So what?

[freedumb2003]

Evolution is NOT a capitalistic system else evolution could stand on its own and would not need GOVERNMENT to make it the law of the land and demand we the people fund it. It is socialistic at its very base.

What law would that be? I don't know of any laws that say "you will Evolve."

As far as TEACHING Evolution, it is just like those evil teachers that teach the Earth is billions of years old, that Gravity behaves differently under different conditions and similar Socialist topics.

And don't get me started on those MATHEMATICS and CHEMISTRY Commies.

I started reading the posts, but had to quit. Unbelievable. Anyway, this is a worthy project. Would love to be able to go on board.
Recently went on board the 3 replica ships in Jamestown.
Amazing that people could endure the cramped and unhealthy conditions for so many months. Darwin suffered with motion sickness throughout the entire 5-year trip. That in itself deserves some praise.

"...the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth in 2009."

All this fuss about some guy who hasn't even been born yet?

"Evolution: Not just a good idea, it's the LAW!" ;)

The sentence I highlighted in my first reply to you should answer your question. I enjoy watching the Evo/Non-Evo arguments with popcorn but I dismiss any argument that uses the "intelligence" of a person or persons as a prop to validate one side of the debate. That argument style is usually employed by the evolutionists.

As I didn't mention intelligence, and as there was a strong implication of Fitzroy's high intelligence in my "article", I think that the conclusion you drew says more about what you are looking for when you read this stuff than what I wrote. Just because most educated people believe something it doesn't follow that it is true.

[Thatcherite]

Don't you think it would be even more interesting if you guys would build an exact replica, using 4000 year old techniques, of Noah's ark, fill it with every living thing on Earth and float it for a year on the open ocean? Surely you could raise donations for such an important undertaking? It would put any Beagle to shame.

I'll contribute.

STTNG placemarker. :-)

[Thatcherite]

Sorry. Still nowhere near big enough.

In 50 years that ship [HMS Ark Royal] will be a dinosaur.

Already is. She went to to the breaker's yard in 1981.

Sir Arthur Keith (Evolution and Ethics) noted:

So rather than find a quote of someone else's opinion on Hitler and evolution (even though that is not the context of evolution in that citation, another creationsist misrepresentation; when will they stop lying), can you find a 1st person reference? Something directlky attributable to the Nazis? Hitler never made any, not was there usch elements in the Nazis platform. If you look at the history, Hilter and the Nazis are revealed to have a warped creationist philosophy. It seems creationists have the same difficulty finding evidence for the political machinations of evolution as they do to support creationism. Unless, of course, one considers creationism an example of creative art.

The first ten or twelve paragraphs of the section on races and nations in Mein Kampf sound so much like Darwin's works that it's hard to tell the difference.

"Nobody was killed because of Darwin. You are completely wrong, Mr. Holden."

You are the one who is wrong. Plenty of people have died for believing the Theory of Evolution.

[Just mythoughts]

God is allowing the I know more than you God crusade, to give it their best shot of dissing Him before He sets things straight. All in His time.

[Just mythoughts]

NO the government is to protect the unalienable RIGHTS endowed by the Creator which are Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Darwinist don't even make the cut as they disavow the very Creator that created their very souls. So they had to pervert that Constitution in order to SURVIVE the socialistic method of life.

[balch3]

barf alert.

[Dimensio]

It is interesting that you refuse to acknowledge your demonstratable errors and instead, when corrected on a subject, bring up another irrelevant or false claim to distract from your previous mistake. I have never understood why you engage in such behavior, Mr. Holden, as it does nothing to strengthen the credibility of your claims.

[Dimensio]

For what reason should a warning of possible nausia be given regarding this article?

[Just mythoughts]

Hitler took advantage of the communist method that ruled with iron fist of death and destruction. Kinda like the mentality of the evolutionists that fears God will make their fairy tale null and void. So they get the 'supreme' law of the land to make them have credibility and breath that necessary life into their nostrils the tax payer dollar in a government ruled school system.
