as the failures of evolution become more well-known.

"Failures of evolution" have nothing to do with this. It's all appeal-to-emotion.

[Hacksaw]

Chin up - maybe the ACLU can soak Mississippi for their tax dollars, as was cheered on in PA. Doesn't freedom suck?

[Blzbba]

"yet you have not once provided an explanation of why this is so."


Because some uneducated, scientifically-illiterate guy wrote something different in a Book long ago, that's why!

"Failures of evolution" have nothing to do with this. It's all appeal-to-emotion.

That precisely describes the belief in evolution.

Hardly. But I'm open to your argument. Go ahead and show me the evidence that falsifies the theory of evolution.

Sorry but the word freedom does not include any lines delineating what speech is allowed and what is not. My child was taught that in life they would encounter more people sowing weeds than wheat in their life, including education. If you think we should place restrictions on freedom of speech, I have to assume the bin of your seeder is full of cockleburrs.

You mean it is in a Book? They why isn't this Book being taught in school? :)

Here is a bit of an argument I posted a few weeks ago. Not one evolutionist responded:

There is such a huge gap in the intellect and abilities of men and animals, that evolution is incomprehensible on its face. If evolution involves small steps over long periods of time, why are there no other living beings that are even remotely close to humans in intellect or abilities?

This alone is enough for any reasonable person to toss the ToE onto the ash heap of history.

"You repeatedly refer to evolution as a "farce", yet you have not once provided an explanation of why this is so."

Not YOU again.

I lost track of how many times I have pointed out how ridiculous evolution is and always will be. Evolution is your religion; not mine.

[Dog Gone]

You're cool with teachers telling your kids anything they want because of freedom of speech.

Communism, gay marriage, burn the flag, hell, you don't care. It's free speech!

The moon is made of cheese. It's free speech!

Who cares about the quality of education, it's all about free speech for teachers! 2+2=5, and every teacher has the right to teach that.

[Dimensio]

I lost track of how many times I have pointed out how ridiculous evolution is and always will be.

That would be because you have never "pointed out" such a thing, so the total number of times is zero. You have asserted it on multiple occasions, but you have yet to actually demonstrate that your assertion is true.

"That would be because you have never "pointed out" such a thing, so the total number of times is zero. You have asserted it on multiple occasions, but you have yet to actually demonstrate that your assertion is true."

There you go again ... the "liar routine". Whenever you're cornered instead of the in your face nonsense, you're trying to be more subtle. In any event, live in your dream world. Believe humans descended from pigs.

BTW, is it EVER possible for YOU to stay on topic and discuss the TOPIC OF THE THREAD? Or do you just like circular nonsensical arguments?

Never mind. I'm really not interested in knowing your answer.

YAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[nmh]

It must be kind of scary for you that people are actually thinking and NOT buying into your religion of evolution

[Junior]

This one is so passive it might succeed.

[Dimensio]

There you go again ... the "liar routine".

I have not called you a liar. I am merely reminding you that you have yet -- that I have observed -- to support your assertion that evolution is a "farce".

In any event, live in your dream world. Believe humans descended from pigs.

You are again mistaken. I have never professed belief that humans descended from pigs. Perhaps if you actually understood the subject of evolution, you would not make such clearly incorrect statements.

BTW, is it EVER possible for YOU to stay on topic and discuss the TOPIC OF THE THREAD? Or do you just like circular nonsensical arguments?

You made an assertion regarding evolution. I merely asked you to support the truth of your assertion. My statement was in direct response to your statement. If the discussion has veered off-topic, then it is a result of your statement, not mine.

Never mind. I'm really not interested in knowing your answer.

I find this difficult to believe, given that you went to the trouble of asking the question.

[Dimensio]

Evolution is not a religion. Moreover, I am not "afraid". I do not understand how you have arrived at such a conclusion, as it is clearly not based upon fact.

[PresbyRev]

Have the Pastafarians been granted equal time in the classroom?

No limits means no limits. That means the teachers can say anything. Science teachers will not be bound by deference to religion.

[PatrickHenry]

Agreed. Not worth raising a fuss over it.

I failed to give any attention to the FSM in my post #16, as it seems to drive some folks quite wild...
