I don't know where you came up with this, but you're a bit off. Time Travel is theoretically possible. However, the most likely explaination for the temporal paradox of changing the past is that everything that has happened has happened, even if we haven't gone back to make it happen. If you need a better explanation, read Time Enough For Love by Robert A. Heinlein. It shows a good example of this.Originally posted by Shadow Sandrock:

Actually, evolution isn't "one man's theory," or rather, that one man isn't Darwin. There were evolutionists prior to Darwin. (C E, correct me if I'm not quite exact on this next statement. I'm a Physicist not a biologist.Originally posted by Shadow Sandrock:

Argumentative and stubborn? Nah. You've been managing that for quite a while without any help, @SS.Originally posted by Sailor Saturn:

You are correct in this, SS. Darwin only laid a foundation to what is today's Theory of evolution, and he wasn't even the only one dealing with evolution back in his own time. It wouldn't make a difference if Darwin had never been born.Originally posted by Sailor Saturn:

No, I'm naturally argumentative and stubborn. What you did is get me into a mindset to state what I see as the flaws in people's statements.Originally posted by fable:

Ah, yes, there's nothing quite like a bottle of Dr. Pepper after a fun little debate.Originally posted by fable:

The art of participating in debate, as opposed to just ventilating personal opinions, is something that also requires detection of flaws in ones own statements.Originally posted by Sailor Saturn:

Actually, I make note of almost every flaw in every thing I say during a debate. I note it, deduce how my opponent will twist/manipulate the flaw against me, and deduce a way to manipulate/twist their manipulation/twisting back on them.Originally posted by C Elegans:

It's obvious you are from another planet - you must use other standards for logics and logic arguments over there
lol! but with all this twisting and turning how do you stay focused?Posted by SS -
