obesity wrote: <quoted text> Its should be taught in a history type class its does make people think, just like reading all the books we had to read in english class that weren't factual. its also makes people think outside of the box and in shades of gray rather than black and white. Evolution does mean change. Human and apes may have a common ancestor, but we did not come from apes. if science of human origins were full of absolute truth, there would be no arguing in the scientific community. If you teach religion in public schools, which religions should get the most play or be the primary religions taught? What should churches teach then, if they are no longer needed to teach about their religions? No, we did not evolve from apes. We evolved along with them from a common ancestor. Lots of things make people think. Nude women make me think and then stop thinking, but that isn't reason to teach the subject in school. Your criteria is a little too broad to use in determining public school curricula. I will work under the assumption that you went to public school for your education. If this is true and yet here you are discussing science, religion and stuff that makes you think, what does that say for the need to teach religion in public school? Yes, I know that it is an n of 1, but I am just trying to make you think. There will always be arguments in science. But the existence of argument over a particular subject does not bring down the foundations of science as some would alledge.

Well, then I am left to wonder why you even bother to post on here.

See? It is so obvious from this exchange that Darwinism isn't about science. It's about a belief in an ideology. They don't need any evidence. I asked if macroevolution was ever observed. No evidence.

The actual information presented to you, however, has been akin to a global deluge. You like to pretend things never happened but they did. You like to pretend you never lose, but you always do.

Urban Cowboy wrote: Even Richard Dawkins says it can't be observed! Here are some things Dawkins has actually said: “Evolution could so easily be disproved if just a single fossil turned up in the wrong date order." "The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity." “We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realize that we are apes.” “Why would an all-powerful creator decide to plant his carefully crafted species on islands and continents in exactly the appropriate pattern to suggest, irresistibly, that they had evolved and dispersed from the site of their evolution?” “Even if it were true that evolution, or the teaching of evolution, encouraged immorality that would not imply that the theory of evolution was false.” Deal with those then we can deal with your fantasy quotes.

I declare victory regarding the (il)legitimacy of creation science On the grounds that although UC refuses to concede honestly, he does so unwittingly and implicitely by irrational deception and avoidance.

Only creationists haven't evolved. They don't believe in evolution for a good reason. It's because they haven't evolved, they still have the intelligence of a primitive ape. Only we have evolved to our present form of intelligence.

They're bloody storytellers, yet some think that their stories are actually true. Unfortunately for them, they're still stuck in the primeval ages, believing in magic, mysticism, and bloody gods!
