Without the sarcasm, then, how *did* you decide God was not with the Nazis?

Sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming, "It's not science! Junk science! Make it go away!" doesn't address the problem and doesn't convince voters.

No it doesn't convince the voters. That's why the evo/atheists end up suing creationists and Christians into silence in the public school system, because they couldn't convince the voters and get their own way otherwise.

You should get your head examined because it was you that brought Sara Palin up in the first place and politics and so on...

I was not long out of high school at the time. No one knew what GRID (and that’s what they called it, then) was at the time. He didn’t delay any research. He could not have acknowledged an unknown. He and Nancy were very good friends with a victim of the disease, Rock Hudson.

You’re being too credulous regarding a leftist myth.

Creationism, since it is based on the Christian Bible, doesn’t have a place in the public school system. The public school system, which must educate children of parents who belong to many different faiths and none at all, must remain neutral.

There isn’t anyone stopping you from sending your child(ren) to a private, religious school or homeschooling.

Dressing Creationism up in scientific jargon - that is, Intelligent Design - doesn’t convince the scientific community or judges, either.

Show me an atheist that supports Intelligent Design and you may be able to convince me that ID isn’t dressed up Creationism.

Are there police stationed at your church refusing to allow the congregation to enter?

You name one of the few respites remaining, and think you've scored a point.

And, do you honestly believe that Pope John Paul, II uncritically accepted the entirety of ToE, without exception? I can assure you he did not.

I’m familiar with the Dover case. Creationists attempted to smuggle Creationism into a public school and had their asses handed to them.

Every day I wake up breathing, I've won. Every time people reveal themselves and don't know it, I've won all I need to. I'm not greedy and I'm not prideful. I'm mostly grateful.

Atheism sort of precludes a designer, unless you're talking space aliens or something. See Scientology.

Creationism isn't exclusive to Christiainity, nor do Christians universally subscribe to a single creation doctrine.

Christianity has a place in public education, along with other religions as philosophy, where IMHO, it proves to be head and shoulders above the other religions of the world. But it is not science.

That qualifies you among the survivors.

That seems to be a weakness of the evos for everything from that to the flat earth accusations against creationists to the creationists wanting to take us back to the dark ages.

Are we going to go over this, all over again? I thought you and I settled this.

Maybe you can work Creationism into a comparative religion class - Christians believe X, Muslims believe Y, Buddhists believe Z - or as part of the history of science - as an example of primitive beliefs on the origin of earth/life - but you can’t teach it as science because it isn’t science.

Period.

Deal with it.

Then you do have an idea of what I’m talking about after all.

I thought so.

Maybe you forgot how badly Sarah Palin was mocked - rightly or wrongly - for her supposed Creationist beliefs? Whether or not she is a Creationist (that's open to debate), she was mocked and belittled for being a Creationist. You can't expect the American people to elect a person to a position of power when they believe something that is rejected by mainstream science. Same goes for climate change. Instead of rejecting the reality of climate change, the debate should be on the political response. It's impossible to have a voice in a political debate when you refuse to acknowledge the reality that led to the debate. Sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming, "It's not science! Junk science! Make it go away!" doesn't address the problem and doesn't convince voters.

I know why Sarah was mocked as the mocking MSM proudly proclaimed that the overwhelming majority of 40 and under COLLEGE educated crowd were Bama supporters. Animal Farm is reality, the most 'fittest to survive' are the ones more equal than the rest. Enjoy your victory.

Now the scientific methodology became precedence by the Supremes as only acceptable dogma in their houses of worship around 40 + years ago. And the taxpayer taking to fund your houses of worship has produced the perfect election. You all wanted God out of your means and methods and so you now have it, be happy.

The majority of Bama followers are NOW going to get to live under that scientific methodology.

And as Bama proclaimed you all would get back to 'real' science, most likely it will require 'hate crimes' legislation to punish and retrain anybody who knows and stands against a crack pot theory of primordial soup.

Kinda like Daniel getting tossed in the proverbial lions den.
