Heres the Mariam Webster definition:
Main Entry: fact Pronunciation: 'fakt Function: noun Etymology: Latin factum, from neuter of factus, past participle of facere Date: 15th century 1 : a thing done: as a : obsolete : FEAT b : CRIME c : archaic : ACTION 2 : archaic : PERFORMANCE, DOING 3 : the quality of being actual : ACTUALITY 4 a : something that has actual existence 5 : a piece of information presented as having objective reality - in fact : in truth multiple meanings never help since evolution isnt a fact by #4, its still not entirely proven if i remember, and is a fact by #5. Also it is fact and theory according to my Biology book; and if it is not important its the most important aspect of Biology. Of course my unbiased, gain no knowledge from, highschool book doesnt help explain things either. However for me i suppose a fact is something that can be observed without making any assumptions i.e. no part can be filled in by: i think that this happened because it supports my theory. It also must be able to be as to the point as 1 + 1 = 2. thats my 2 cents ------------------"Overspecialize and you breed in weakness" -"Major" Motoko Kusanagi [This message has been edited by KingPenguin, 02-06-2002] [This message has been edited by KingPenguin, 02-06-2002]

yeah hehe i even say this in my signature. things need to be diverse to be strong. if something gets too specialized for its purpose itll die as soon as a change occurs simply because evolution more than likely cant keep up with most environmental changes.

i still dont know why i have to and i dont know what you mean by it. but in my original statement i meant for the answer you would supply would have to be as blunt and precise as 1+1=2. you take a molten rock and then find another molten rock, move it to that rock and you have a pile of two rocks. theres no question to how the pile was formed and theres no question as to how the rocks were formed. that is how it happened.
however you cannot see 2 rocks and automatically know exactly how they got together in a pile without doing it yourself. any assumptions you made would be a general guess and you wouldnt have any support of it. which inevitably means nothing can be entirely proven. ------------------"Overspecialize and you breed in weakness" -"Major" Motoko Kusanagi [This message has been edited by KingPenguin, 02-07-2002]

that nylon eating bacteria is fascinating, do they know of one able to digest freon or whatever it is that air conditioners and air spray release. if there is, we may be able to combat all the pollutants were puttin in the air. maybe one day we could actually breathe fresh and clean air.

on their own theyd have trouble getting down there, but whose to say someone wouldnt put the bacteria in competitors wells to get more profits.
