    I think there is evidence that snakes used to have legs, so half of it works really well.

    Of course snakes have legs.
    How else do you think Congress gets to their offices everyday?

    LOL! Good one, LordDogmore. (And unfortunately, TRUE!)

    Kinda like the old “new math”.

    LordDogmore, I like your thinking.

    It does say “Theory” which is to say no basis on fact or proof, just abstractions based upon perceived observations and imagination; whereas Theorems are derivations of logic, proof and existing evidence to provide a solution to real world situations.


    • That’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.
      Yeah, Jon … What LordDogmore said. >D

    theorem are not antithetical to theories, indeed they can be an idea accepted or proposed as a demonstrable truth often as a part of a general theory

    Wiley - I think it’s brilliant.
    I’m also amazed the stupid debate hasn’t started yet.
    Let’s just enjoy this very funny comic and not spoil it by arguing all day folks, OK?

    Radical-Knight: I have a “theory” that you exist based on images on my computer screen. But since it’s “just a theory,” I have to conclude that you don’t exist. Makes sense to me.

    Sort of like “theistic evolution”: The compromise that retains the least appealing aspects of both sides! No wonder it would “tick off everyone,” as Wiley says. (I’m still waiting for someone to go the opposite route and propose “non-theistic creation.”)

    Actually, for a lot of religious people (like myself), “theistic evolution” is very appealing as a personal belief, though we wouldn’t want it taught in public schools.

    Good one, Wiley! Assuming you’re goal is to make everyone laugh, I will offer this….

    Science will prove the existance of God long before religion does.

    awwww, doctortoon you’re no fun. No name calling? No banal posturings? No political obstinancy? No racial condemnations? Dang, I’m taking my ball and going home!

    (major tongue in cheek)

    … So, Satan came from Darwinist evolution and, God couldn’t do any better than a couple of stick figures? I’m not sure if I’ve been enlightened or insulted ! ! !

    The Compromise Conjecture.
    a suggestion

    Not a hypothesis, as it cannot be tested.

    Not a theory, as it has not been successfully tested.

    Not a law, as it has not been repeatedly tested by different methods, always successfully.

    I thought it was “Clam’s got legs”.

    RadicalKnight: go educate yourself
    Theorems are not theories
    Nomad2112: perhaps the artist (the guy in front of the board) did not wish to offend some people’s sensibilities by drawing naked hairless apes.. (Wicked thought…. Imagine how popular high school art classes would be if they allowed nude models….)

    I think Wiley did a very nice job!

    uhhhhhhh, it was a fig tree. The ref calls off the goal. As Bill Murray would say ‘no study’.
