I like "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law"

LOL - I think the Apache Chief episode was my favorite...

Ah, BB ... my ancestral memories carry me back to that primeval pond, when life was new and you and I were just little wiggly things ... I think I longed for you even then.

Amoebas are very small

Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
living the timeless life
I don't need a wife
living the timeless life
If I need a friend I just give a wriggle
Split right down the middle
And when I look there's two of me
Both as handsome as can be
Oh here we go slithering, here we go slithering and
squelching on
Oh here we go slithering, here we go slithering and
squelching on
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
living the timeless life

A Very Cellular Song

The article says that previous studies of ostrich embryos didn't show the five digits because the embryos were too far along in development and the other two digits had disappeared.

How do we know that the same thing didn't happened with the dinosaurs?

Good point. Evidence from late-stage dinosaur embryos will have to be added to the equation. Right now, this doesn't "confirm" anything.

Dismissing evidence? Who's doing that? All I see here is science working the way it should, with errors being found out and corrected. If science worked like religion, whoever turned up the evidence would be threatened with torture or burned at the stake, and nobody would have to change their point of view just because of some pesky facts.

Dakmar...

I took a few minutes to decipher that post, and I must say I agree with a lot of what you said.

fC...

These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!

Dakmar...

Where you and I diverge is on the Evolution/Communism thing. You seem to view Darwin and evolution as the beginning of the end for enlighted, moral civilization, while I think Marx, class struggle, and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are the true dangers.

God bless you, I think we both have a common enemy in the BRAVE-NWO.

Now I follow, thank you. Actually, I don't disagree with this at all since I see the left as abandoning the uncertianty of democracy and majority rule for the assurance technocracy and expert rule.
