Texas Creationists Finally Defeated by Evolutionists

this was completely bias. i thought it was hilerious. evolution is completely unacceptable by the standards of "scientific method", and so thus can only be a theory. maybe even a hypothesis. creation is the same. i think we should leave them both out of the picture and focus on the present. we could advance so much farther if we were focusing on our future as opposed to our past. nobody really cares where we came from when they're trying to invent something, so why are we even trying to figure it out. all of us arganisms are obviously much alike and were probably created by the same thing, so who cares. our decent is part of most peoples religion, and if we want so badly to separate church and school, why are we bringing in evolution? all it will do is cause religious arguement among the young children, and some of them will probably doubt their beliefs which could lead to family issues later. this is stupid. lets move on.

Evolution is not unacceptable by the standards of science. It is one of the, and arguable, the strongest theory in science. Theory is the highest level in science, theories explain laws, and facts, and the facts and laws support the theories.
And focusing on the present needs a study of the past. Understanding the past of our planet will allow us to understand the future. Understanding the theory of evolution is needed for the germ theory, is needed to understand why and how we have new strands of viruses. Evolution is why we have malaria breaking out in cambodia, and if it comes to the U.S it will kill many people.
An understanding of evolution is needed for genetics, understanding immunities, genetic variants, maternal and paternal blood testing. Without evolution, our studies do not make sense.
Evolution is nothing like a religion, religion believes what it believes based on faith, and statements contradictory to nature, evolution is the study of life, and the past and progress of it. Evolution is the explanation of everything. It is such a large field, im not sure why people who know nothing about it think they know enough to say its not true, or its a religion. Its like someone walking into a cell biologists lab and saying that the experiment they are working on is wrong, the scientist asks why? And the person has no answer, just that he doesnt understand it.

To answer your question Rachel, it's far easier to pass on serious questions such as "where do we come from?" and "what/who created us?" to a higher power, than to spend hundreds of years, as a race, trying to find the perennial missing link, and digging up all over the place, just to find something to support your theories.

And religions do not encourage this type of mentality, because many people who live the church do so because they now understand something they feared up to this point. And, to some extent, is fear that drives people's faiths, even tough they don't admit it - fear of death and of what comes next mostly.

If creation myths are taught in school, they

1. must be taught in a religion class, not in science, because God and gods are invisible, and not subject to observation, a crucial element of science

2. All creation myths have to be considered, not just the Jewish, but the Babylonian, Native American, Aztec, and so on.


In fact Jewish tradition holds that it is death to look upon the face of God. Moses was permitted to look upon the back of God as He was walking away. We cannot replicate the observation, which is crucial to science. We don't even get Moses to tell us what he saw. All we have is a book some people believe in and others discredit.

You are only going to get a gut feeling, folks. That's all folks. No proof. But that's good enough for me to get saved. If you're waiting for scientific proof of Hell and salvation, you're a goner.

You'll probably just believe in what you want to, anyway. I think I do. Who doesn't want to believe in a paradise with mansions and a feast, where sins are forgiven, all imperfections are gone? Jesus waited to postpone the war against Satan so you would get saved, like the surrendering Iraqis in Desert Storm in 1991, treated well under the Geneva Convention (or so they told us, food, water, medical care, asylum in the West).

of course evolution is a theory, so is relativity and is the best explanation of the current state of the world. religion is, however just a belief,but, amusingly has evolved over the years to its present state.jews believe they are the chosen people, christians believe that jesus was the son of god and could walk on water(does that make criss angel the new jesus) and quite frankly i don't care what the rest believe because it all comes down to an invisible god who can do magic and lives somewhere and tells people how to live there lives. i don't need that. i am not saying that you shouldn't have it if it makes you happy ,but, i don't need god.there is no god and don't tell me god believes in me cos that is just not true.

Scientist: am looking for the truth. I may not find it, but I will get closer and closer to it.
Religious: I am looking for my psychological comfort. Whatever makes me feel comfortable and give my life a well defined structure IS the truth.
