pmbuko shareholder in the making Registered: 04/02/03 Posts: 16307 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. _________________________ "I wish I had documented more…" said nobody on their death bed, ever.

Murph axiomite Registered: 10/05/06 Posts: 6884 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? _________________________ With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
