"So, how do you heat your cave?"
Inventions are not the same thing as science. Yes, we have invented lots of things, but that does not have anything to do with science. Most inventions were not done with the scientific method or science.
But within its limited realm, it is very very good at finding answers. Remember recently the ToE was used to predict what to look for and where to look, and now we have yet another transitional fossil, Tiktaalik. That's more in one year thn ID or creationism has done in 200 (or 5000).
The fact that something is not science does not bother me because most of science is junk anyway and it is full of politics and dishonesty. Science is like the old media--it is losing its credibility to be objective.
An interesting scientific experiment would be to measure the pH of your grapes.
This one leaves me speechless.
The truth often does that to people.
So how did Noah pick up the kiwis, wallabies, kangaroos & kookaburras?
It takes a modern diesel powered containership 3 weeks to get from LA to Sydney.
And if Noah picked up 2 dingoes, didn't Dingoes eat his baby?
Careful, don't do anything you might later regret
What about the dishonesty in falsely representing creationisn or ID as though they were science? What about the dishonesty in claiming thta there is a growing ID movement within science?
"So how did Noah pick up the kiwis, wallabies, kangaroos & kookaburras?"
I don't know and I don't care. Again, it has nothing to do with religion with me. I just get tired of our society believing that science can produce answers and that science produces good answers. Most of science is junk science.
What - specifically - are you referring to?
Bullshit. The book's theme is that Kansans are stupid for not voting Democrat to get govt handouts.
I don't think ID is science and I don't really care about teaching ID. I just want evolution to be taught that it is just a theory that has flaws. It is not a fact. For science to pass it off as a done deal is dishonest.
The reason you want to find flaws in evolution appears that you are religious; why are you trying to take all of science down with evolution?
Do you really think trashing all of science for personal religious reasons is either productive, or a good idea? (Be careful what you wish for... )
Where do you get any religion from anything that I have posted? I just want honesty. Can't you people at least be honest and admit that evolution theory has flaws. If you cannot, then you prove my point. In fact, you have turned science into a religion (faith in things).
I'm just asking for some examples. You say most of it's junk. You must have some examples in mind. Care to share?
People should not have to evolve if they don't want to.
Even if the criticisms are unfounded, fallacy-ridden, and driven by non-(or anti-)scientific motives? Wouldn't that be like allowing an anti-semite teach our children about the Holocaust?
that' why it's called a theory
For science to pass it off as a done deal is dishonest.
When over 99% of biologists subscribe to it, that's a done deal. To imply otherwise is dishonest. At the level of presentation appropriate for a high school, there are no disputes among biologists.
