Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly 1237
corbettw writes "Researchers at CalTech have discovered how bees fly, putting one more nail in the coffin of Intelligent Design. From the article: 'People in the ID community have said that we don't even know how bees fly ... We were finally able to put this one to rest. We do have the tools to understand bee flight and we can use science to understand the world around us.'"

Nails? Coffins? Intelligent Design? [sfgate.com] Pfft! What do these have to do with each other? Why do bees fly?

Cal Tech shouldn't be worrying about beating back old riddles posed by the flocks and get back to the business at hand of figuring out how to hack scoreboards [museumofhoaxes.com].

In order to understand how bees carry such heavy cargo, the researchers forced the bees to fly in a small chamber filled with a mixture of oxygen and helium that is less dense than regular air.
"Try this!" I should try what? I am not sure about these researchers, but I do not yet have wings and an air tank. Maybe they're overestimating the Try-This-At-Home market a little.

Agreed, and the evolutionists should also be open to the possibility that humans were created by Santa Claus as a mechanism for giving presents to their children. It isn't an either or thing. Yes, we know that presents come from the parents, but did those parents come about by chance or did Santa Claus cause them to evolve? I just think that people should be open minded about it.

Exactly right. BTW, did you know that I secretly prevented you from being in a car accident earlier today? I did it right, and that's why you never even knew I did anything at all.

Turns out an Audi works just like other cars, and therefore there is no such thing as a German automobile manufacturer.
Did anyone still want to talk about pseudoscience?
