Which of the following scientific theories/"facts" do you believe?
	The earth rotates around the sun (and planetary orbits in general)
	The big bang theory
	Einstein's theory of relativity
	Gravity
	Dalton's atomic theory
	Continental drift (ie. land masses/continents moving)
	Global warming
	We're descendants of fish-monkey-men
	Humans have anywhere between 20,000 and 25,000 genes
	Insulin balances blood-sugar levels
	E = mc^2
	Light is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet
	The speed of light is always the same relative to your own speed
	Protons and neutrons contain quarks
	Man has walked on the moon
	In space, no one can hear you scream
	The Krebs Cycle (cells within the body converting fat, sugars, etc. into energy)
	Hormones and PMS
	Diseases of the mind (schizophrenia, ADD, autism, anorexia, depression, and so forth)
	Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

Same here. Science is so brilliant. There are so many AMAZING things that we've discovered, figured out, made, etc.. because of scientific exploration.

i voted for nothing BUT the pms one.

and i'm adding a new theory that will soon be proven as truth:

Heck will go missing and never be heard from again, by the end of the day

Science is the bee's knees, so I voted for them all, but I have a problem with the 'we're descendents of fish-monkey-man' one. I don't believe that humans evolved from monkeys but that we share a common ancester with them. After all, they have evolved, too. And evolution is totally true, no doubt about it.

Whedonverse :: Lost RULES

"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain

I meant to vote ( I think I accidently didn't click one but I'm not sure now) for all of them except for the last one and that man has walked on the moon, I'm just not totally convinced of that one.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, diet coke in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.
