My friend sez the General Theory of Relativity is Bullshit. He says, there's no such thing as "space-time" or gravity as a curve. He thinks it's just a "force" that is unexplainable...


Any good raep lines to prove him absolutely wrong???

I'll stand corrected on the difference between a theory and a law, but it still leaves me with the same thought that anyone who wants to can disregard or disrespect a theory BECAUSE it is always under revision and retesting, regardless of how useful it has been in giving a useful framework for understanding how things are. Of course, to mangle an old saying: those who can't do, criticize! Which is all I can say about whoever called Relativity "bullshit".

As for Evolution versus Creationism, there is one thing they both seem to agree on to me: first comes the Earth, then comes the plants, next the animals, and then finally man. Evolution says all life sprang from a common genetic origin (genes that mutated and gave rise to diffent species over the millenia), and Creationism (as it exists today in its monotheistic state) says all life sprang from a common god. I wonder what we'd all say if we were to positively discover that the truth was somewhere in the middle?
