Global warming is the most current form of junk science. Science is trying to pass it off as a done deal and that humans are for sure the ones who are causing global warming. It is full of politics and dishonesty.

Again, if you know anything about science history, there are countless examples of science theory being proven wrong after time. I am not here to give you a science history lesson.

Science is just not equipped to deal with most questions. It is as simple as that.

I just recognize that most of science is junk science, and history has proven this time and time again.

Yes, science theories are revised or proven wrong by *other scientists*. And around and around we go.

I would say the reason science does not want to admit that is because they are anti-religious.

The reason you want to find flaws in evolution appears that you are religious;

Still, Hendrix at least considers the word "science" to be a pejorative. Usually when Creationists want to deliver the ultimate attack on evolution, they call it "religion"

So its not a done deal. Evolution theory could be proven to be wrong. That is honesty. Let's just admit that and I am happy.

Fool, there was no science involved in any of that. That stuff's a result of inventing, which doesn't require science. It's more like, um, well, you think something up and "poof" there you have it.

Well, when you have faith that something is correct without positive proof and you are dogmatic about it, that really starts to look like some kind of religion to me. It should not be science, but that is how science is being operated in today's world--more of a faith than what it should be.

You are equivalent to a DUmmie who says, "I don't believe that Bush set up a conspiracy to fake the 9/11 attacks, but I think that people should be taught about the flaws in the 'al-Qaeda Theory' of the event."

"Evolution theory could be proven to be wrong."

Could it be proven wrong? Yes, in the sense that anything could be proven wrong. Who knows, eventually the existence of God could be proven wrong. Has it? No. Is it likely? No.

To suggest that evolution is even close to being fully correct is dishonest in my view. It is a very primitive theory. That is nowhere even in the ballpark with believing anything about conspiracies with the world trade center. Nice try though.

where truth is taught

I know! Thank goodness you're free to believe the earth was created in six days about six thousand years ago!

And science does not have the answers or the ability to find the answers to most things, so science has very little credibility at finding answers.
...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.

Would you say that you are anti-science?

It is not likely, but we must teach that it is not known to be true as well. It is a primitive scientific theory with lots of unanswered questions. That is my point. All of you people who want to teach it is a done deal with absolutely no flaws are the ones that are being dishonest.

Can you believe, that they actually believe in dinosaurs and cavemen and that the earth revolves around Sun. Finally they are put to bed, along with Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus and all those other charlatan

You'd better not try to tell me the earth isn't flat, either. If you do, the Easter Bunny ain't bringing you squat next year. :D

Perhaps he was bullied by nerds in junior high?

I recognize that science is not very well equipped to answer most questions and often produces answers that are totally incorrect and it is often not objective because of politics, etc. I don't know if that is anti-science. I think of it as reality.

The last visitor we had from Kansas, a Mr. Fred Phelps, informed us we were all going to Hell anyway no matter what we did.

What's the matter with Kansas? Nothing. I live there. Great place.
