Someone bump this from 4 to 5. This is question I would also like to see asked.

Kuhn did not deny that sciences progresses, however he did subtlety deny that we are progressing toward anything - such as closer approximations to the truth or objective reality.

Read Weinberg criticisms here

From what i know of Thomas Kuhn he believed that science is social construct and that the new paradigms don't fit reality any better than the last. To which is think is a load.

As Alan Sokal pointed out in his recent book the discovery aspect of science is a social construct but the justification part is not and this distinction is where Kuhn missed the boat.

Shhhhh..... That is best kept a secret friend. ;)

Because the earth is very old, continent uplift and subsequent erosion.

ID addresses such an issue?

BTW some ignorant and misinformed floodist think sea shells on top of mountains is evidence of a flood - sorry to say it actually falsifies a flood. Take for example the Grand Canyon, on the Kiabab plateau, there are sea shell fossil that sit on top a geological column that contains fossilized foot prints, rain drops, ripple marks, mud cracks, etc. So just how did these dense organisms find their way to the top?

  I think you deserve D- for not showing any work and confusing YEC with ID.

This got me wondering if silicon based females have carbon implants.

Conservation of energy. Less atmosphere, less shock wave; greater velocity and impact force.

Why the use of this adjective? Most rocks i know of are "odd shaped"

Maybe they did read the book on "Universal Design for Printed Media" :)

No kidding...

The wildest amusement ride I ever experienced was a taxi ride from Cambridge to the airport.

We are the product of evolutionary forces, while we may be violent, irrational, deluded, greedy and self interested we are also social, curious and empathetic.

I would suspect that any other life form that is a product of the same evolutionary forces would share a similar mix of these attributes.

Thanks, nicely said.

I fight all the time with Labview weenies. It does have a place but for complex jobs interfacing with other programs or systems it becomes cumbersome. One old timer senior scientist where I work refers to Labview as programming for kindergartners.
   

Really! Sometimes the indication that someone is driving recklessly is when they plow into the side of a car, killing and maiming the occupants.

Drunk driving laws and enforcement do save lives and prevent many needless tragedies as they statistically highlight those that are most likely to be involved in an accident - they should be tougher if anything.

I would dispute

1) Not eating poison.

As that is a recent entry into their list of survival and propagation concerns. Then I would replace it with

1) Obsession with sex

Now the list looks a lot closer to what the human brain is concerned with.
