By proposing hypotheses and testing their statistical validity, the hypothesis-driven experiment allows testing and validation of a scientific principle. Are you daring to question Global Warming™?

If a snake on a plane made it to Hawaii, for instance, many native birds would be severely threatened. Not unless there was a lady snake along for the ride as well.

The snake could already be pregnant. Also, it is a little known fact that divergent species of snakes have been known to hybridize.

We can question, so long as it doesn’t lead to a debate, because “the debate is over.” Yeah right.

I see my hands' True Life Trivia
Low Volume Ping List
On? Off? Private Reply Please Per popular demand I've registered at Cabelas but, again, really not necessary.
It seems TPTB here at FR have given me a “Profile” page with carte blanche as to it’s use. I didn’t even ask for it! Which, BTW, leads me to believe a couple little birdies on this ping list have been cheeping again, lol! Anyhow, solid thanks to FR for the gesture and if you’d like to check it out just click here or apparently you can click on my screen name at the bottom of my posts as well.
Nice perks for a lowly sojourner.
It was in the sixth grade when I first said out loud that a Bic pen was as much a part of nature as a birds' nest or a sand dune.

The snake could already be pregnant. It takes two to make baby snakes! Also, it is a little known fact that divergent species of snakes have been known to hybridize.
You are confusing this with asexual reproduction.

Pythons in the Everglades? That can't be good.

Tiz True- just have a look at congress- lots of hybridized snakes running our country

"Philosophers: is there anything they do know?" Philosophers know that scientists don't know as much as they think they know.

What a confused article. The author goes to war against poor scientific ideas and statements and claims that, without philosophers, those would somehow remain unnoticed or perpetually harmful. Self-serving from beginning to end.

The author is not a philosopher, he is the Jet Propulsion Laboratories’ Systems and Network Administration Team Lead for the CASSINI-HUYGENS mission to Saturn.
To: GodGunsGuts
Thanks for the clarification. Makes me feel better about philosophers.

In college , my roommate was a Philosophy major (stuck in the dorms with him). All he did was drink and flunk out.
