Any other week, I might have just laughed this off, or torn the poster a new one. This week, though, I understand the point completely.
You see, I’ve been studying for my upcoming Pathology test and my Death Finals from Hell, and I’ve decided that this medicine business is hard. It would be much easier just to believe that disease is caused by evil spirit demons. After all, you can’t prove that it isn’t!
So from now on, I’m going to forget all this so-called “evidence-based medicine”, and instead just wave my hands over patients and say, “Ooga Booga”. I’m sure families will be comforted. Sure, I’ll meet some resistance from my more “scientific” colleagues, but what do they know? Can they prove me wrong? My “theory” is just as good as theirs, right?

Prove this! Prove that!
Ha! Prove relativity! Know the weight of the words you’re throwing around! It’s not so easy, you learn to live a hundred million years, and maybe you’ll be able to prove something. Now, how hard is it really to come up with some theory? Not hard at all, actually. What about proving it? Well, that’s harder, by quite a bit, in fact. But you’re not done. This step can come in either order ,but one way or another you’ve gotta get the public to notice it. The most important thing about Evolution is its basic sense; everything flows in an organized manner. Not like life, true, but more plausible than a creation theory. I can’t totally find Evolution perfect-“Survival of the fittest”? Can you say 19th century english politics? I think so. But even so, one does not have a right to criticize without supporting one theory, or proposing another. Thanks for inspiring to write thouh,
