Inquiry is not a threat to truth; therefore, objection to inquiry is prima facie cause for such inquiry.
Just wanted to see that again, one font size larger.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful post, Phaedrus. That doctrine you mentioned ... I never heard of it. I don't believe in it or advocate it. As most people know, the theory of evolution is only about the development of living things, and it has nothing to say about theology. She sure likes that broad brush, doesn't she? Seems rather crude and manipulative to me.

Steven A. Edinger, a physiology instructor at Ohio University, commented: "I'm concerned that they've opened a loophole to allow intelligent design in."The masses will have their opiate. American aristocracy will continue to send their children to private schools - and many of those will still teach evolution as the best verifiable explanation we have to date.

As I see it, evolution is an ideological doctrine. If it were only a "scientific theory", it would have died a natural death 50 - 70 years ago; the evidence against it is too overwhelming and has been all along. The people defending it are doing so because they do not like the alternatives to an atheistic basis for science and do not like the logical implications of abandoning their atheistic paradigm and, in conducting themselves that way, they have achieved a degree of immunity to what most people call logic.

Don't feel bad about your poor spelling, lack of grammar, incoherence, or understanding of such elegant posts as my own.
But, be warned, when you reach middle school, your teachers might tend to be less tolerant than the rest of us.

Many posters, even many on this site, have vehmently expressed the view that Christianity held back the advancement of human progress,
The charge that Christianity has held back scientific progress is utterly ridiculous. Perhaps the best example of pagan materialistm is atomism. The fortuitous and mindless joining of atoms holds absolutely no prospects for scientific inquiry and neither does the fortuitous and mindless mutations held by present day materialists.
Only theories which deny mindlessness and propose order can be the source of scientific inquiry. It is this belief in order, in natural laws which as stated in our Declaration come from God that has proven to be the source of the scientific spirit and scientific progress in the Christian West.

And again I say, the masses will have their opiate. Which is fine with me...after all, I did tell my children there was a Santa Claus and a Tooth Fairy when they were small. I am grateful though that today my daughters can think critically and do not need myths to get through their days.

Keep up the good work and give me a ping when you've mastered "coherent thought."
fC...
Any particular reason your bio page is blank? Because your mind is consumed by evo schlockism nothing resonates in an empty space. A guy over here always inebriated(fairy science) died in a drainage ditch with a broken neck. Nobody was around like the the times before to pull him out. Your tank must have a permanent drain in it. I know another guy who pushed his junker(evolution) off of a cliff into the ocean because the only value was the insurance pay out for theft.
Ping me back when you get your brain donation---transplant!

Your pretty good at the insults...practice! I think you mean "You're pretty good at the insults, that takes practice!"
But, no. You just seem to generate a lot of them. Far be it from me to not keep up with such an ancient and profound FR tradition such as insulting the piss-boy.
It's good to be the king!
