
