It explains alot.<BR/><BR/>In astronomy, though, quite a bit is known about what isn't known. Dark Matter & Dark Energy are two well understood knowledge gaps. Even astronomy books for laypersons talk about what we might learn soon. And you can't launch a spacecraft without a laundry list of what you might learn. I've seen these lists used in Answers in Genesis as talking points. "OMG, scientists don't know everything!, But WE know that GOD did it." It doesn't matter, they're all going to hell.<BR/><BR/>I also have fun with "there's an exception to every rule", and the equivalent, "there are no absolute truths". Both of these are totally correct.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327006.post-83646958578210656552008-06-08T20:28:00.000-05:002008-06-08T20:28:00.000-05:00Plants have sap.
