I vote what kook said. It's a lie perpetuated by Disney, and romantic "comedies".

But that's the joke! See you would expect him to act like a 45 year old man but instead he acts like a 13 year old boy! There is a hilarious mismatch between his chronological age and his mental age, and in the movies he is put into grown up situations but he doesn't act like a grown up!

Ironically one of the best lies is this notion that abstinence is the only way to prevent STDs and pregnancy.

No it is not. There is so much evidence that supports evolution. The only reason it is still considered a "theory" is because we cannot quite figure out where life originated from and how it started here on this planet.

My birth wasn't a lie, it happened and I am here. I blame my father for not giving me the right chromosome.

I think your definition of "theory" in scientific terms is a little off.
I think your definition of "theory" in scientific terms is a little off.
So, what does the word "theory" mean in science?
According to the National Academies of Sciences, "some scientific explanations are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them. The explanation becomes a scientific theory. In everyday language a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science. In science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature supported by facts gathered over time. Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena".

I think the way you see science is off. We call gravity a theory too, but that is simply because we do not understand how it acts with regards to black holes and how it warps space time. Doesn't make it any less true. Same thing with evolution, to a huge regard it has been proven as scientific fact. The big question that evolution hasn't answered yet is how life started.

The origin of life has nothing to do with evolution. That's the province of abiogenesis.

Theory doesn't mean the same scientifically as it does in general.
Go run some laps, or something.

Makes no difference, Nexi. Abiogenesis and evolution are two different areas.

Note how Minichan stays very quiet on the moon holocaust.
Coincidence? I think not.

Never happened. That's just a hoax perpetuated by the same reptilian agents who tricked bigfoot into assassinating JFK before pinning the act on Oswald.
