"I couldn't find the logic in your post."

Why am I not surprised?

Man that is fantastic!

One of the posters on FreeRepublic was amazed at the "religious fervor" of the secular zealots. lol

[RunningWolf]

They noticed it too? /sarc> heh heh heh!

They call us the pajama crusaders! (well among other things)

maniacal laugh!

I didn't exactly infer that from TrailofTears's post.

I do when I read the threats that exist between the lines of openly expressed hatred. If you don't, then you must be a member of ToT's tribe. One of hose who want to use the police power of the state to force the teaching of religious dogma as scientific possibility in a class that is, essentially, scientific speculation. The problem is not what you want to teach, but where and why you want to teach it. Evolutionary theory is perfectly willing to stay away from the church and out of the Bible, but ID'ers cannot make the same claim regarding the science class and the science book. You ID's are on a "Jihad".

Not unlike Muslims, you ID'ers consider Evo's to be infidels. N'est-ce pas? It's not too much of a leap to consider that you ID'ers would willingly use violence, if you could, to please your Deity and satisfy the needs that drive you to eliminate those who seek to answer the mysteries of the Deity's creation by scientific observation and speculation.

Christianity is not a threat to Islam, yet Islam considers Christianity its enemy. Likewise Evolution is not Christianity's enemy, but Christians that promote Intelligent Design consider Evolution to be Christianity's enemy. William Dembski may have more in common with Osama Bin Laden than he does with Jesus Christ. Think about it.

Can I take that to mean that you and your kind, would be perfectly willing to behead me.

No not really, only in your own mind. Wolf

I think it went over their heads. It wasn't in a text book.

[Sun]

It does seem that so many of the evos are atheists or agnostics. Not all, though.

I used to think that it was possible that God might have used evolution, but the more I read about the evolution theory, with all it's holes, I came to the conclusion that it is bunk.

However, I have respect for sincere folks who believe in God, as well as evolution, but they are wrong.

There is a difference between scientific proof and scientific theory.

[Sun]

"It is funny how they are so insistent that the other side not be heard. They know they live and die on the idea of "theory" so they, like clinton, do their thing and promote the idea that a theory is not a theory. Is is not is."

Bravo!!

[RunningWolf]

That is somewhat or pretty much the route I followed too, and not without much reading and observation.

One part, go to the big museums and take a look at some of the work, and see the great reaches from 'the evidence'.

There is evidence alright, of much greater things than evolution.

Could you clarify by what you mean by "holes"? Or perhaps refer to a previous post where you enumerated a few?

There is a difference between scientific proof and scientific theory.

There is no "proof" in science. No explanation ever rises higher than the level of "theory". All explanations are potentially falsifiable, or they are not scientific.

"Theory in crisis" = the hoax is circling the drain...

[185JHP]

BTTT

[Dimensio]

"Theory in crisis" = the hoax is circling the drain... You'll find that critics have been steadily predicting the "imminent demise" of the theory of evolution since Darwin first proposed it, and before that there were claims that an "old-earth worldview" would crumble "any day now".

[blowfish]

but Christians that promote Intelligent Design consider Evolution to be Christianity's enemy.

It's always handy to have an enemy, especially when it comes to fund-raising, promoting book sales and winning school-board votes.

[Sun]

Evolution is not mathematically possible, too complex to have evolved by chance, and where did the FIRST living cell come from?

A theory is NOT a fact - no matter how many scientists study it - it is STILL not a fact. (now pounding head against wall)

[Sun]

Nice to see some common sense.

The only people who call evolution a fact, are those who wish it to be so.

It is called a theory for a reason.

Oh yes really! Being a Scottish Presbyterian, I am quite aware of the Christian history of burning at the stake other Christians for only differences in liturgy. The human species does have a propensity to seek Heavens favor by Holy murder.
