  There often came a point in Monty Python sketches where a man with a posh accent came on and said "This sketch is getting TOO SILLY!" and that would be the end of it.

  The same might be said for this thread. Any serious attempt at discussion has been abandoned. Who started this "what is ... " lark anyway?

      The real question is:

      What is the air speed-velocity of a fully laden swallow?

      What is a fact?
      What is historical?
      What is scientific?
      What is same?
      What is different?

      Please answer each question.

      Is there a difference between a scientific and a historical fact? When are
      they the same and when different?

      I dont know about it being brilliant. He spends a lot of time
      talking about
      how evolution isnt a "theory" its a fact, when we all know that the word
      theory has more meanings than the sense that he is using it.

      I also bristle a bit at his suggestions on what preachers should preach
      about. This is disingenuous isnt it? What he really wants is
      for there to
      be no church, no preachers, and no religion. Perhaps he wants
      the preachers
      to say that the existence of Adam and Eve isnt factual just to create
      dissension, not to spread truth. Since evolution does not necessarily
      negate the historicity of Adam he is straying to far from his area of
      expertise here.

      No, I am not joking. There was an absolutely brilliant article in
      The Times
      today on the menace of creationism. Excellent stuff, not one attack on
      Christianity. It does have a few necessary comments on bishops and clergy
      put in an understatement.
