You and your evil Satanic-Materialist-Pro-Evolutionary Prime Number Placemaker divisble by 100 has been successfully foiled!
With sour cream sauce.
I could imagine this movie in midnight showings -- like Rocky Horror, but without the transsexuals. Everyone shows up with their towel, a book of Vogon poetry, a cup of almost but not entirely unlike tea, a brick for not hanging in the air, and their Palm Pilot loaded with The Book.
AARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
You have destroyed the symmetry of this sequence. O the pain ...
"I don't want to see other countries pass us by."
That isn't going to happen. Anybody going into biology needs a little something called college, and guess what, evolution is taught in college.
Students won't be hurt at all, regardless of what happens at lower educational levels.
Evolution is not a critical thing you need to succeed in life, unlike adding or reading and writing.
If you are going into science, you need to know it. But, no college...or hardly any..., not even conservative Christian ones, will refuse to teach evolution.
"Kansas will be tarred and feathered by the media as the hayseed state."
Maybe I am just silly, but I am proud when my state gets attacked for standing up for principles. I really don't care what the media thinks about it. I like pissing them off.
"Manweiler said he was put off by the forum speakers' "lack of humility.'"
This is exactly why I don't listen to evolutionists much.
They treat non-evolutionists like children or ignorant boobs rather than human beings. There are a few good evolutionists on FR, and because they were willing to treat me like a human being, I listened to what they had to say. I have been impressed by their arguments. I have not jumped ship to evolution yet, but I have more of an open mind because of those who don't condescend to me or call me a religious wacko etc.
If evolutionists think arrogance wins over people, they are sadly mistaken. Treating people as individuals worthy of respect and appealing to reason and logic wins people over.
Americans are abandoning science?
You have got to be kidding me.
I am a conservative young person that believes currently in old-earth creationism.
However, I also have an open mind and do find evolution has some pretty strong evidence. Not enough to convince me it has to be right, but it isn't on a stack of cards either.
Genesis' "day" could be a long period of time....the Hebrew does not mean a literal day necessarily.
