You are all over the map tonight.

Some rest and a 1/5th of "tonic" should cure that.

I think you will make a fine teacher. Just pray a lot and you'll do fine.

As I have statd the speed of light in a vaccum is a constant (non changing). What is even stranger is that no matter how fast you are travelling (even 90% the speed of light) The speed of light relative to you does not change. This is one of the fallouts of Special Relativity.

"You can say that implication isn't real all you want."



BINGO! Except YOU are the one that "implicated".

Go find out why. We already know, but you need the private time to work it all out.

[goodseedhomeschool]

LOL

[Derrald]

I'll take your advice then. night night and sweet dreams. Oh, and tell me how your hat tastes come morning.

I have always thought that creation and evolution theories are not actually in opposition.

Nytol™

[goodseedhomeschool]

Aric I just have to know, please. Are you a muslim?

"I have always thought that creation and evolution theories are not actually in opposition."

Good luck teaching that in a classroom.

[ApesForEvolution]

Thanks for the insight.

However, I find it just as hard to believe anything an evotard says about anything, as you might about someone who literally believes we were Created as God said we all were.

Believing the BIG and EVOLVING evolie is a study in itself about self-deception...and I bought into it until the truth set me free.

No matter how much research I did into the theories and hypotheses of the BIG LIE (fragmented, discombobulated and ever changing I might add), I could find no logic in it whatsoever.

Do scientists still study logic during their education?

Ultimately, at the end of the day, there is NO evidence that supports the BIG lie...

[Aric2000]

I will get defensive because I tire of being attacked because I UNDERSTAND science, and Understand that evolution is the BEST SCIENTIFIC theory AT THIS TIME, to explain the available evidence.

And because of that, you fanatics LABEL ME AN ATHEIST, and I find it offensive. I am NOT an atheist, have NEVER been an atheist, and NEVER will claim to be an atheist.

It offends me, so YES, I will get defensive.

And my beliefs, my faith, is MY business and no one elses, I don't care if you believe like I do, If you are happy in your religion, then more power to you, but to say that I am an atheist because I do NOT believe EXACTLY like you do, is BEYOND offensive.

[Rudder]

I think most of the conflict between religion and science regarding creation vs evolution is a false dichotmy--at least from the human perspective (you work with what you got).

Science can (and does wonderful job) elaborate great and precise detail about the nature of the currently existing physical universe. When it comes to the creation of that universe, science is at complete loss. To "understand" that void, many of us (as it is with the rest of humanity) rely upon faith in a belief. Science and faith can easily co-exist.

[ApesForEvolution]

This rules out muslim then. I have yet to meet a practicing muslim that denies allah his 'due'....

[Aric2000]

No, I am NOT a Muslim....

[ALS]

You were asked if you are a muslim. Going into a hissy fit over atheism just reveals your real weaknesses, in public.

[gore3000]

Gravity is a proven, tested, and falsiable scientific law. -plusone-

Actually, they are still trying to unify gravity with all the other forces.

Which is beside the point. All theories have not been unified, perhaps never will be. Has the theory of evolution been unified with all other scientific theories????????????

[ALS]

"No, I am NOT a Muslim...."

you sure? I mean, the way you ended that statement and all...

[ApesForEvolution]

"Science and faith can easily co-exist."

Only so long as one discounts God's Word, even when science affirms it.

[goodseedhomeschool]

I love you in the Lord no matter how much you hate me. I am just so very curious about your religion. I figured at one time you to be Hindu, never really an atheist, only because you keep saying you are not. I won't even reply to your comment about how you "understand" science because you have not shown that in any post you have made. Are you maybe a muslim? Why do you not at least state your faith once and for all. I won't "use it against you". I just want to know is all.
