Proceedings postponed after guilty verdict in US slavery case 

A judge cleared a U.S. courtroom when a jury convicted a millionaire couple in a so-called modern-day slavery” case after the woman fainted, along with one of her daughters.

….Varsha Mahender Sabhnani, who is also from Indonesia, collapsed into the chest of her Indian-born husband, Mahender Murlidhar Sabhnani, after a jury found them guilty Monday of all charges in a 12-count federal indictment that included forced labor, conspiracy, involuntary servitude and harboring aliens.

If modern slavers have such delicate sensibilities maybe they should turn their attention to more productive pursuits or as someone once said, don’t do the crime if ya can’t pay the time.

YouTube video of Dr. Ron Paul claiming that evolution is only a theory.

Scientific Theory: A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a hypothesis.

In general, both a scientific theory and a scientific law are accepted to be true by the scientific community as a whole. Both are used to make predictions of events. Both are used to advance technology.

In fact, some laws, such as the law of gravity, can also be theories when taken more generally. The law of gravity is expressed as a single mathematical expression and is presumed to be true all over the universe and all through time. Without such an assumption, we can do no science based on gravity’s effects.
