Free Republic Poll on Evolution

Free Republic ^ | 22 September 2006 | Vanity

[PatrickHenry]

Free Republic is currently running a poll on this subject:

Do you think creationism or intelligent design should be taught in science classes in secondary public schools as a competing scientific theory to evolution?

You can find the poll at the bottom of your "self search" page, also titled "My Comments," where you go to look for posts you've received.

I don't know what effect -- if any -- the poll will have on the future of this website's science threads. But it's certainly worth while to know the general attitude of the people who frequent this website.

Science isn't a democracy, and the value of scientific theories isn't something that's voted upon. The outcome of this poll won't have any scientific importance. But the poll is important because this is a political website. How we decide to educate our children is a very important issue. It's also important whether the political parties decide to take a position on this. (I don't think they should, but it may be happening anyway.)

If you have an opinion on this subject, go ahead and vote.

While it might seem almost impossible to you. Get a clue and find that you can quit talking with yourself at anytime, Wolf is always there if and when you want more. Don't be reduced to a Placemarker Placemarker

Okay so you are wet and wooly. And in case you don't get it, you have now disqualified yourself because you produce little if any data or scripture ever, anywhere.

Your assertions expose your nakendess.

Using "Answers in Guiness" as your basis for posting again?

[freedumb2003]

Oh, and you realized you pinged the RELIGION moderator when you made your little girly complaint, right? Or was that Jack Daniels inspired also?

Nothing wrong with that, but you sound a lot like CarolinaGuitarman. Or maybe you are another version of aamm because thats about how vapid you come off. She?? has quite the following over at Godless Cult central though.

What are you guys doing over there, Setting up alias accounts on a mass production line? And a DC evo decides which one he is going to pick off the rack, put on and wear that day?

Wolf

[freedumb2003]

Your Following In Christ's Footsteps is showing again.

Because Christ insulted the people He didn't like.

You know -- just like you.

[RunningWolf]

Like I said, and here you make the point. You produce little if any data or scripture ever, anywhere.

[freedumb2003]

Like I said, and here you make the point. You produce little if any data or scripture ever, anywhere.

So, please tell us all why you pinged the RELIGION moderator in your little girl whine on a News/Backroom thread.

That, my friend, is data.

And of course, your example in Christ's Way is plenty of scripture for anyone.

Well????

[freedumb2003]

Oh, and to help you see through your alcoholic haze, here is a reprise:

Look if these people have something to actually say, cant they ping us directly rather than using their 'placemaker' or sidebar conversation with another evo?

I have never said I followed in any footsteps

Hey what was that you said about Christ? Well here it is and it should not be a problem for you because as you say, you 'stand by it'

freedumb2003 Using the explicit criteria established by Religion, one can find that Christ, muhammed, charles manson and satan worshippers are all equally "correct."

[freedumb2003]

Yes, and I still stand by my intellectual anaylsis.

That has nothing to do with how I live my life.

You can run that Straw Man until the cows come home (but it is good to know that I am so important to you that you keep my posts) -- but what about your ping to the Religion Mod, O Besotted One?

[RunningWolf]

I do not keep your posts, I searched my own history to find that post of yours which by the way you have never answered except to say you stand beside it.

And that is your intellectual analysis?? Well if you say so, but I would not try to cash that one in anywhere.

Okay so I pinged the religion mod in a non religion forum, so what?? and all I asked was "Look if these people have something to actually say, cant they ping us directly rather than using their 'placemaker' or sidebar conversations with another evo?"

[RunningWolf]

So that statement of yours is your intellectual analysis or a strawman. Which is it, Both?

Thats what I tend to think of it and you have never esablrised it as anything else. In any event, either version carries equal weight for you.

[RunningWolf]

esablrised = established

[freedumb2003]

I do not keep your posts, I searched my own history to find that post of yours which by the way you have never answered except to say you stand beside it.

What else do I need to say?

And that is your intellectual analysis?? Well if you say so, but I would not try to cash that one in anywhere.

I am sorry that my consistency has caused you embarrasment or taken your favorite strawman toy away. I can tell the fact I can intellectualize (and thus argue) emotional issues is quite bemusing to those of you who can't.

Okay so I pinged the religion mod in a non religion forum, so what??

Because it shows you had no idea where you were or to whom you were speaking. And when I brought you up on it, you STILL didn't realize where you were or to whom you were speaking. Rather than be properly embarrased, you riffed off a meaningless "insult" that made no sense and had no rational basis.

and all I asked was "Look if these people have something to actually say, cant they ping us directly rather than using their 'placemaker' or sidebar conversations with another evo?"

So you whine like a little girl to the AM (or RM) because you don't like how people use FR? What exactly were you hoping Mommy would do? Come to the thread and say "hey, hey -- no more of that 'placemarker' stuff"?

But it is good to see you admit you don't try follow in Christ's footsteps. That pretty much ends any scriptural arguments you may have, since it means you are not a Christian. You are at best a CINO.

I knew you would eventually slip and lose your self-appointed moral high ground (which no one ceded anyway).

I don't know what you are going to do now. You can't base your assertions in Scripture anymore, since you don't follow them. You can't switch sides to the intelligent side of the debate, given your posting history. You have put yourself in quite a pickle.

[Jaguarbhzrd]

LOL, I have made 2 posts at DC, I am usually hanging out at game forums, but then I heard about this forum and thought, hey, I'm conservative, this could be fun.

It's not as much fun as I thought it would be, I thought conservatives were people that thought for themselves, and had actual critical thinking skills.

Looks like I was wrong. At least when it comes to science.

[freedumb2003]

So that statement of yours is your intellectual analysis or a strawman. Which is it, Both?

*sigh* OK -- put down the bottle and follow me closely. It is MY analysis. YOU use it as a strawman.

There. If you need more explanation, please let me know.

Thats what I tend to think of it and you have never esablrised it as anything else. In any event, either version carries equal weight for you.

I said, "put down the bottle."

[RunningWolf]

Look I am not 'besotted' or have a bottle to put down. But go with your best shot, which as usual for you is pretty anemic weak pathetic and off the mark.

Your 'intellectual analysis' makes a mockery of those words as generally understood.
Your words carry all the weight and intensity of a toddler slinging around a throw toy

[freedumb2003]

You cut me to the quick with your repartee.

You should have taken me up on the bottle excuse. In the absence of that, you have no excuse for your unintelligible posts.

Let's knock this off. You don't like the fact that I am Christian who can think and I don't like the fact you aren't a Christian at all but use the label as a convenience.

Lets just leave it at that.
