Ozymandias:

--- Quote from: Morons ---But the researchers say the fact that the recessive form of the gene has survived in modern humans must mean that there is some genetic advantage in not being able to taste bitter flavours.
--- End quote ---

No it means that for some group of pre-humans there was no particular disadvantage that would remove them from the gene pool goddammit this is why we can't have nice theories.

Tom:
No research scientist would say that; it's probably some serious mis-paraphrasing.

Ozymandias:
GODDAMMIT SCIENCE.

Now creationists have more insanely underthought and misunderstood ammo.

SWOON! at My Gravitas:
Well I don't know, if one study could be taken in such a way as to instantly disprove decades of painstaking research I'd say it's good enough for me

You read the article.  The sun has an effect on radioactive decay, which means everything we've gleaned from carbon dating can't be trusted, which means all those fossils we went and carbon-dated are probably no older than 3000 years

jhocking:
Have you seen what people look like when they get too much sun? By the time you're 40 you look like you're 200. Imagine laying in the sun for 3000 years.
