"Depends on if you think someone's interpretation of an aspect of the Bible is right, or that God is going to grade you on your understanding of cosmology."

Interpretation of the bible is always used to create doubt. The bible (NT) can be traced back to the original texts which were written, in many cases, by the witnesses of events. Interpretation really isnt an issue as hundreds of scholars have been involved with recent translations without significant changes. We are supposed to mistrust the biblical scholars translation but encourged to trust the modern liberals translation.

How does cosmology have anything to do with this? Again, if you read the bible its pretty clear what God is going to grade us on.

A perfect example of the mind boggling hostility that Darwinists display anytime this issue is discussed.

...and the "mind boggling hostility" of the anti-evolutionists on this thread has somehow escaped your attention? Or do you merely have a double standard?

Is Global Warming also "truth"? or is it "Global Cooling"?

Don't know. Not into climatology. Or you an expert on the science from listening to Rush Limbaugh?

You are right and I've said the same thing. There are evos on here who don't join in any other discussions. Their one purpose is to insult those who believe in God as the creator.

Yes, your false conclusions on this point, most likely due to your inability to have facts break through your prejudices and presumptions, have long been noted.

Hey, if you check 'em out, you'll see the occasional infantile indulgence: sniggering over porny subjects. What's also interesting is that they all show up without any evidence of pinging. IM? Dumb and Darwiner. Heh heh heh, Beevis.

I will take that convoluted response as a No.

Then you are knowingly wrong.

Oh my. This is embarrassing.

Why embarrassing? Ann gets her advice from the dean of clown college, and that is supposed to embarrass us?

The people who should be embarrassed are those whose God lives in the gaps -- an incredible shrinking God.

How odd you can be so sure we descended from ape-like creatures while not being sure of the existence of God.

Johnson's pushing lies and trying to get them taught to school children.

Someone said "When I read Darwin I knew I was in the presence of a genius. When I read Johnson, I knew I was in the presence of a lawyer".

He should not only be stopped, he should be locked up for attempted child abuse.

As long as he sticks to publishing, he's protected by the First Amendment.

I have advocated on other threads that the Dover School Board should have been impeached for high crimes by the Pa. Legislature (to wit: State law mandates that the school boards provide for science education, the Dover Board was attempting to smuggle non-science into science class, therefore they are guilty of misfeasance (or is it malfeasance?)).

That should also have been sued, as individuals, for fraud. I'm not sure whether simply lying to children constitutes abuse in the legal sense.

The advantages to taking these routes are 1) conviction on high crimes carries a life time ban on holding public office, and 2) it applies to other frauds like Afrocentric history and Ebonics, where there is no 1st Amendment issue.

Do a posting search on those who claim conservatives are science illiterate-- for Darwin Central evo-freaks here on FR, if the thread is not about smut or evolution, they don't join in on any discussion. Very Evo and Butthead. I'msurprised they even know who Ann is.

svcw, I would like you to observe just how childish, bitter, vindictive, and just plain false this claim is. (e.g. "evo-freaks", "Evo and Butthead", etc.)

I invite you to join any of the "crevo" threads, where you will see stark examples of quite a few Freepers who are unfortunately not only science illiterate, but very proud of the fact, and who exhibit far more hyperemotional belligerence than those whom they accuse.

How's your self-assaulting mental patient buddy in Kansas doing

How amusing. Your fundamentalist pals beat up someone for his beliefs, and then you accuse him of doing it to himself.

"...and the "mind boggling hostility" of the anti-evolutionists on this thread has somehow escaped your attention? Or do you merely have a double standard?"

I probably do have a double standard. I admit I'm biased, but where have I been hostile? Where have other anti-evolutionists been hostile?

I can show examples of hostility from the pro muck to germ to snake to bird to ape to human crowd. This thread has been fairly civil. Others on this general topic get downright nasty.

Some believe the the universe can be understood down to the smallest fragment of an atom. I personally believe the universe is too vast for our measly little brains to comprehend fully.

There's evidence showing the former, and a lack of same showing the latter.

Those that fail to accept the Word of God completely have no part in any of this. If you're not a partaker in eternal life, then you are ultimately irrelevent. Calling yoursel a conservative while rejecting that which we are working to conserve is the deepest oxymoron.

It never ceases to amaze me just how consistently you can be so deeply wrong.

So, do you or do you not believe in the existence of Ann Coulter?

Something I've noticed about these threads is the underlying fear that resides with those most devoted to either belief. When I say belief, I am referring to a creator, as opposed to no creator. Some of the religious equate evos with Marxist, and think it will lead to immoral behavior. Likewise, some evos equate the religious to fanatics, and believe that it will lead to ignorance and another dark age. Once these two start posting, the inevitable entourage of mud slinging is eminent.

You think believing in God is superstitious. You are a moron

I can see your posts are at about the usual intelligence level.
