I admire you for stepping into this fray. I'm on the Creation side, BTW. I'll take these scientists seriously (since they tend to be atheistic in their approach) when they can empirically rule out the existence of God.
Until then, I'll just enjoy their rather entertaining reasoning.

You can lie with statistics, but not to a statistician.

Re: Intelligent Design. This can get a bit tricky.
On the one hand, you've got people arguing that this-or-that process is too complicated to have just evolved on its own. Examples include eyeballs, and the clotting of blood.
On the other hand, I mean, really. It's extremely easy to imagine that nothing ever happened. God never happened. The Universe never happened. Nothing exists. How hard is that to imagine?
Nevertheless, here we are. So. Why were we arguing? And what were we arguing about?

How's your caseload Cobalt? They haven't overloaded you have they? ;)

However, evolution and creationism are not completely unrelated. Both are trying to answer "where did we come from".
The problem, however, is that evolution is science while creationism is typically religion. There is some debate as to how evolution occured, but the debate is over minor details. There are countless creation stories, many of them wildly different.

Teaching creationism would be OK. I like the Navaho version, but the Hopi version is cool as well. They make the '7 days and 7 nights' thing look pretty boring in comparison.

>How are we supposed to function as a nation if half the people aren't taught what the other half believe
By that reasoning, we should teach that 'reality' TV shows are really real, and that AOL is a good internet provider... (shudders)

I must have been tripping in the 70s then. Nice try.
To: Mr Crontab
Non sequitor.
To: Dales
The alternative, according to the given definition of 'creationism', is that matter [science wants to guess] came out of nowhere, and improbably organized itself into living molecules, and then impossibly 'evolved upwards by pure chance. Who admits to have faith in this dogma?
To: Dimensio
The Darwinite Myth IS religion..not true science.
To: jennyp
That reveals a lot about your thinking...that Marx has 'logical and scientific' support!
To: metacognative
What does Marx have to do with anything on this thread?

"Darwinite Myth?" I'm not familiar with that term. Please describe it.

You make a lot of bold statements, care to back them up?

Speaking of backing up...what would you call belief that you can turn algae into ecosystems. Isn't it like lead into gold? The world is obviously running down. Who would believe that evolution could build it up if not a superstitious darwinite?
To: metacognative
Running down? What are you talking about?
Did the sun go out while I wasn't looking? Nope, just looked outside, there seemes to be just as much sun today as there was yesterday.
Sun=energy, therefore, as long as the sun shines, the earth will not run down.
Not sure where you came up with such an idea, but it is ridiculous.
