[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There have been lots of things in history that are "factually incorrect" and have either been proven wrong or doubts raised. Yes, we once believed the earth to be flat and condemned those who said otherwise.  Columbus didn't actually discover America (yet we still all pay homage to this "fact" on the second Monday in October).  Some other interesting "facts" some spoken by true scientists:
"Everything that can be invented – has already been invented" (1899 Commissioner of the Patent Office). 
"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom," ... Robert Milken, Nobel Prize winner in physics, 1923
"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible," ... Lord Kelvin, President Royal Society, 1895[/quote]
But those are different, right?

And there have been lots of things that people believed that turned out to be true. Your point?[/quote]
Really?  Think a little.  [/quote]

Sorry, I can't be bothered to make up a list of "things that people believed that actually turned out to be true" for someone this lazy and flip.

Threads like this encapsulate what's wrong with DCUM. A bunch of posters like this one, who think *only they* have a lock on the *truth*. So damn it, they are going to school the rest of us!  And they'll school us with lazy and flip arguments, damn it, because that's all we deserve! Even if many of us claim to believe in evolution ourselves, they'll still be lazy and flip, damn it, because how else do we talk to each other on DCUM!

Learn some tolerance, guys. We're not talking the Holocaust or Santa Claus here, despite some PPs' attempts to make specious analogies. You're a waste of time. Buh by.[/quote]
Np, but you missed the simple obvious point that sometimes things proven to a scientific certainty are in fact false. Pp presented some examples that you apparently did not like. [/quote]
