The "Civil Rights" establishment keeps it's constituents on the plantation by selling them on stupid ideas like reparations. It leaves the constituents marginlized away from the general society, and creates an "us vs. them" mentality to be exploited.

I'm beginning to think theres a (small) crooked element of the fundimentalist movement that does the same thing, by selling stupid ideas like creationism. It does the same marginalization job, and allows un-studied people to be exploited.

There is no contradiction between Genesis and Science, except in the minds of some Christians (and not many of them).

I belive Genesis 1 says "In the beginning, God created the heaven and earth". Now, that's a huge job, and Genesis describes it in around 10 English words.

I'm just amazed that some people think that that's all there is to it. That study of Gods creation (called "science") couldn't elaborate a bit more on the subject, including the details on the creation of man, which has a very interesting Godly invention called "Evolution".

That's not to say that science knows everything. But it definitly knows more than 10 words about the creation of heaven and Earth. And those 10 words, saying basically that "God did it", doesn't contradict science whatsoever.

Do you actually believe that we were not created? You think DNA just sort of wound it self up. Never mind that the "prebiotic soup" has turned out to be a total myth. You need to get an education outside of the standard discovery channel propaganda. Start here www.reasons.org

Most people are clueless as to the vastness of the Universe. If they could understand that, maybe they would start to understand that, as you say, "there is no contradiction between Genesis and Science."
