"But what if we apply that theory to itself? Then it, too, was selected for survival, not truth -- which discredits its own claim to truth. Evolutionary epistemology commits suicide." How do these morons hold down a job!? They contribute less than noting to the planet. Somehow that profound “thinker” missed the fact that survival and “truth”—especially in a species where rationality is the lynchpin of survival—are not mutually exclusive concepts! HELLO! Humanity has no claws and little for teeth. Without a rational and true assessment of reality, our survival is problematic. Jumping out of a plane without a chute flagrantly violates the common interest of survival AND making truth assessments--at the same time. If the fact that we could think disproved Evolution…then it would disprove anything at all where idiots congregate to “think”. I am not surprised that such idiot vomitus would impress you, Greg or ee! Anybody who thinks the earth is 6000 years old, and that women have pain having babies because God is punishing them—well such a dweeb has no anchor in reality!

What are you waiting for! Replace the water with human pi__, and then tell us how pollution is a scientific conspiracy because "God” dictates and humans do not matter!! "The solar system’s largest moon, Ganymede, in orbit around Jupiter, harbors an underground ocean containing more water than all the oceans on Earth. Scientists were already fairly confident in the ocean’s existence, based on the moon’s smooth icy surface—evidence of past resurfacing by the ocean—and other observations by the Galileo spacecraft, which made a handful of flybys in the 1990s. But new observations by the Hubble Space Telescope, published online today in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, remove any remaining doubt. Ganymede now joins Jupiter’s Europa and two moons of Saturn, Titan and Enceladus, as moons with subsurface oceans—and good places to look for life. Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, may also have a subsurface ocean. The new results come from Hubble’s observations of Ganymede’s magnetic field, which produces two auroral belts (pictured) that can be detected in the ultraviolet. Because of interactions with Jupiter’s own magnetic field, these belts rock back and forth. However, there is a third magnetic field in the mix—one emanating from the electrically conductive, saltwater ocean and induced by Jupiter’s field—that counterbalances Jupiter’s field and reduces the rocking of the auroral belts. The Hubble study suggests that the ocean can be no deeper than 330 kilometers below the surface."
