Like it or not,
everything attracts everything else with a force that is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Like it or not, matter
isn't a perfect continuum but is composed of discrete atoms.
Like it or not, the sun
is powered by fusing hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei.
Like it or not, all know species have descended from a common ancestor, and natural section acting on random, inheritable variations is the primary mechanism that caused this.

Freedom is merely privilege extended, unless enjoyed by one and all. — Billy Bragg
