I just feel he is a great thinker, and has gifted me a bit of grace regarding my dismay when human beings, creatures with such great potential for thought and understanding, choose to ignore facts in favor of beliefs. Another couple of similar thoughts of his:
"I'm a scientist at heart, so I know how important the truth is. However inconvenient, however unattractive, however embarrassing, however shocking, the truth is the truth, and wanting it not to be true doesn't change things."
"Science is constantly proved all the time. If we take something like any fiction, any holy book, and destroyed it, in a thousand years' time, that wouldn't come back just as it was. Whereas if we took every science book and every fact and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they'd all be back because all the same tests would be the same result."
Essentially my point is the difference between facts and beliefs is that one can be proven, the other cannot. Faith is a beautiful thing, and my belief is that people should be free to practice life however they see fit. But in your response to being informed about the evolutionary origins of bird species, you chose to use beliefs to disregard our current understanding of the scientific facts, which to me came across as dismissive and arrogant.

Well, actually, if I recall correctly, this is a flash forward. She was impregnated sometime back by Ty (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47242832/). He was/is the boyfriend of Trixie (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34448318/). If you go to Fisk's gallery, you'll see the comic in which it happens.
Dinosaur bacon is very meteoric and is low in tar, I am told in confidence! (I am also going to sneak a loose analogue of this scene into my Trek novel's narrative, begging your pardon, involving a Caitian kitten insisting on being fed second breakfast by their group creche mother.) <3

Isn't that the truth? She broke up with me because I wasn't interested in getting married right away, so she found somebody who was -- the kid's father's best friend. And yeah, he was as bad as you might guess. Told her she was stupid and ugly (she's certainly neither, even 40 years later). He dumped her for a 15-year younger 'clone' of her and headed off the Florida where he baits hooks for rich tourists on fishing boats. The younger girl got smart and dumped him years ago.
So it goes -- Kurt Vonnegut.
