Creationist Bill Signed by Jindal
LGF ^ | June 27, 2008

Posted on 06/27/2008 2:04:21 PM PDT by EveningStar

Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal has signed a stealth creationist bill into law, and American educational standards take a huge step backward: Science law could set tone for Jindal.

The creationist front group called the Discovery Institute is quietly crowing, and maintaining the fiction that the bill is not religiously-based.

I think the time is wasted here...

A technologically morphed whale used his new digital flipper to take this pic of his fifth cousin, twice removed!

"Foucault's pendulum shows that the earth moves."

Ignorant fool! The pendulum shows rotation about an axis, and nothing else.

Nothing else you present proves anything either, just as Einstein wrote. You're stuck on stubborn stupid.

Nothing in Genesis Chapter 1 either supports or demands a earth centric universe. Please provide an actual quote from the Bible that you base geocentricism on.

If you are claiming that Einstein advocated or believed in a geocentric model you are putting forth a falsehood. I have not rejected any “great minds” I have rejected something that is obviously false, and nobody with any intelligence has believed for many hundreds of years.

Please point to any object close enough or massive enough to move the Sun around the Earth. Please tell me how this incredibly powerful force somehow leaves the earth motionless.

So far you have provided zero backing for your model from either Science, Mathematics, or the Bible.

but you're telling me that everything they've based that on is a lie fabricated to shill for the evolutionsts.

How exactly did I say that?

I say that evolution is a naturalist view trying to find a home on the shirt tails of science. Your claims are no better than mine, just because you say so. Your basis is speculation, based on observations. So is Globull Warming. It is just more junk science, clammering for credibility, and scoffing at deniers.

I do not accept Evolutionary Philosophy as anything more than a variant to faith in any other religion. My faith is in Jesus Christ. I believe it is the only correct answer to anything. "In the beginning, God..." In the end, too!

Earth rotation around an axis is not “motionless”. Gourmet Dan insisted that the earth is motionless.

" The Coriolis effect shows that the earth moves." [excerpt]
Moves?
Are you talking about linear motion or angular motion.

“Two evo’s set out to determine what the statistical probability of spontaneous generation of life and then develop into the life we have today, it was 1x10 to 140th power, not good odds.”

The evo’s can deal with the odds nicely by making the making the universe bigger and older. The anthropic principal was used to prove that there are infinite parallel universes with infinite opportunities for the improbable to occur.

Ignorant fool.
stubborn stupid.

Please refrain from personal attacks. I realize that without any support from Math, Science, or even the Bible; you might be reduced to such tactics (what else do you have), but please cut it out. Surely you can defend Geocentricism without calling those who disagree (about 99% of the literate world) ignorant fools or stuck on stubborn stupid. Or maybe you cannot.

They don’t have a bible.

But they do have prophets.

They call them geologists.

How exactly did I say that?

Where did I say anything about "inorgaic becoming organic"?

If we're going to teach people that our decision to spend billions of dollars building that facility at Yucca Mountain was just "a guess", and the basis of that guess is no more valid than any other proposal or theory anyone else might have, how do we justify building it there, or not building it anywhere else?

Would you accept the federal government telling you they've decided to build it right next to your house because they say threw a dart at a map and trusted God to guide it?

Oh, just the same as everybody, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 legs, a nose, mouth full of teeth, a bunch of hair, etc, etc.

You?

Yes, let’s be sure to silence all opposing views.

If Darwinism is such a strong theory, why can’t it survive in adversity? Unlike the animals which it describes, Darwinism has to be kept in a “clean room”, free of opposing viewpoints and doubts. It’s on life support.

It’s not like other scientific theories. It has to be protected. We have to hear, like Al Gore with global warming, that “the debate is over.” When someone has to resort to that, you can bet your life that the debate is not over.

Knowing what I know about the gum't, that isn't much endorsement!

In order for things to evolve, they must begin. To claim that evolutionary theory shouldn't be involved with that is bogus, and is another STRAW MAN argument. If you prefer, I will just call it "smoke and mirrors". Obfuscation of the subject, without proper doctrinal support from your thesis, does not further your position.

In order for life to progress, it must begin, AND there must be something to begin with. If there is nothing, I repeat NOTHING, it cannot become something. The science we call physics is based on that fact. If it starts with nothing, and becomes something of the supposed mass of all the things we see displayed in the heavens and on earth, it is IMPROBABLE, not impossible, that it could happen. Add to that the suggestion that inorganic matter can suddenly become organic, and then proceed through countless supposedly infinitesimal, incremental changes from simple to complex, into such as God's ultimate Creation, man.

FRiend, that is faith, extraordinary faith.

But, with God, all things are possible. Would you like the Scripture quotation?

The fundamentals of Biological evolution are not hashed out in High School Science class. I.D. and/or Creationism are not Scientific criticisms of Biology and do not belong in Science class. Science belongs in Science class.

The debate is not over. But what Biological Scientists debate (in Science) is over the mechanics of the phenomena, not over if it happened or not.

When discussing Astronomy should Science class include Geocentric models as ‘equally valid’? How about the notion that the world is supported on the back of a giant tortoise?
