Wasnt cat people a movie about a group of people who could transform into black panthers?

There was a soft-pornish remake in the 80s as well, and it was the name of a David Bowie song.And THAT is how you derail a thread! ------------------

Is the panther in the picture semi-meoitic?

No... if you see the 80s version, the cat people are all about sexual reproduction... ------------------

This is part of the opening of Salty's paper on Evolution as a Self-Limiting Process.Even if we assume he is right that Darwin's theories are incorrect, this a logical fallacy. Denying the antecedent. "If Darwin is right, sexual reproduction will be able to produce new kinds of living things. Darwin is not right, therefore sexual reproduction cannot produce new kinds of living things."It's akin to saying, "When the weather is rainy, it's cold out. But it's not rainy today, therefore the weather will be warm." The weather could still be cold, but not rainy.This fallacy seems to be the only explanation in the paper for sexual reproduction not being involved in evolution.(Salty, if I'm misinterpreting what you said here, please let me know. Additionally, I haven't had time to read your other papers yet. You might explain it there.)------------------

Yikes. You complained that no one was reading your papers. I read it, pointed out a rather important logical fallacy, and respectfully asked you to clear it up if I was misinterpreting it.You wanna call that "a den of hate" or "anal nonsense", that's your business...------------------

I wonder if anyone in Menudo is dead... that's the kind of thing you don't hear about until well after you'd care, and then think it's an urban legend.------------------
