Two hints:

1) This would also be a very bad thread to engage in flamewarring or flamebaiting.

2) It would also be wrong to try to guess my stance from me posting this article.

What is wrong with questioning evolution's veracity?

Isn't the search for truth inimical to lock step acceptance of dogma?

PING. [This ping list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and sometimes for other science topics. FReepmail me to be added or dropped.]

I was doing some research earlier today trying to find statistics on evolution/creationism and religion.

One of the things that I determined is that the pollsters for the most part don't play fair when they set up the polls.

People in general want the education system to be fair, to present all sides of a debate when all sides have a more or less equal shot at being true. They don't like authority figures playing "hide the ball" or mistreating valid points of view just because the people who have those points of view aren't also authority figures.

But if you turn the polls around, they don't want their kids being taught non-science.

It's a fascinating problem, especially since the extremes on both sides DO play fast and loose, aka "hide the ball." Made worse because both extremes say, "moi?"

It would also be wrong to try to guess my stance from me posting this article.

Since both your evolution article and your 'creationism' article favor evolution, methinks we can.

[metacognative]

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?

Amazing.

Four threads up in two days. Over 400 replies made on them.

Not a single abuse report. Not a single 'ping' to the moderators about abuse. Not a single email about abuse.

You know what that tells me?

It tells me that there was never a reason for all the crap that usually goes on in these threads. Good. Let's keep it this way.
