The numbers

Heroes was down 42% from its second season premiere. NBC is trying to claim only a 25% drop, but last year they rolled both showings together to get their final number and this year they're only using one of those showings to get the number they're comparing this year to, so ... 42%. I was one of those missing.

On the other hand, the debate numbers in the Post this morning didn't count CSPAN watchers, so I wasn't counted even though I did watch.

The numbers may not lie, but people have to know what they're counting.

EVOLUTION IS NOT A FACT, FACTS OUTSIDE CONCEPTUAL SCHEMES NO MAKE SENSE, EVOLUTION IS A RAPIDLY DECISIBLE STATMENT ONLY
IF SCIENCE META-INDUCTION SHOWS THEORIES ALWAYS WRONG, MAYBE CREATIONISM BETTER
THANKS

While I really have no idea what you're trying to say, conceptual schemes must be built upon facts or they're just word games. And creationism is certainly that.

I know I should be amused, but I find that jumble of creationism word soup just plain depressing.
