New developments in cancer research, environment, health.
Science in the service of mankind.

OTOH, the ToE remains at the sidelines, useless as ever, content to
fulfill its role as a world view stop gap between real science and Atheism.
And the brainless mob that doesn't know the first thing about science,
goes on with their hissy-fits, displays of arrogance and nonsense.

Too funny.

The ToE is a product of the scientific method just as progress in cancer is.
It's discovery was inevitable: there is no way it could not have happened.
It looks like you creationists will just have to take the good with the bad.
Go ahead and paint yourselves blue while you scream and dance around the
fire (ie: practice your religion), but don't forget getting a colonoscopy.

Too hypocritical.

Unless you're interested in reality.

Every once in a while you trot out this same bit. Each time, after the
briefest search, I find another article that directly contradicts your
claim, as you could, if you cared to educate yourself.

http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Nov07/Siepel.newgenes.ws.html

But even if there were no current applications of the theory, your
position would still be wrong. How many useful technologies would
never have been discovered without seemingly "useless" basic research?
My current favorite is the research into "quorum sensing", the
chemical signals by which bacteria sense that they are in sufficient
numbers to "attack" a host and cause disease. Some of the original
research involved figuring out why fluorescent bacteria only "light
up" when they are in sufficient concentration. Why bacteria light up?
What a waste of grant money. Except, it very well may yield new ways
to fight bacterial disease, possibly with less chance of resistance.

Much of it based upon evolutionary theory.

Odd how you consistently make and remake this same irrelevant tertiary
point.

Why do you run from discussing evidence for or against the tree of
descent and other aspects of evolution like the obvious relationship
between all birds or all mammals; the fossil record and so forth.

If your position is correct, why do you fear such discussions?

No, the ToE remains solid science. It is you who chooses to sit on the
sidelines proclaiming "Reality is wrong and I won't believe it".
