Unfortunately, I dont think evolution is gonna win over creationism in this country. The battle with fundamentalists who think creationism is a science, can never be won.
"Iiiii, want those crevo threads all right, on freerepublic every day!"
Without a concept of God then, our Constitution and Bill of Rights are both meaningless.
500 years ago they thought the Earth was the center of the universe.
Give 'em some time.
True, I hope they spare the gravitational theory at least ;)
Why's that?
And who claimed Martin Luther to be the Word?
Again, when we say "sunrise" does it make us ignorant? Or does it simply imply the casual observation a laymen would make?
"500 years ago they thought the Earth was the center of the universe"
So did your kind my friend. For eons mathematics didn't use "0" as a number. Would that be from religion or from scientific understanding?
We both change, it isn't one way.
Scientific theories are supposed to be based on empirical observation. If evolution is true such mutations should be happening all over the place. So if there's a lack of such, it should be seen as significant.
Is that the only thing holding you back from accepting the theory of evolution? Would evidence of that change your mind?
I would say that would be one major hurdle. There's still others, such as the mathematical likelihood of each and every such mutation building on the last one and being passed on to successive generations without the particular variation dying etc. So no, not by itself. I'm only asking about micro-evolution, not macro.
See the post I was responding to.
I take it you are now not even pretending to be a Roman Catholic?

He could be typing random letters onto the keyboard until they sound nice.
hmm such a concept may actually be related to evolution. Things keep on being put together until there is an even fit. The pieces are not linearly goal oriented but they are arriving nontheless.
Heh, that should be placed at the beginning of every evo, crevo, and assorted other tensely themed theological/biological/physiological thread.
And where did the "things" come from? When did they start "making sense"?
And I doubt he just typed random letters, given how well he communicated as a noob. He was very professional. He planned his name.
Just click on his name and find his posts on this site. You'll find evidence that you are correct.
"saying that all who accept evolution are on the liberal-left?"
No. I'm saying a boycott of this legitimate public hearing is an example of how the left doesn't want dialogue. Of course, some of these people may be conservative on other issues, but would bet against that, and in any case, my main point stands.
An additional point: Many intelligent-design people DO "accept evolution." Let's be fair here.
In the talk I attended, by the Grand Designer Accolyte, Behe, the definition changed through the talk. It was like looking at a cloud and seeing pictures of a horse and duck.
