*Germ Theory of Disease* -- Science of Political Hype?

[Telly Savalas]

There are a lot of opinions on both sides of the issue. Do you think Germ Theory is valid?

[ret5hd]

1. Teach the controversy!!!

[Telly Savalas]

2. Precisely.

Liberal elitists in their ivory tower of academia force their germ theory on us.

Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not.

We still need to remember that it's just a theory.

All I'm asking is that our national dialogue allows for a reasonable debate which hears opinions from both sides.

[whistle]

3. What makes you think it is not a valid theory?

6. Leading Alternative Sciencists...

Have shown that an imbalance of humors and demon posession is what actually causes disease.

And if you don't like that, you're oppressing my religion.

[Telly Savalas]

7. I need a reason to doubt it?

Question everything!

After all we have another thread in this forum which launches the same questions at Global Warming. If we're going to question the consensus of the scientific community on that issue in GD Politics, why not question germ theory also?

9. Didn't catch the sarcasm of the OP?

[NYCGirl]

4. It's not germs that cause disease — it's EVIL MOJO!

That's what they thought in the dark ages...
:crazy:

5. Germs are natural, they can't be stopped. nt.

8. Fuzzy math

10. I don't know, but a good bleeding for the Republicans might be in order, just in case the humours

being overwhelmed with black bile, which by their actions and observations of the moon phases and the present alignment of the constellations, after consulting Galen, does lead me to believe a good, liberal overall bleeding is long overdue, as well as a strong purge of the bowels and stomach.

11. I just hope I won't be forced to violate my religious faith by selling soap or Listerine!

I think I smell a lawsuit . . .

:hi:

12. Who cares about germ theory? I saw a drawing once

that showed how a whole little baby could be curled up in the head of a single sperm, and just escape into the womb and start growing when it gets there. So, it could be that the egg is unnecessary and sperm is all you need to make a baby. The female is merely a carrying vessel for the male seed, which already encloses the whole form of the future child.

At least that's what the drawing said. And if Eve was made from Adam's rib, why not? Who really needs women for this reproduction thing anyway? :shrug:
