Not another thread on microtubules. Closed.
Moderator note: This ancient necromanced thread should have been closed back in 2008. That oversight is now rectified.
(continued...) I don't accept that faith can be justification. Apparently, you don't, either. So why assert that it can be? You're missing the...
Here's the point-by-point reply: No. That is the issue of ability to articulate. The pretence comes from assuming one has a sound reason for...
