E(volution) is not equal to mc2

February 14, 2007 by Dr. Mc.

Suppose a respected scientist goes into the lab or office of another scientist and says, “I believe that there exists a way for information to travel faster than the speed of light, and I believe I can prove it.” Many experiments have been done to detect if the speed of light (c) is or has been exceeded by anything, so the second scientist would be very skeptical, but he would also hear him out. This is because true science is always open to question. Now suppose a respected scientist went into the lab or office of another scientist and said, “I believe I have found evidence that some species or characteristics of species exist that could not have evolved, and I believe I can prove it.” Even though much life exists that has not been investigated, the second scientist is more likely to lose respect for the first than to be open to discussion. I stand by my premise: True science is always open to question.
