• Publication: "My global research has indicated that swans are always white, wherever they are observed."
• Verification: Every swan any other scientist has ever observed in any country has always been white.
• Theory: All swans are white.

Prediction: The next swan I see will be white.

Actually, what we've gotten over the last 7 years is the bowdlerization and editing of Science by political hacks. We also have seen the rise of the Luddite Right who confuse the denotation of Scripture(the prose) with the connotation of Scripture(The Poetry). My answer to them is to take a walk down Oulduvai Gorge with the Leakeys.

ARRRGGHH! I 'ave a new Avatarrrgghh that looks remarrggghhhkambly like me.
