Thanks for the ping!
That's the trouble with leftists. When they talk about "rights" they mean "entitlements from the Government"
It's this progressive idea that the purpose of Government is to to give you what you want.
Was there different criteria applied to then than to other people who rented facility space?
Nice article about the event - but would like more details of what was in the film.
Nevermind - reread the original post and have visited the website. (of Mysterious Islands)
No you didn’t answer it, though you made many assertions.
Still misrepresenting, I see.
Don’t you think you should know the science before speculating on whether the film is good or not?
you did say “any”.
Is the U.S. Space and Rocket Center a government facility? They have a copyright notice on their web page, which isn’t normally on federal government pages.
Like this : http://www.nasa.gov/home/index.html
And this :http://www.sandia.gov/
And numerous other US government websites.
The U.S. Space & Rocket Center (USSRC), an agency of the State of Alabama, established the U.S. Space & Rocket Center Foundation in September of 2000. The Foundation was designated as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service on March 22, 2002.
It strikes me that it is impossible to prove that God created the heavens and the earth and all that is therein. Proving a thing is to remove all doubt.
I can prove that a loaded gun can kill an animal by actually using it to kill any animal. The claim can be tested.
I cannot call God to a particular place & time and have Him demonstrate another creation.
Therefore, the best I can accomplish is to compile the available secondary/tertiary evidence that speaks logically to the claim that God created. That is not to say that such evidence is not very strong.
That is true, also, about any other claim to explain origins.
Whichever way one turns, one is left with compiling evidence that speaks to one’s claim.
And at some level, that involves the faith to continue searching. It is, therefore, a belief system.
The article kind of misrepresents that, doesn't it.
You can’t prove evolution either. Both deal with the unobservable, unrepeatable past. They are historical sciences, and historical sciences depend on “multiple competing hypothesis.” And from my stand point, the argument from Creation/ID wins the competition hands down.
Yes. I also wonder how much they get in tax dollars, since they seem to be supported by a nonprofit foundation.
Is this thread about the science, or the right of the creation group to show the film? You were there one who wanted to argue the science of the film.
A film can present a "competing hypothesis", and still be "religious propaganda". The are not mutually exclusive.
Indeed. Does the State of Alabama have the right to set and enforce standards for what it considers appropriate material to be shown at that venue, or does the film producer have the right to force them to let him show that film regardless of whether it meets those standards.
True, Evo's have been doing so ever since they could make movies.
Is that going to be the argument for establishing the First Amendment violation? You're going to sue the State of Alabama for not finding the theory of evolution to be religious propaganda?
