Well, I understand that is your view.  And it may even be right.  But is it 
right to the point of finality?  It cannot be challenged?  I thought, 
philosophically, "science" does not permit such finality.  Therefore, I stand 
by my assertion that as for the Left's view of "science,"  there are limits to 
inquiry.  As far as I can tell, "don't ask, don't tell" is the Left's view of 
certain aspects of Darwinian evolution when it comes to human beings.
