Opposites are the equal differences between TWO nouns. TWO. If we adjust our American textbooks to teach only TWO theories of how-we-all-came-to-be and present them as dueling ideas, it categorically defines them as equal, and opposite. Light or dark. Left or Right. In or out. Absolut or Grey Goose.
How-we-all-came-to-be seems to have happened so long ago that either we forgot, we evolved, or we didn't have anything to do with it. OR...we can fill in the blank with many other theories. THEORIES that are communicated by words with varying meanings, metaphors and euphemisms. Tom Cruise - the actor - can proselytize about one that supposedly comes from science.
Ideas that become theories that become written down in books have been written down by humans. All ideas. ---> Humans publish and distribute those books. All books. ---> These books can be written in many languages, colloquialisms, eras, then read and interpreted and adopted by other mediums. All mediums. ---> These mediums are means of communication...between humans. All humans. = Ideas come from humans. All humans.
Except maybe Michele Bachmann.
How can there be only two THEORIES of ANYTHING?
