Three antievolutionists have been appointed to a six-member committee to review the draft set of Texas state science standards, and defenders of the integrity of science education in the Lone Star state are livid. "The committee was chosen by 12 of the 15 members of the board of education, with each panel member receiving the support of two board members," as the Dallas Morning News (October 16, 2008) explains. Six members of the board "aligned with social conservative groups" chose Stephen C. Meyer, the director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, Ralph Seelke, a biology professor at the University of Wiconsin, Superior, and Charles Garner, a chemistry professor at Baylor University.
Meyer, Seelke, and Garner are all signatories of the Discovery Institute-sponsored "Dissent from Darwinism" statement. Meyer and Seelke are also coauthors of Explore Evolution: The Arguments For and Against Neo-Darwinism (Hill House, 2008), which, like Of Pandas and People, is a supplementary textbook that is intended to instill scientifically unwarranted doubts about evolution. A recent review by biologist John Timmer summarized, "But the book doesn't only promote stupidity, it demands it. In every way except its use of the actual term, this is a creationist book." Garner reportedly told the Houston Press (December 14, 2000) that he "criticizes evolutionary theory in class."
Meyer and Seelke also testified in the 2005 "kangaroo court" hearings held by three antievolutionist members of the Kansas state board of education, in which a parade of antievolutionist witnesses expressed their support for the so-called minority report version of the state science standards (written with the aid of a local "intelligent design" organization), complained of repression by a dogmatic evolutionary establishment, and claimed to have detected atheism lurking "between the lines" of the standards..

I'm happy exposing your agenda and pseudo-scientific assertions. No matter how desperate your pleas, I'm not changing the subject.
I'm not aware of Einstein ever claiming light speed as a disproof of God.
I'll call your bluff. Produce the quote.
Or just continue spluttering.
Just running from the question. LOL!
Just ignoring your attempt to change the subject and run from the beating you've been taking.
I'll call your bluff. Produce the quote.
I never said he did. That was just your fuzzy thinking.
Do you think that Einstein believed in the same God you do?
He didn't. The false assertion that light speed disproves God was yours.
Einstein claimed to believe in a God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.
It isn't a false assertion. The fact that no information can travel faster than the speed of light disproves the existence of an omnipotent God.
Unless you show an example of information transmitted faster than the speed of light, you have to conclude that your omnipotent God doesn't exist.
You better tell Einstein.
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings." -- Albert Einstein
Mojoave, do you believe in a God who concerns himself with the actions of human beings?
Light speed proves that God is only manifest in the material but that he doesn't concern himself with the actions of human beings?
That's utterly bizarre.
Unless you show an example of information transmitted faster than the speed of light, you have to conclude that your omnipotent God doesn't exist.
Huh? So far science only allows man's small mind even the recognition of the speed of light, it wasn't that long ago, man didn't have electric lights, telephones, much less cell phones.
And recent reproducible experimentation has demonstrated instantaneous action at a distance.
And here ladies and gentlemen, we have evidence of failed godless liberal NEA public schools, solid irrefutable evidence.
“Gravity Well”
You're too busy running away.
You’re even beating yourself with your self contradictions.
Light speed proves that God is only manifest in the material but that he doesn't concern himself with the actions of human beings?
That is your answer to the question, do you believe in a God who concerns himself with the actions of human beings?
If you don't want to answer a question just say so, I understand why it would be embarrassing to you.
How do you measure the speed of spiritual light?
Please look deep inside yourself for a moment. You don’t want religion messing up your lifestyle right?
The truth is that worshipping God sets you free. Sin might bring short term pleasure, but it also brings longterm misery even while you live. Take it from a sinner. I have womanized. It made me miserable. I have committed other sins. They made me miserable and screwed my life up.
I wonder what the speed of sound disproves?
