Friends: Evolution vs Intelligent Design

So I can't get the video to embed here, but there's an episode of Friends in which Phoebe and Ross debate the merits of evolution versus creationism. The clips of their fight can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXr2kF0zEgI.

What's most interesting about their debate is not their arguments and the facts they use to back them up, but the point Phoebe makes at the end (ignoring when she goes back on it of course). Regardless of our own opinions, we should all admit that there's the chance we're wrong. Science is always evolving as new information is discovered. So while you might be quite sure you're right, don't be afraid to acknowledge other options. At the very least, don't shoot them down without listening to someone else's argument.
