Let the games begin...

Remember, trolls = Christian believers

[streetpreacher]

I'm afraid you lost me there...

there is no better way to make kids curious about "intelligent design" than to have some Neanderthal forbid its being mentioned in biology class.

Exactly. Same holds true of a lot of other things as well.

[lonestar67]

It seems like such a long time since I agreed with Pat.

[Prodigal Son]

Aristotle, who died 300 years before Christ,

What does that have to do with anything?

If you take the Biblical version of creation literally, the universe was created a long time before Christ got on the scene as well. What point is the author trying to make by pointing out that Aristotle was around before Christ?

[streetpreacher]

But if intelligent design is creationism or fundamentalism in drag, how does Judge Jones explain how that greatest of ancient thinkers, Aristotle, who died 300 years before Christ, concluded that the physical universe points directly to an unmoved First Mover?

Here we go again ===> Placemarker <===

[inquest]

What point is the author trying to make by pointing out that Aristotle was around before Christ?

He's not just pointing out that Aristotle was "around" before Christ, but that he was advocating a type of intelligent design theory well before Christianity even existed, let alone became dominant in the West. The reason he's pointing it out is to show that teaching ID does not confer state establishment on the biblical Genesis account, as the judge claimed.

How many times do we have to restate this:

1. Mutations are random.

2. Mutations are primarily lethal to the host.

3. A single mutation confers no cellular advantage to the cell or over other cells. There can be no pressure to "select" this mutational aberration over other normal cells.

4. Random events do not and cannot predict an endpoint.

5. Darwinists are stuck on stupid arguing incomplete fossil records and homologous appendages. Cell change occurs at a molecular biochemical level.

6. Darwinists are secularists. The abstraction called "Nature" is there God. They are anti-God, anti-religious, pompous, self-absorbed, arrogant, self-deluded zealots who quiver in fear that anyone should discover the flaws of their beloved Theory, the Theory they genuflect to.

[Prodigal Son]

Intelligent Design is not exclusive to Christianity. The Biblical version of creation is found in the Old Testament. The Old Testament was around before Aristotle.

YOU tha Hamm-ER, Prodigal Son!

You left out that we don't bathe and that we kick little kittens.

[inquest]

I'm going to hazard a guess that Aristotle wasn't referencing the Torah.

[Zman]

And let us not forget, none other than Albert Einstein said something to the effect that "God did not play dice with the universe."

[Prodigal Son]

I don't know. Don't care either to be honest.

Gotta go. Party's starting out there on Princes St. Got on my kilt and money in my sporran. Got my boots laced up and my socks rolled down. Time to go ring in that New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone.

for later perusal

[Clemenza]

went on to purge Christianity and the Bible from our public schools.

Why should a public school, open to ALL, be explicitly Christian?

If you want your children to go to a "Christian School" there are many options for you. Don't send them to public school.

[manwiththehands]

Even Pat Buchanan "gets it". Sheez.

[Clemenza]

Prove that "God" exists in anything other than your imagination.

God has no place in science class. If you don't like the fact that monotheism is not pushed in public schools, put your kids in a Christian school.
