pmbuko shareholder in the making Registered: 04/02/03 Posts: 15981 Loc: Leesburg, Virginia	I came across this fantastic graphic that explains what a scientific theory is. Many people seem to think a theory is not much more than a guess. Hopefully this will help. _________________________ -- Let me tell you a story about why I believe anecdotal evidence. --

Murph axiomite Registered: 10/05/06 Posts: 6164 Loc: PEI, Canada	I was sad because they dismissed the pentacle with the pentagram in it. I think that assumption warrants further scientific study based on the fact that it has more pointy thingies. Is that helpful? _________________________ I'm Riffing.
