Just watched the John Oliver episode. reporter: "what does Donald trump mean when he says words?" Spat my brew everywhere. The most apt observation of the pillock ever.
I have a friend who's so intelligent, she could tear all of us to pieces, including your friend, and she's currently pissing herself at your friend's cryptic assertions about the "darwinian theory of truth".out of curiosity, do you believe that someone who does not teach the darwinian theory of truth, must necessarily be teaching falsehood? Just that
I have a friend who has studied his work in depth and found it to be somewhat flawed. (And she has an intelligence so bright that, with genuine respect for your intelligence, she could tear both of us to pieces - in a way that you just have to sit there, laugh and applaud)

Be interesting to know where she studied and what in.There's more evidence for evolution by natural selection than there is for the theory of heliocentricity.
Your friend studying the very incomplete work of Darwin from 158 years ago does not change that one bit. 'On the origin of the species' has many flaws (one of which being the fact he believed the earth to be 600m years old) but he did open the subject up.
It's now the most studied area of nature and with all due respect for your friend, anyone that remotely suggests equal billing for evolution (which is provable) with the creation myth, wants sectioning.
I'll bet my life it wasn't evolutionary biology.Be interesting to know where she studied and what in.
err...where did i say that she supported creation myths? I might suggest that thomas kuhn's 'the structure of scientific revolutions' would be a useful addition to this conversation or that even Darwin's work is but stage in the evolution of thought? Anyhow no problems - was just a query. Will return to having a beer and wondering if american textbooks have accidently been teaching the 'survival of the fattest' - which might explain the election of Trump?There's more evidence for evolution by natural selection than there is for the theory of heliocentricity.

you might find this interesting -I'm not denying that "spicing up" was done or that everything about evolution is fully understood, I give you an example though, the Jewel wasp, if that didn't evolve there must a very twisted God up there.
yeah, whatever :)I have a friend who's so intelligent, she could tear all of us to pieces, including your friend, and she's currently pissing herself at your friend's cryptic assertions about the "darwinian theory of truth".
