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???

[...] as everyone else is either posing theories or advocating religion.
Did my entire post >>17 just go right the fuck over your head? Evolution is not just some people "posing theories". A theory is not something a bunch of idiots cooked up after a hard night of drinking.

Darwin didn't just come up with evolution one day; he decided to experiment with hereditary traits through various species, and eventually realized the truth through evidence. More importantly, HE DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE TRUE, because he was religious. But the INCREDIBLE MASS OF EVIDENCE he was uncovering slowly drew him away from religion and essentially destroyed his life, because his religious friends and family (especially his wife) hated him and turned away from him for it. He would have given anything for it not to be true, but he couldn't ignore what he was seeing.

Darwin didn't dream up evolution without any evidence. The evidence came first, and it was undeniable. That's just what Darwin accomplished in a few decades, with essentially no modern  knowledge of DNA or microbiology. Think of what we've accomplished in the past hundred and fifty years.

Was Newton just "posing theories" when he came up with gravity? Or could it actually be true? Why do you lend gravity so much more credit than evolution? They're both "just theories" after all.
