And don't forget, Pluto has been recently demoted, too.

Ya gotta "Rule the neighborhood" doncha know!

(Exactly what the C vs E fuss is all about, too!)

...and is therefore stealing?

Quite a stretch!

I sure remember going over alchemy, humors, flat earth, and the geocentric nature of the universe when I was in school. No, they didn't teach is AS science but that's where I heard it. They had time to *teach the controversy*, explain to us why those concepts weren't valid, and still teach us everything we needed to know.

As a history lesson in what NOT to believe. There was no "*teach the controversy* involved.

Then he told them that he was going to teach them what answers they needed to put down on the test in order to be considered *correct*, so they would get it marked right. He didn't care what they really thought and told them not to put down what made sense to them, just put down the answers that they needed to to pass. (So much for teaching kids to think for themselves.)

There is a teacher who should be fired!

He has no business teaching biology. Period!

....Like not wanting to see Pelosi as Speaker Of The House.

Saying such things before sleep does induce nightmares! The only thing worse would be being forced to watch a Ted Kennedy / Helen Thomas porno!

"where did Adam and Eve's daughters-in-law come from"

Possibly nearby tribes that were not selected by God to be the first of His people, I would assume. The Bible even states that some of heavens creatures started to have carnal relations with earthly women and things sort of got out of hand. The philistines were supposedly a product of this, thus the giant Goliath.

[BBT]

Hahaha!!!!

[Tulsa Ramjet]

"Which 'GOD'?"

Is that a rhetorical question? That God that made the universe. Els, are you feeling okay?

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Hey I was right on without quoting scripture! The Holy Spirit was with me.

If evolution is a fact, then why is there no evidence of any species evolving into another more superior species in the last, oh say, 1,000 years? 2000 years? All evidence is that evolution has stopped, which is not logical or scientific.

[RadioAstronomer]

Why do you need a new flu shot every year?

[Dimensio]

How did reproduction "evolve"?

Hint: It didn't.

A fascinating hypothesis. Tell me, what explanation do you have for reproduction, and what evidence have you to support the claim that reproduction did not "evolve"? Also, are you referring to sexual or asexual reproduction? If you refer to sexaul reprodution, are you speaking of such reproduction in general, or are you specifically referring to one form, such as that of placental mammals?

[Dimensio]

Which "creation" story is being discussed in such schools, and how is the alleged comparison made?

[DelphiUser]

>>I wonder how many people believe Pluto is a planet.

LOL!

This reminds me of the story of the kindergartner who brought a kitten to school. One of the kids wanted to know it is a Boy or a Girl kitty. One of the kids proudly announced he knew how to tell (The teacher was afraid of what might come next), then the tot proposed they vote on it. (It either is, or isn’t, but a poll won’t make much of a difference.)

Reality, it’s not up for a vote.

Is "The Origin of Species" about the origin of species, or about their changing over time? Puzzling title, considering most Darwinists argue that Darwin wasn't talking about the "origin," but the "evolution" of species....

Maybe I'm misunderstanding his use of the term.

Anyway, FWIW, the study seems pretty goofy. Of course homo sapiens have changed some over the years....

[Dimensio]

What do you mean by "superior"?

All evidence is that evolution has stopped, which is not logical or scientific.

You are apparently misinformed. No biologist has suggested that evolution has "stopped" at any time.

[Dimensio]

Is "The Origin of Species" about the origin of species, or about their changing over time?

It addresses the means by which new species come to exist. It refers not to a single event, but to a general pattern of events.

Well, there's no way to figure it out except to keep looking at the title. If you solve the mystery, let us know.

Since most Americans don't use the tool of evolution any more than they use the theory of relativity, it seems somewhat odd that the at large opinions amount to much.

[RadioAstronomer]

Big time! (evil grin)!
