Guess they'll be teaching evolution after all...
Apparently, some scientists found a creature up on Ellesmere Island that looks like a fish with arms. Is this finally the proof people will need to stop with the "evolution is a theory, not a fact" garbage?
I'm guessing no.
People tend to get set in their ways. Doctors, for the longest time, believed that ulcers were caused by poor diet and stress. One doctor claimed they were caused by bacteria. The others dismissed his theories and claimed he was using poor science.
So he gave himself a dose of the bacteria. He got an ulcer. Then he destroyed it with a four pill combination of drugs. Now, his "theory" is widely accepted.
Finding the "missing link" is a great move for science, as was the discovery of areas in Indonesia that man hasn't ever touched until recently. We are starting to see new species of plants and animals, and some that we believed were extinct are still around.
But, knowing the right wing movement and the anit-evolution movement, this discovery will still not convince people that evolution occurs. They won't believe it until they can see it in front of them.
In other news, another scientist proposed wiping out five billion people with an airborne strain of the Ebola virus. His audience gave him a standing ovation.
Too bad he didn't tell them that they were going to be the first to go.
