What's Toronto?
Damned good question there. Because we can't have Bloomberg and Ford in the same place?

He's making a youtube show. everyone should go see it and see how bad it is.
The man singlehandedly put Canada on the map.
Seriously, can anyone here name any other Canadians?
And no, Wolverine doesn't count.
That would be rather confusing, considering that we already use that term to refer to specific modes/patterns of evolution. For example, when I say, "model of evolution," I'm usually referring to any one of several numerical/mathematical models devised to approximate molecular evolutionary processes (JC, HKY-85, GTR+G+I, etc.).I would go with model myself.
Well...yes, and no. The concept of a "missing link" is inherently flawed. What we're really interested in are intermediate character states which are exemplified by certain organisms/species. But the phrase "missing link" assumes both speciation via anagenesis (linear or non-branching evolution...something virtually possible to infer via the fossil record) and that there isn't actually a continuum of so-called "intermediate forms" leading to Homo sapiens.The way I understand it, there are multiple missing links. Just show an evolution nonbeliever the skeleton of an australopithecine.

Great for the layman, not so great for the evolutionary biologist or systematist.
Yeah, but that's okay. What we really need is better science education - the difference between a hypothesis and a theory should be one of the first things we teach, along with the scientific method itself.True. System is taken... process is taken.
Well, ****.
I guess theory was all that was left.

My favorite is the "If we came from monkeys than why are there still monkeys?!" argument.
And, to add more X-Men, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore.Sabretooth? He was born in Edmonton, too
Justin Bieber, although we try to deny it as much as possible, is Canadian. As is Avril Lavigne and Celine Dion.
Ryan Reynolds is also Canadian. And Anna Paquin. The list goes on.
I think it's that most people don't realize the above actually come from Canada. Rob Ford, as mayor of Toronto, is clearly Canadian (unfortunately).
I think that guy is an idiot and he's just going the kamikazee route at this point. He's as much of an ape as the first "human."
If we came from dirt, than why do we still have dirt?!

Scientific theory
Having "theory" in there does complicate things, even if the definition of a scientific theory is different than just theory. It gets tiresome having to explain to people the difference between the two.
