And just as well - the defense perjured itself enough even without them.

"Jones' decision was to leave science to scientists. A good one." Judge Jones used ACLU documentation (including errors).
"Biological scientists overwhelmingly accept evolution."
Ah, truth by popular vote. Good for science and good for America.
To: antiRepublicrat
"Just as in my examples -- a spin of facts equals a lie." Well then. Judge Jones 'spinning' the words of the ACLU as his own was a lie then wasn't it?

This whole "dust-up" is bogus.
My advice to you is to actually learn some real science for once. However, I already know that will not happen.
To: Robert A. Cook, PE
"Neither was "created" (as we think of it) from nothing, their matter already existed. But they could not be seen until the plants cleared up the atmosphere." Sorry, whether you think they were created from nothing or made from existing material, the verse says they were 'made', not made visible.
"Then again, I could argue that this means that plants (now thought to be "only" 3 some-odd billion years old) were actually already present before the moon's collision at around 4 billion some-odd years ago.
Do you think that's why the Book says, "...and there was evening and morning..." so that you could fit billions of years in there?
"We shall see. Science has been wrong before in confirming what the Book already said.
And is wrong now. That's why you should not accept science first and the Book second.

Judge Jones is a moron plagiarist and tool of the hard-core Communist Left.
To: highball
"You obviously haven't read the transcripts - the defense's star witness, under oath, admitted that ID is as scientific as astrology." I think you (and Judge Jones) misunderstood what Behe was saying.
"The only side to put forward a valid scientific analysis was the plaintiff."
Would that be the 'truth by popular opinion' analysis?
To: GourmetDan
Welllllll, that depends on how the Bible is interpreted.
Catholic teaching holds that it is divinely inspired, absolute Truth in matters of Faith and morals, but composed of many different forms of literature: Songs, poems, parables, stories, histories and tales, lists of Kings and judges, genealogies, laws, eyewitness accounts, letters, etc.
The story of Genesis is one of many stories telling how and why and what God created. Thus, in the Catholic teaching, I do not need to explain what is meant by the "morning and evening of ..." but rather just let the story reveal the glory that God created. It (genesis) does not need to mention the details of the story of creation, the Book merely reveals that creation happened - and now, finally, science has evolved to the point of being able to tell us the same thing. (It's about time they caught up.)
It says, for example, that life was formed from the earth: If God chose to do that by manipulating molecules and atoms, it's rather easier to believe that than that random lightning strikes somehow created life.

It's very common for judges to copy-n-paste sections from the parties' submitted briefs.

To paraphrase the 'sanitation' worker:
Evolution is to science what an Etch-A-Sketch is to a CAD program.
Evolutionists are to scientists what road-kill is to the Cordon Bleu.

My advice to you is that you should take your own advice.
You obviously don't realize that most people see through the fallacy of evolution easily. Only those given to believing the lie have difficulty with the truth.

Ah, truth by popular vote. Good for science and good for America. Ah, let's see - truth by the consensus of professionals in a relevant area of expertise actually trained to analyze, interpret and review data properly, or truth by consensus of Gourmet Dan and the Discovery Institute. Tough call...

Do Catholics think God couldn't tell us what he really did but had to tell us a lie so that we would believe him?
"It says, for example, that life was formed from the earth: If God chose to do that by manipulating molecules and atoms, it's rather easier to believe that than that random lightning strikes somehow created life."
The Book says that he created animals to reproduce after their kind. Man says that isn't how it happened. The Book says God created the sun/moon one day after the plants. Man says that isn't how it happened. The Book says that woman came from man. Man says that isn't how it happened.
"(It's about time they caught up.)"
Have they?

"

"A historic judicial ruling against intelligent design theory...." There is no such thing as Intelligent Design Theory, it is a hypothesis at most

"
