"That is why we man the logic ramparts. To keep America from dumb itself down even further."
Spending some time proof reading your post would be a good place to start with prevention of dumbing down America.
Except that TTOE did not create itself. It was created by human beings. It is not "just is" as you state. Without human beings having created the theory in the first place noone would be having any discussion regarding the theory.
For example ...
I am not advocating bad spelling as a proper course of learning. Individual goofs are not the same as a concerted attack on science.
All science is created by someone. TToE is no more pro- or anti- anything than mathematics (also created by human beings) is pro- or anti- anything.
Without human beings having created the theory in the first place noone would be having any discussion regarding the theory.
Without human beings having created the theory in the first place there would be a lot fewer of us here, since TToE is the basis for any real Life Science research, which has led to the life sustaining drugs and medical protocols that we take for granted.
Better a moron than a believer of the Big Lie.
"Merely saying that the theory of evolution is "doomed" does not actually demonstrate that the theory is, in fact, doomed.
So, how do you communicate the thought/idea that the theory of evolution is, indeed, dead, other than through communication, both written and oral, of the evidence?
That's the one!
Lady Hopes and someone else were testimony to Darwin's recanting of his theory, from what I've read in various sources.
Great testimony. It's only AFTER finding The Truth, can one see how they were deceived.
Off-topic: I couldn't find my posts! I was looking in the previous page. LOL! Well, I'm neither smart nor intelligent, hence my user name.
But I know one thing for sure: we did not descent (or is it ascend?) from monkies, as Darwin's theory asserts. The evidence? Go to a museum of natural history and there one will find all the evidence, if he/she's perceptive to discern the inconsistencies and distortions of Darwinists.
Got go now.
Good night and God bless you all.
Yeah! Don't buy into that moon landing nonsense!
Hey, I'm a follower of Big Lies and I don't mind saying so.
Wrong. "IT" can neither deny God nor does "IT" deny God. The person who uses evolution as a tool to deny God can and does do that. Evolution is not a living entity that can deny anything, it only serves as a method to explain life and it's many intricacies. Evolution has no "tenets" it merely has statements of fact and references to evidence that support the theory. Therefore, whether you want to attack Evolution as an evil entity out to deny the existense of God or not, Evolution can not nor will not care.
Yeah, well, so long as you don't "park your brain in neutral" after finding The Truth. God gave it to you for a reason. To USE it.
Well jeepers, Al, how 'bout a little credit for trying to be brave? Most biologists probably are believers of some sort, and think in terms of an overall divine plan, through some sort of guided evolution, but that's not the issue here. Believing that there is a divine plan doesn't necessarily interfere with one's study of the particular processes of evolution, any more than it necessarily interferes with one's study of history.
Creationists, perhaps, don't have a problem with micro-evolution, it's speciation that they can't accept, mainly because of its implications for the emergence of the human species. To preserve the special position of humankind within the order of nature, they have to insist that every species is the product of a special act of creation. Otherwise, one would not be preserving the uniformity of natural laws.
Clearly, there are still plenty of people who hang on to the notion of six days of creation, but they are not where the debate is. The Creationists who are actively opposed to Darwinism now talk of Intelligent Design, regardless of the time-scale involved. They insist that there are no transitional forms and that the complex systems of particular species are irreducible, so that they could have no function in a half-complete state.
The problem is that even high school biology teachers don't generally know much about evolutionary mechanisms, so the slide from a notion of guided evolution into pure Intelligent Design is an easy transition.
The Creationists are not all fools, by any means, but even their best arguments are shoddy special pleading, for the most part.
Most biologists, paleontologists and physical anthropologists in the US, whether they are believers or not, have no particular problem with the religion-evolution relationship.
There are a few biologists, mostly in the UK it seems to me, who insist that evolution abolishes God. That seems to me to be as thickheaded a position as that of the most dyed-in-the-wool Creationists.
Unfortunately, the hardline "Science Disproves God" crowd do far more to strengthen support for Creationism than any argument made by the Creationists.
That is not true - the author provides some evidence in the form of a quote from a famous evolutionist. You do understand you are trying to argue against somebodies qualitative option. While I don't agree with everything is the article, you do seem to be misrepresenting what it says. Try using quotes. You have yet to provide supporting evidence for your claims.
This statement makes no sense - you asked about the difference between two statements is which God is mentioned in one and not the other. Only people can express options - theories can't talk - be they Neo-Darwinist or not. It is obvious many Darwinists are very anti-religion.
Medicine overturns the statement in the Bible that women shall suffer in childbirth.
I have no idea what you are rambling about but it sure does sound like you don't have any children - do you think childbirth is painless?
How are these not anti-religious?
Not sure what you are rambling about. Many evolutionists are very anti-religion.
