I have been on record as saying many times evolution did not happen, is not happening and could never happen. Life is too complex and intricate to have evolved over a period millions of years.

In other words, you personally can't bring yourself to believe the evidence, therefore the conclusions must be false.

This is the logical fallacy known as "argument from incredulity".

I view scientific evidence the same way I view polls. Any group can make any conclusion come from the evidence they provide depending on what their particular mission is. In other words, evidence and polls can be manipulated to bring a desired conclusion.

Except that scientific evidence can be evaluated by anyone who wishes to take issue with it. If you really want to argue against evolution, you would have a lot more credibility if you were to base your arguments on the actual evidence rather than railing against the very concept of evidence.

I will tell you one thing I know to be fact. There is a God in Heaven.

So you say. Why should I believe you?

I know criticism of all kinds are coming my way the very minute this gets posted.

Well, of course. You appeal to a logical fallacy, criticize the very concept of evidence rather than constructing any reasoned arguments and then go into a completely non-sequitur religious speech.

Let the criticisms come, I would rather be criticized and right, than supported and wrong.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like either applies to you.

With all of that said, the disclaimer should have included ALL of the theories contained in the science book used by the Cobb County Public School System.

Including gravitational theory and atomic theory, if those topics are covered, correct?

Why not just make the fundamental definition of "scientific theory" a mandatory part of the science cirriculum. I would have no objections to that and then you wouldn't need to have any disclaimers because the students would already be informed as to the exact nature of any explanation in science termed "theory".

The disclaimer in no way, shape or form even mentioned religion; and yet, somehow, not only have you good folks leaped a huge leap to say this disclaimer pushes religion, so does the group filing the suit.

That would be based upon the actual words of those pushing for the disclaimer. By their fruits, and all that.

Man has completely ignored the existence of God, and replaced Him with evolution and all kinds of other ideas, and then have the audacity to wonder why our country is in such a shocking state of moral decay.

Drop the arrogant, pious attitude. Evolution is not a "replacement" for any gods, much less yours. Your "God" is not so special that people are seeking to cover it up with scientific theories. Evolution, like all other scientific theories, came about through direct interpretation of physical events by multiple people pooling observations and conclusions. It is not and never has been an attempt to replace any gods or any religion.

"In other words, you personally can't bring yourself to believe the evidence"

For every piece of evidence provided to prove evolution, eventually, a scientist (sometimes the same scientist who provided the first piece of evidence), finds evidence that contradicts the first piece of evidence; in whole or in part. There are as many different kinds of theories for how evolution happened as there are styles of clothing in the world. EVOLUTION HAS NEVER AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY been absolutely, positively and completely to be proved to be a fact, even beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt.

Scientists argue constantly with each other over evolution. They argue over circumstances, evidence or the lack there of supporting an idea about evolution. I simply do not accept as truth, what a group of people who are actively involved in trying to prove evolution can not even agree on themselves to be the truth.

I remind you one more time. Anyone can print something in a scientific journal they want to, and call it a scientific fact, but does not in any way make what is printed in a scientific journal a fact. People lie, and so do scientists.

Yes, evolution is very much an attempt to disclaim and disprove God. The majority of scientists who are working so hard to prove evolution if not all of them, are in fact atheists, and it is this fact, not scientific truth, that drives them to work so hard to prove evolution and disprove creationism.

Those scientists who are trying to push this new theory of evolution happening but under the watchful eye of an "intelligent designer" are completely misguided. As far as the crack about why you should believe me about the existence of God, I know there is a God. Nothing has made a mark on me as the day my daughter was born. I know God exists, by this fact alone. You know a mother quite literally walks through the valley of the shadow of death during child birth, when she goes to make that final push to get the head of the baby out, her stops beating for the count of 4 beats, just long enough to get the head out. No damage occurs to her or the child, at least normally does not anyway. Evolution did not create that, God did.
