I think it was about 6000 years ago.
I think 738,
may be a candidate
THE WAY THOSE DEVIANT STRING THEORISTS TALK, THE UNIVERSE COULD HAVE BEEN CREATED TOMORROW.
That's why we have the Humanities ...
Can't absolve Darwin from the impulse that gave rise to eugenics. Just look at some of the language of the Descent of Man, not to speak of the personal relationship with the founder of the eugenics movement.
That's why we have theology.
Thousands of posts and you think you have finally found one. But note what he said. He was referring not to God, But to your "GOD", that is your warped interpretation of God.
I guess you would also say that Dr. Teller cannot be absolved from the terrorists possible use of nuclear weapons on the US.
Why are all the creos so misinformed?
You know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna not only believe in this brilliantly sensible theory, but I will force public schools to teach it as a "science".
I think he's got Darwin confused with Martin Luther.
Perfect example of someone rabidly making belittling statements about God on an evolution thread:

But, eventually it boils down to accepting that matter always existed or God did.>
Woah, wait a minute. We have "matter". That much is directly observable. Where did you get this "God" thing? How did you derive its existence? What are its properties? What does this "God" thing's existence (or lack thereof) and/or properties have to do with the theory of evolution (which has nothing to say whatsoever on whether or not matter always existed)? ----------------------------------------------
Dimensio, I recall you having a fit making snarky remarks on the Butterfly thread too
Uh, theology is part of the Humanities ...
It may be backed up by "SOME" evidence, but not enough to make it a law. In other words, a theory is just someone's guess, usually an educated guess, about a body of evidence. Until there is enough evidence to prove, beyond any doubt, that under the exact same circumstances, the same body of evidence will yield the same results every time, it is still just a guess. The reason scientific laws are laws is the indisputable fact that the same actions will yield the same results every time. On the other hand, theories are unproven, and one has to accept their premise based solely on faith because there is no observable proof. In that mega-dump posting earlier in this thread, all of that information was impressive, but not even the author can state that his assertions are true based on observable evidence while his supposition was occurring. His evidence comes from the fossil records, but I can state that the fossil record does NOT show evolution, but a series of individual creatures who have similar attributes and my theory is just as valid as his. After all, I observe that the creatures exist in the fossil record, I observe that there is a similarity, but my conclusion is different. If my theory is not as valid as his, explain why.
quote Please show me ONE textbook that teaches evolution as fact, not theory. /quote
A theory is taught as one of many interpretations. If there are no alternatives supplied within a source material, then one must conclude that the only material supplied is factual, not theoretical.
Look we are on a witch hunt and we damn well will find a witch whether you like it or not!
Oh, in lieu of providing any examples you make up a bunch of tripe.
Again I complained about both creationists AND evolutionists trying to shove their positions down each others throats.
You at no time asked what my personal views on the subject.
You inferred what my stance is.
If you only knew what kind a of a geeky science girl I am..........LOL Anyway, you're the West Coast so you win.
It's 2:15 A.M. here. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
YOU ARE A STRING THEORIST! I KNEW IT!
Now I understand how you come to the conclusion that the Bible is fact.
