heh, falls over laughing... it's like flying is falling with style. actually it's falling and failing to hit the ground, as one of my favorite physics profs would have said.

ah, creationists... their own worst enemies... the silence of discretion is often just lost on them. Prarphrasing Dr. Jones: "Archaeology [Science] is the search for fact, not truth. If you want truth Philosophy Professor's class is down the hall..." These are my favorite words on the matter. religion is a philosophy, not a science.

....actually it's falling and failing to hit the ground, ....

That is how Douglass Adams defines it in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series of books too.
