DIS-proving or merely challenging evolution? You’re literally all over the map with “falsifiable”, which later becomes “prove it to be true”...heaven forbid a scientist think outside your box!

The chemist never uttered a word about God, much less waving His hand. That was your fantasy.

Anything that challenges your cult of evolution worldview is automatically considered religious.

You’re incapable of focusing on the science.

Your programmed mind, what’s left of it, sees/hears
‘evolution’, then ‘science’ and any challenge to evolution is ALWAYS met with your own insecurity about God or some untoward religious event.

This was evident immediately with your algae answer.

Your quest is not one of science but a anti-religious crusade.

You’ve got it REALLY bad and completely ass-backwards.

Scientific evidence to challenge evolution? Bring it on.

So is Creationism falsifiable yet?

Keeping religion out of science class, the fiends!

Well, Juddeo-Christian religion anyway.

GAIA is firmly entrenched.

Stuck on...???

That’s what this entire argument is about!

“Bringing it on”...why is your side so scared to death of bringing it on?

Why does your side call it religion every time it’s answered, screaming like a little sissy to a courthouse, INQUISITION INQUISITION?

It’s true, God should be kept out of science class.


Why? You yourself admitted it’s possible for God to have created you through algae?

Why do you demand to angrily contradict yourself?

If it were; be sure the Evo's would have let it be known by now.

Evos know that Creationism is not falsifiable. That's why Creationism isn't science.

Science is hard.

Science isn't hard. The only thing that's hard about science is keeping the lies about it straight so that the liberals can use it to further their agenda.

Of course the truth matters.

Well, if truth matters, then science isn't the place to be looking. Of haven't you gotten the memo yet? That science isn't about truth?

Truth: This is a word best avoided entirely in physics [and science] except when placed in quotes, or with careful qualification. Its colloquial use has so many shades of meaning from ‘it seems to be correct’ to the absolute truths claimed by religion, that it’s use causes nothing but misunderstanding. Someone once said "Science seeks proximate (approximate) truths." Others speak of provisional or tentative truths. Certainly science claims no final or absolute truths.

Feel free to start a charter school to teach the Bible in science class.

Private Christian schools and homeschools across the country teach creation along with ID in science and are blowing the public school evolution indoctrinated students out of the water in standardized tests and SAT tests.

Maybe if teaching creation is such a detriment to education, you could explain those statistics away.

Maybe that’s it...high graduation rates, and higher achievement and better performance IS the Inquistion and/or being burned at the stake?

For scientific truth it is.

Private schools and home schools are great. Mine taught science in the science class and religion in the religion class. I'm sorry your school did such a poor job.

Maybe if teaching creation is such a detriment to education, you could explain those statistics away.

I'm not defending the NEA or NEA run schools. Just trying to keep mythology out of the science class.

Teaching mythology instead of science is a detriment to the teaching of science.

Baloney!

You are in complete denial.

You not only support the reinterpretation by the NEA and others of the far left concerning what can be uttered concerning God in Big Government Schools (intentionally running roughshod over parents since the Warren Court liberal activism), you also support using Big Centralized Government force to push a destructive, materialistic, immoral worldview onto other people's children.

Just like all liberals, you run to the liberal court system and pretend we live in an oligarchy of judges. After the liberalized court legislates from the bench, you trumpet the new legislation as if it agreed with the original constitutional interpretations before the far left politicized the courts.

Celebratory agreement with the far left and their liberal newspapers, movies and tv shows is not a trumpet any American should blow.

Supporting the far left Big Government School monopoly is the biggest factor that has brought our nation to the brink of electing a socially liberal Marxist.

Congratulations.

I'm in favor of eliminating the NEA right now. I'd like the liberal crap they teach our children to be eliminated immediately to be replaced with reading, writing, history, math and science. I'd still be against teaching religion in science class.

Just like all liberals,

LOL! That's funny. Maybe I should respond to you by saying, "Just like all Muslims"?

Supporting the far left Big Government School monopoly

I thank God I didn't suffer through the "far left Big Government School monopoly". That's probably why I understand the difference between science and religion.

It's obvious that your NEA school failed you in that area.
