What voids and gaps?

Why should both be taught in science class when only one is scientific?

This is like saying we should teach both astrology and astronomy in science class.

I fail to see how I'm creating a...

Why is it that any time this discussion gets more detailed, people stop responding to it?

Does that say something about the current scientific understanding of human (especially American) society?...

I'm not dragging this further off-topic, since the mods have requested that. If you want to provide me with SPECIFIC examples of issues you have with the science of evolutionary theory, I will...

No, you still don't understand my analogy. You believe gravity is real and a fact because you know it has been studied, and has evidence to back it up, right? Well the same applies to evolution. ...

Going to ignore your haughty attitude here and discuss the actual science. So, what about all of the other fossil findings? There have been numerous fossils discovered which have both human and ape...

They might want to be careful about calling themselves Creationists then, because that's usually what it's interpreted to mean:



Excellent point!

It is not a miracle that life arose in...

You're assuming that the only fossil evidence for evolutionary history is Lucy? What about all of the others?


I'm afraid that's not how science works. Essentially, you're saying, "I believe...

Creationism, as the term is usually used, is the belief that the Creation account in Genesis is literal and true. This most definitely conflicts with evolution.

As Roog said, my analogy was to point out that gravity is labeled as the same kind of scientific idea as evolution (a theory). It, just like evolution, is a well-supported explanation of how a part...

Hehe, no worries. It all gets kinda complex at times, especially with wording which can be reinterpreted many different ways. It took me a lot of hobby reading on the subject to get a decent...

Actually, Darwin's theory is the basis evolution. His theory states that the "fittest" will survive, not the "best." "Fittest" in this context does not mean best, it means "most adapted to the...

It's not a "belief." It's science supported by evidence. Do you think schools also shouldn't enforce gravitational theory because that's just a "belief?"

Do you know why evolution says we share...

I'm not "quibbling about a word." I just wanted to clarify the meaning of scientific theory because a lot of people misinterpret it to mean "evolution is only speculation and does not have enough...

"Theory" in science does not mean the same as "theory" in colloquial English. A scientific theory is "A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially...

Agreed. I honestly don't think I have ever met someone who doubted it who actually really understood what it was/had researched it thoroughly.

I think if someone's going to outright dismiss a...

Precisely. I find the main problem that arises with so many people "disbelieving" it is that they don't know much about it at all. Most of these people that I've personally talked to think it's...

his is a subject I'm rather passionate about and I hope to show others why, exactly, I am so passionate about it. Likewise, I am curious to know why disbelievers hold their opinions so strongly.

I...

Home now, looked up that lawsuit for you Only-Now: http://www.nsba.org/site/doc_cosa.asp?TRACKID=&VID=50&CID=487&DID=36777
I also actually found the shirt:...

Missed the new posts while I was typing the previous one.


Only-Now did. It was more directed at him but I wasn't sure if you agreed with him since you didn't correct him, just tried to further...

It IS represented unfairly in many circumstances. And the fact that you're not just complaining about this movement, but actually arguing this country is not religious -enough- already suggests to...

And what source do you have that states this? I can't find anything other than some forum debates and a few Creationist pages (which requote the same thing over and over again without providing...

It's not a matter of people feeling that any mention of the religion is bad, it's the unfair treatment of the religion in comparison to other beliefs, as I already explained. There is a big...

How do you not see the absurdity of what you're saying here? The majority of US citizens are Christian. Christians therefore hold the largest vote and have the largest voice than any other...

Oh please. Would you guys stop ranting about how religion (at least Christianity) is persecuted in this country? People in this country couldn't suppress Christianity if they tried. A more...
