    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    If someone comes up with a better naturalistic explanation of the available evidence and it has better predictive power, then the Theory of Evolution could be overturned. I don't think it will, but it's still a possibility. After all, the structure of evolutionary theory has gone through several...

    Karoline Leavitt accuses CNN of 'encouraging violence' against agents for reports on new ICE tracking app

    There were VOCAL and VOLUABLE complaints from progressive and immigration reform advocates who were "left wingers" during the Obama administration. Not to mention waves of infighting within the Democrat party over the administration's approach- particularly its very high deportation count in the...

    Karoline Leavitt accuses CNN of 'encouraging violence' against agents for reports on new ICE tracking app

    That's just not true. During the Bush II and Obama administrations, ICE conducted SUBSTANTIAL numbers of sweeps, raids, arrests and deportations. For instance, during the Obama administration there were about 3.1 million 'removals' - that is, people who were arrested and involuntarily removed...

    Noah's Ark

    Nah, there's plenty of corroboration of dragon and sun god accounts. Otherwise, why would there be fossils of giant creatures buried in the ground? Or historical stories of people battling giant reptiles? Or Christian saints who famously slew them? Not to mention the hundreds of sun deities...

    Noah's Ark

    Ancient dragon myths found worldwide - from Mesopotamia to the Americas- serve to corroborate Beowulf as a real event, not just a myth. Ancient tiny people myths found worldwide - from Australia to Ireland - server to corroborate Gulliver's Travels as a real event, not just a story. Ancient...

    Homo erectus in Java: 140,000-year-old fossils found in submerged river valley

    They keep turning up all over the place, and in more and more variations. I think there have been three new Homo species discovered in just the last decade (juluensis, bodoenesis and nadeli) and another couple of earlier discoveries that have been formally type classified as Homo. That would...

    UN Peacekeeping in Ukraine

    Huh? It's just a series of non-sequiturs with you. Does anything actually sink in, or are you just a particularly dim LLM? Lviv is not Russian. It's not governed by Russia, or in any way controlled by it. That means Russia has zero say about what it does or doesn't do (including what currency...

    UN Peacekeeping in Ukraine

    Yes. If Russia could meet the requirements to be eligible for a seat on the EU Parliament, that would help. The Copenhagen Criteria are fair and reasonable. All Russia would need to do is: Have a working, transparent democracy with regular, open, free and fair elections which are monitored by...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    Ehhh, some do. Maybe. There's more relationships between Ediacaran biota and Cambrian biota than we thought of even ten years ago, largely thanks to a series of finds in South Australia and Namibia in rock that is 550-575 million years old. However, the connections are still tenuous and...

    ICE Arrests 11 Iranian Nationals Amid Sleeper Cell Threat

    By all means, detain and remove people who violate immigration laws. That goes doubly for people who commit crimes in the US. However, if you're a branch of the government, don't fear-monger. Don't lump the arrests of 11 individuals - most of which have no connection to each other - and...

    ICE Arrests 11 Iranian Nationals Amid Sleeper Cell Threat

    11 people arrested in different cities and states, who don't appear to have any substantive connection to each other apart from being Iranian and arrested. Several of them are in their 60s, and a couple more are in their 50s. Multiple people with arrests (real 'sleeper cell' activity there)...

    Trump says Israel, Iran agree to 'Complete and Total CEASEFIRE': Live updates

    Yeah, just imagine. That person could have unsecured classified information. They could even do something ridiculous with it, like store it in a bathroom. Or a garage.

    Trump lashes out at Israel: "They don't know what the ....<heck>... they're doing"

    From this: "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which...
