Creationism to be taught on GCSE science syllabus (you can't keep a good idea down)

[Greg o the Navy]

AN EXAMINATIONS board is including references to “creationism” in a new GCSE science course for schools.

Nicely done.

[phantomworker]

You guys have some real finesse!

Sporks?

[phantomworker]

Spork?

[Boiler Plate]

Vade,
Don't get your panties in a bunch. I understand you have problems with logic and science and I was just trying to help you out seeing you are getting old and feeble minded.
Warmest Regards,
Boiler Plate

Sporks?

SPORKS???

Sporks are the invention of the evil one - Pizza the Hut

side-note: didja know that the account "From many - One." prevents the creation of an account called "fromm anyone"?

Squeaky must be pissed about that.

[phantomworker]

Be careful! From many - One. , Squeaky will be pissed:

[From many - one.]

You tried?

Oh, and sporks are runcible spoons.

[King Prout]

but not rinseable... and thus unclean.

[King Prout]

oh, on the fromm issue - I often refuse to use spaces or punctuation or capitals in the TO bar, as it takes too long and is not necessary.

as a consequence, if i add your userID to a ping, I type [ frommanyone ]

I find it interesting that every UserID here must be completely unique in its bare letter sequence.

[phantomworker]

Jeez, runcible is actually a word. LOL!

Runcible:

Early system for mathematics on IBM 650.

See also FORTRUNCIBLE, IT.

[phantomworker]

frommanyone is a hard one to type. Clever name, but hard to type. I often just copy and paste. ;)

[balrog666]

Since you are familiar with the subject, what are O-levels? Just wondering as I hear the phrase on some of those BBC shows.

[balrog666]

D@mn, I should have read ahead. Nevermind...

[From many - one.]

The Straight Dope: What's a runcible spoon?
Address:http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a961108a.html

E-bay sells runcible spoons on occasion, from the 1800's so they antedate the spork, patented in 1970 and the army invention of 1940. Google images has one on the 5th link page, but it's outdated and the page won't come up.

Before you ask: My granddaughters think I know about everything and theheard in in a nursery rhyme.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Sporks are oft with foons found.

[phantomworker]

LOL! Who gnew all the to-do about sporks?!!

"What's all this I'm hearing about`Foons'?

A foon is the inverse of the spork, and is created through a process known as fooning..."

(Unless you meant buffoon!) LOL

[phantomworker]

How interesting! Thanks. Are you sure you don't know everything? :p)

[Fester Chugabrew]

That's just moronic.

What is moronic is to consider the idea that organized matter performing specific functions, when construed as possibly the result of intelligent design, is a serious threat to education in general and science in particular. Your claim that every single creation story must be given an equal hearing in the classroom is bogus, just like the claim of some that the idea of intelligent design automatically stifles scientific curiosity. In an effort to defend what is merely a shaping principle as opposed to hard science you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I foresee a Great Schism between those who believe a spoon my be used in conjunction with a fork, and the fork-purist extremists.

It is not a schism. Any who would use a spoon at the base of a fork while twirling the offerings of the FSM were never with us.
