You're right. Atheism is that in which atheists fail to believe.
Are you claiming freedom of thought is the morally-superior position?
Shhhhh!
If you're truly from the South, that should be "Miss Mamzelle"--unless it was just sexism and condescension?
Tangent? This thread is about Mooney--and he was praised by the first poster. He is indeed in the employ of leftists. He is indeed greenlisted to begin a movie with Spurlock (Supersize Me) called "The Republican War on Science"--
"Supersize Me" was an attack on a fast-food business and got funding from Soros and is promoted by trial lawyers. It was presented in schools in front of the children you hold so precious. It is agit-prop. "Republican War on Science" will certainly also be agit prop.
SHOULD "REPUBLICAN WAR ON SCIENCE" then be SHOWN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
What say you, Junior? Will it reach your holy standard on what should be allowed to be seen by our little ones? Do you have an opinion on that? I sure don't want this agitprop in my schools. I'm not given a choice.
I'm just wondering, which side of that war are you on, and the other evos here? And just how republican and conservative are evos here on FR, if they are praising and promoting someone who's about to do a Michael Moore on us, pry away some vital votes, and put us (I'm calling "us" GOP and conservative) out of power in the Senate.
It was an Anglicization of your handle.
As for the "Republican War on Science," the anti-evo types, who want to basically exclude half of science (biology, cosmology, physics, astronomy, paleontology, etc.) because it contradicts their pet beliefs have brought this on us. Are we loathe to poke fun at our opponents' foibles? Why should our opponents not feel the same?
Creationism and its attendent Trojan Horse, ID, has done more to set back the conservative movement than Hillary Clinton could ever do.
They are most unreliable conservative allies. They have a habit of shrugging and staying at home on election day, or throwing their vote away on some L-party dweeb.
There were several reasons I left 'tarianism behind--and quickly--their obsession over drug legalization, their refusal to do the hard work of grass-roots politicking, and their maddening, destructive prejudice against the religious. They really wanted Those Baptists to go away, and take their votes with them.
ID is just a stick to beat the Baptists with. If not that, it'd be something else.
Of course, if you don't want to answer, we'll all understand.
We used to watch movies all the time in high school (20+ years ago). Of course, the movies in question had something to do with what we were learning, such as Romeo and Juliet or Moby Dick.
Now, just where have you heard that this so far unfilmed movie is going to be shown in schools?
I'd like to see a source for this if you have one. Einstein spent a large part of his life working on QM and is still credited by many with originating the quantum interpretation of reality.
Einstein's issue was with the Copenhagen Interpretation of QM and that the theory seemed incomplete because of it's probabilistic nature
But I appreciate that you want to look out for the interests of the Michael Moores and the Spurlocks in --"our"-- opposing camp.
Pick me!! PICK ME!!!! ;)
?
I think it takes some time before posters here get a good enough grasp of the scientific background of some of the regulars around here to start being careful about posting on such matters. Some never learn. Some of us learn to step carefully and try not to exceed our educational limits too often.
You don't have a high enough percentage of evo-posts to indicate crank status, and you also have an unfortunate indication of generalized loyalty to the RNC. Sorry.
Ahh, the old "political loyalty above all else" argument.
If the republicans want to back a loser like ID for political expediency, they deserve to have their noses rubbed in it.
Yes. But we shouldn't ignore what we already know. Science gave us computers so we can easily have these discussions. The new technology available on the market over the next 20 years will make the 20th century look like the Flintstones.
We shouldn't throw this away without good cause.
wfallen:
Abiogenesis (where the first cell comes from) has nothing to do with the Theory of Evolution.
Now you know.
Almost ...
Could you please give the date that evolution became "conservative"?
