It works best with mildly religious folks of course, but still, these are the easiest targets, and there is a whole lot of them. Satire is actually, IMHO, the most important part of our religion. ---------------- @Half-Wit Nelson (unless it's a troll): Science is, in essence, theory. A theory is the antonym of rigid dogma. That is exactly what makes science so resilient to changes and new ideas. All scientific theories rely on axioms to build a scientific system. As long as the system is internally consistent, the theory is sound. This applies regardless of whether the axioms later prove wrong. Unfortunately, creationism is internally inconsistent. This prevents creationism - you may like the expression "intelligent design" better - from even being a "scientific theory" to begin with. -------------- @sam: Would you like us to count the mega-tonnes of creationism flaws!

I think the reason that people stopped calling logical organizing frameworks "Laws" and started calling them "Theories" is pretty much a convention, not a rule. It's just a recognition of the fact that Science will never be finished in the sense that every discovery leads inevitably to more questions. Back in Newton's day, they figured that his "Law of Gravitation" was the final explanation for all time to the question of why things fall down, only this spoiler called Einstein came along with his "Theory of General Relativity" and refined it for a more complete set of circumstances. Here's a distinction that's lost on our more reality-challenged compatriots - Einstein's Theory doesn't make Newton's Law any less true; it just shows where "The Law" wasn't the whole answer. I wonder if they think the Bible is up to that sort of challenge? Ramen @42 Thumper – I thought it was “Newton’s Law of Gravity” not theory …
