Hasn’t seen the movie, repeats lies, and can’t understand. Go figure!
That is such a tired argument.
Everytime another transistional fossil is found, we hear, "Yeah, well where is the one after that?"
Just admit it. No amount of evidence can possibly ever convince you. At least that would be honest.
Are you saying Darwin was wrong for postulating about a science that is now know as genetics?
Do you blame the Wright Brothers for 9/11?
TP you are the one who started the Hitler analogies. My only point was that those who shout that Derbyshire has no credibility on the science versus ID agrument because he hasn’t seen the movie, are full of hooey.
It never ceases to amaze me...how liberals are so arrogant that they believe the 90%+ of us that don’t hate God should have to pay for private schools, while the too easily offended Godless 10% get a free pass, and dictate that ALL children (except those lucky enough to be able to afford private schools, hypocrat Bill Clinton comes to mind) be taught to fear publically expressing their faith or belief in Him, NOT from peers but the liberal NEA types.
It SHOULD be that the Michael Newdow’s of the world be forced to pay for out of pocket expenses, NOT hijacking the govt. to BAN God or whatever else next will offend them.
I hope sooner than later that day will come, it’s OBVIOUS there’s something seriously wrong with the way liberals run things!
THANKFULLY Christians are starting to get REALLY tired of the Godless liberal insanity of separation of church and state and other lunacies...as well as the unfounded fear-mongering of an auto-theocracy and proselytizing if some child DARE publically profess Christ as his or her savior; BEFORE it’s too late!

Liberals believe:
all religion is the problem with the world.
Cops and bad guys are exactly the same...corrupt and like guns/violence.
The military is the same in all countries. They carry guns, like violence and like to kill innocent people.
No one should be rich, all people should have the same, regardless of intellect, ability, etc.
Trees and animals are more important than people.
The U.S. is the last superpwoer and therefore the source of evil in the world.
Christians are bitter people that cling to God and guns.
To BE a Christian one must attend church.
Do your parents love you?
Science, and even evolution, are not conservative/liberal things.
It has nothing to do with politics as long as its science. Gravity has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives, but it’s only a scientific theory, too.
Creationists are not radical islamics, although I don’t think that was really what they were called on this thread. I don’t see why there can’t be a respectiful disagreement.
People should be free to believe the earth is 6,000 years old, Noah’s Flood was worldwide and only 4,000 years ago, and dinosaurs are just something we don’t want to talk about.
Fine.
There is no need for religion and science to agree. The very rules of science prohibit it from getting into the religious realm. It passes no judgment on religion at all.
Religion observes no such restrictions, and it’s been proven incorrect on numerous counts and has retracted its positions.
This is way more of a religious/scientific debate than a conservative/liberal one. And there is no reason for it to be a religious debate. The facts are indeed the facts.
Dog gone, remember “peltdown man”
Remember “Nebraska man”?
Remember “manmade global warming”? Oh wait, we’re still debunking that one.
Science soils itself when it steps out of its boundaries.
Lovers of science should jealously guard it from error.

So what to do with scientists that try in vain to produce such “proof” in the future?
It’s forever decided, as far as academic liberals are concerned in this country...you already have the “PROOF” from the algoreacle crowd that this is indeed the tactic from the left when it comes to the hot air cult, do you not?
Okay. How does that advance the discussion?
I agree with your estimate on eventual box office, but that's not going to give anyone a profit.
Exhibitors get $2.4 million of that, but they only made #1100/screen in the first week and they are not going to make up the diff to their costs on popcorn sales.
Distributor get $1.6 mill, which won';t pay for the theater prints.
Of the producers $$ mill, they admit to $3.5 production costs, add advertising, and they are comping people like crazy to go see the film.
Bottom line, before opening the producers said an opening Box Office of $12-15M would be a success - they got less than 3.
Paridel, I regretted typing that snarky remark as soon as my industrious fingers moved to the next keys - I owe you an apology and, actually, the whole worldwide Anglican community!

Science seems to be able to correct mistakes or detect fraud.
In fact, it’s quite good at that. None of those hoaxes were debunked by a pastor, were they?
It bothers me no end that religious conservatives(not to be confused with conservatives that are religious) seem to think that they control the conservative movement and the republican party. You all screwed us with the Huck. Thanks alot. As a group we had to settle for McCain.
I’m going to see the movie, but I’ve already experienced the tactics from the left first hand, with the Georgia ACLU sneaking a letter into the school board here over the summer that if they don’t remove the word “Christmas” from the school’s calendar, they’d be sued.
NO parental input, only the state knows best. OR the lawyers, or the atheists, etc.
It’s the exact same premise...there’s simply to be no debate...not on the hot air cult or bitter God and gun clinging Christians having a voice in science.
Poor tactics or not addressing all their tricks at once is but a distraction, IMO.
While I’m sure there are kooks who want evolution banned, and not the exchange of ideas of both theories, I think the numbers on the left that want ID banned, NOT based on ANYTHING remotely scientific but unfounded fears about proselytizing or some super-theocracy, is just too overwhelming!
He wasn’t blaming Darwin for Nazism, he was blaming Nazis for believing in Darwinism. Marx isn’t accountable for Lenin’s bloodbath, but Lenin is still a fool for believing in Marx. Same sort of thing.
Of course not. The HMS Beagle only spent 5 week in the area. Neither Darwin nor anybody else claimed he observed evolution!
The Galápagos Islands consist of 22 main islands spread over 28,000 square miles.
Charles Darwin found roughly 13 different types of finch populating it, and he went about collecting the new (to him) specimens for later classification. But after his return to England, ornithologist John Gould told him that the finches were not, as Darwin had supposed, members of several widely different families, but all belonged to one family now known as the Geospizinae.
That's when it clicked that the birds became isolated on their individual islands and had adapted to their local environment.
It is the classic example of "Adaptive Radiation", a process of evolution in which variations of a single species fill different niches and eventually become new species.
So he continues to wallow in his own ignorance.
Too bad for him.
His freedoms he now has to spew such ignorance has soooooo very little to do with the advancements of science, or some idea of scientific method; and the only way science is ultimately trashed is by allowing a fearful hate God group define for all what science is or isn’t in this country.
That’s so UN-American as to make one’s head spin!
And to be so arrogant as to say Americans (or westerners) are solely responsible for creating the so-called scientific method....oooops....we’re not ALLOWED to say creation in his world...which no one here can define by concensus anyway...
only further shows how little he knows of science!
