The True Extent of Evolution's Corruption

That doesn't say if a positon is a lepton. But I'm only to the Bosons, slow reader.

[Doctor Stochastic]

You would understant all that if you had seen Former President Reagan's move about physics: "Bedtime for Bosons."

There is no science course in any reputable science department on the planet that I've ever heard of that teaches that there is a single "Theory of Evolution" that encompasses Cosmology, Stellar Evolution, Biological Evolution, and Musical Evolution. Assertions to the contrary are figments of the imaginations of overactive Creationsists who are looking to inflate the boogey-man with which they have chosen to do battle.

You have somehow lurched into the truth. When one imagines that he's engaged in a glorious cosmic struggle against the forces of evil, it's degrading to get stuck with a mere biological theory as the enemy. True spiritual warfare requires that the conflict be waged on a grand, universal scale. Inflate the enemy! The more powerful the foe, the more heroic the warrior who rises to the challenge. The fate of the whole universe must be at stake! Nothing less will do. Thus, the enemy becomes all of science. Indeed, although almost never explicitly acknowledged, the enemy is reason itself.

There's also an element of hiding behind definitions. Many creationists will claim "I LOVE science; I just reject evolution."

The listener is invited to believe that the only sticking point is a question in biology, the origin of the diversity of life. Ergo, the speaker is not a kook. In fact, the speaker rejects cosmology, nuclear physics, geology, paleontology, astronomy, and probably geometry.

Really. I'm Catholic.

Interesting. I wish I could remember all these things about freepers. The Catholic vs Fundamentalist debate is certainly a different can of worms.

A positron is the antielectron and is thus a lepton. But read on. I'm finding I haven't been paying enough attention to spin. (In fact, up to this point I'd been disciplining myself to recognize and reject spin.)

[Doctor Stochastic]

...and probably geometry.

Not to mention Geometric Probability

Pant Hoot!

I've been trying to get it through "Brittney Spears Explains Physics" website, but i keep going back to the homepage...

[Condorman]

I see you!

[PatrickHenry]

Oook! Oook!

Now then, where (other than the internet) is the comparable "creation science" industry?

Your link makes absolutely no mention of the Theory of Evolution as being alone responsible for these biotech advancements. Do you know how many Creationists have assisted in the development of biotechnology? Do you think there are none at all? May I show you one or two?

And I really think it is a shade unfair for you to draft your response from the internet while requesting that mine come from elsewhere.

"Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." -- Theodosius Dobzhansky

So, if I quote the Bible will you receive it as equal authority to your buddy, Theo?

[Fester Chugabrew]

No reason one can't believe in evolution and Divine Providence.

. . . and fairy tales, and . . .

[VadeRetro]

Dobzhansky explains what he means. (Makes a fine case, even if he's writing in 1973. Evidence that has come along since then only bolsters his case in any event.)

[Fester Chugabrew]

I don't doubt for a moment that Dobzhansky makes a fine case. I can make a fine case for Evolution, too. But is it the ONLY case for understanding life as we know it? My mind is not that closed, and neither are the minds of a good many who believe God is in charge of life as we know it.

At any rate, the gist of this article is that adherents of Evolution Theory have wreaked havoc when their assumptions are applied sociologically. I believe this to be true to a large degree.

Gee, just what does the Bible say about genetics? Is it better than the Vedas?

[Dimensio]

. . . and fairy tales, and . . .

Isn't that covered in believing in Divine Providence?

(Sorry, I just can't resist).

[Fester Chugabrew]

Ha! Understood.
