re: #92 Basho

Yes, Darwin did sacrifice his life. He put a lot of work into developing this theory which could have failed, and that would have been years wasted. Every search for truth is a gamble.

And what exactly do you think Iran will do with a nuke? I personally think they’ll push their theocratic agenda.

Your defintion of “sacrifice” is, apparently, different than mine.

On Iran and the nuke, that’s a good question. They’ll use it to push hegemony across the middle east.

While that would certainly include a push on their theocratic agenda, it would likely also enable more mundane things, like escalation in terrorism both against Israel and globally, perhaps a renewed aggressiveness against neighbors (eg Iran), etc.

While I don’t think Iran would actually launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Israel, or directly transfer a weapon or nuclear material to terrorists, I also don’t think you can simply exclude those possibilities out of hand.
