re: And you're comparing the accumulation of facts (how the solar system is organized) to a theory (evolution). )))

Not so. Talk to your friends Bed and js. I don't think the two should be compared at all--they think doubting heliocentrism is the same as doubting evo-speciation.

re: I told you a story about a paranoid woman. )))

OK, you told it. Twice now. It's a lame attempt to do a sandbox bit of personal provocation--and I've told you to start a chat thread or space program thread if you just HAVE to keep discussing it. I'm not in the least chagrined or reluctant, if that's what you're hoping for, it's just not relevant here. Elsewhere? Any time.

re: We flicked comet's in a lab somewhere? And why was it awful?)))

Lab models. And it was awful (the money shot) because it was wonderful--killing suspense. But that's an insider's view from what science "feels" like, agonizing, and you can BION as you please. You only win because you can lose so big. That's what makes it different from tale-spinning--there are stakes.

Was it incorrect? If so, then that goes against your claim that stories are never wrong.

" Lab models."

Oh, so they didn't actually reproduce a comet in the lab.

If there are no stakes in whether evolution is correct or not, why do you care?
