Well, then I wonder why millions of humans over the centuries never figured it out until Darwin. You could make that claim about any scientific theory. Why did it take until the 16th century to verify a heliocentric solar system? The evidence was in plain view. Someone had to be first (and Darwin wasn't the first to figure out evolution, he was just the first to attribute it to a testable & subsequently verified cause).

The evidence was in plain view. Plain view? Too bad they wasted so much time with the building of telescopes and other equimpment to measure with since it was in "plain view". No wonder it took so long, since they wasted so much time on unnecessary developments. Looked at any atoms lately? BTW, to the fellow who asked bout if I meant to say thermodynamics, I did indeed misspeak. Newtons laws of Classical Dynamics and Zeroths Law of thermo dynamics. I was up late discussing this.. and in fact find it hard to believe this thread has gone this long.. anyone else getting bored? In any event, I am dropping this one, because I AM geting bored with it and have other threads I want to address. You win, protect your kids from "dangerous" ideas all ya like. I do not care about the subject enough to dehate it further. You obviously are more frightened of your children being corrupted more than I care about their minds being expanded. I will go away and drink my poison and stop corrupting your youth now. ;)
