Fight Over Evolution Looms In Maine School District

[Daughter of the King]

A final thought, This to me is one of the best scriptures concerning evolution.......... In Romans 1:18-25 " For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness, Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. professing themselves to become wise they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things, who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen..........

Thump that Bible! A poorly translated politically cobbled together collection of stone age myths whose followers held humanity in almost two mellinia of Dark Ages. Welcome to the 5th century! Live in a mud hut, die at 25, give everything to your local flock-fleecer.
And yes I am making fun of you, wilful ignorance deserves nothing else.

No.

Your bible is not a relevant source document for anything scientific. When you start off with "goddidit", that pretty much screws the rest.

It amazes me that this controversy keeps resurfacing, and is actually given any credibility, in state after state and district after district. Don't they know how to read? Haven't they seen every other ruling on the subject? Isn't it obvious to them that they are going to get smacked down if they proceed with such nonsense?
It's like a bunch of people watching one person after another run into a brick wall and smashing their heads, but then thinking that maybe, just maybe, if THEY try to run through it, THIS time it will be different and they'll be able to pass right through!
Bottom line. Creationism/ID is NOT science, no matter how many science-type words you try to disguise it in. Hence, it doesn't belong in science class. Creationism/ID is religious based, hence, it is unconstitutional to push it into public schools. Case closed, you fundies really need to stop wasting tax payer money and school district time that could be used for actual education instead of lining lawyer's pockets, as we have to counter your insanity over and over again.

Doesn't have a damn thing to do with evolution.

It does say a lot about your paranoia and pathological world view.

Yeah that's fine Wayne.

Now, do you want to tell me what the hell a piece of scripture written 2000 years ago has to do with evolution?

You people are all nuts, you know that, right?

Because that piece of Scripture declares evolution a lie and YOU a liar for promoting it.

Pope says that evolutions is real.....because God CREATED evolution. So there!!!!!!!!!!

And UFOs. It's ok to believe in UFOs, Roman Catholic Pontiff states. God created UFOs too.

Who to believe, who to believe?

1) 150 years of tested and repeatable research detailed thousands upon thousands of peer-reviewed papers, zero solid evidence to refute it and thousands of scientific advances based on it

or

2) Some ancient text written by people who hadn't even explored a third of the Earth with a highly irrational and easily debunked unscientific view of the world.

Gee, that's a tough one.

The "bible" is the greatest human contrivance ever written.
At once it can lead to Salvation or Damnation.
Depending on the point of view of the person interpretting it & their influence.

Hello. I hope you know about a new theory of evolution that encompasses both scientific findings and traditions and religious ones (all religions). If not, read about it on my webpage at http://www.homestead.com/theosophy/ascesnion.... or search for recent discussions using the word: "girasas" which was coined to refer to a higher kingdom of nature instrumental in understanding this new theory.

Thanks! Sophie's a Welsh Terrier puppy; she's about 9 weeks old in that photo.

She'll grow to about 10 kgs (22 pounds) and 40 cms (16 inches) tall at the shoulder. Born 100% black, her head, legs and tail will get progressively more tan coloured--and her "beard" will grow--until she looks exactly like a smaller version of an Airedale (i.e. a tan terrier with a black "saddle"). Interestingly, from a biological or breeding perspective, Welshes are not miniature Airedales though. They are actually the older breed and Airedales were bred "up" from them.

We had a Welsh and an Airedale previously who were each other's best buddies for nearly a decade and a half. Before Sophie is a year old we hope to get her an Airedale "big brother" too. Obviously my wife and I are very fond of the two breeds :-)

High on the list of a Welsh's many endearing qualities is a profound goofiness. They are born comedians. They love to invent and perform weird stunts--apparently for the sole purpose of entertaining the human members of their pack and making us laugh.

Hope that wasn't too much info! One time a woman asked me the same question in person and I responded in a similar long-winded fashion. When I finished, she looked at me and said, "You don't have any children, do you?" I was so busted--LOL!
