    Let me start by saying....


    If toast always lands butterside down, and cats always land on their feet, what would happen if you strapped toast to a cats back and dropped it?

    There is no problem with this because there's a logical error with the assumption that you can attach toast to a cat. It's an indisputable universal law that this is, in fact, impossible.

    It's only slightly less impossible than the fact that you can't bathe a cat, nor can you give a cat a pill.

    You forgot to add the floor covering factor in regard to the toast. I.e. it will only land butter side down on the expensive carpet.

    Eliminate the variables:

    If the cat is dead, it will not land on its feet.
    If the toast is stapled to he cat it will not fall off. If the toast is stapled to a dead cat, who gives a crap which way it falls cos you aren't going to be eating it regardless. If it fall on expensive carpet, I'd be more concerend with having a dead cat on my carpet than a bit of butter.

    Dinosaurs laid eggs long before there were chickens. That being said, current research suggests that many dinosaurs were bird like, from their gait to a feather like covering. Hmmdinger...

    My head hurts now.

    Egg, as it was a raptor with feathers, evolved into Archyopterix, and the chicken eventually evolved from that....

    The growing up bit I'm not qualified to answer, however you will stop buying Star Wars toys approximately 6 months after George Lucas has died, and the Maker's demand for huge $$$ on Star Wars merchanidising subsides.

    Stephanie Meyer on the other hand will take up this mantle upon the release of Twilight series action figures.

    I concur.
    Humans are afraid of the unknown. Religion exists to allay this fear by explaining the unknown.
    Creationism was a popular theory to explain the unknown origins of humans. Evolution is the current theory that has more basis in the known.

    The more humans learn, the less religion exists.

    Ultimately the final irony is that when a human knows everything there is to know, they will essentially be god.

    Darwinism. Too much evidence to support it.

    You know... Creationists vs Evolutionists have been at each others throats for years.

    My Opinion, there two sides of the same coin.

    the Bible is a book written to explain concepts to people who were seemingly uneducated back when we still thought crucifixion was a good idea.

    Moreso than a lightsaber?

    If I had a lightsaber I would become the world's fastest lumberjack.
