I'm still working on the process, but I figure that since it's so good at blowing leaves, it must be good for lots of things.
That says something about the system and about our society - not about best case. Our system did not start out that way and wasn't intended to devolve to what it is now. And it serves as no excuse for what you pass off as fact. There's no excuse for it. When I took science in school, there was a far higher standard instilled by my prof. When I took logic, there was a far higher standard. If you're trying to tell me the standard has fallen that far in 10-15 years, you're really a pathetic bunch for allowing it. Cause ultimately, that is your credibility - absent that, you're nothing in your profession. Similar minds may back-pat you; but, that isn't credibility - that's ego stroking. If you don't know the difference, you should do something else. Contrary to the absurd accusations here, I've a genius plus level IQ and the ability to use it. That and a dollar will get a cup of coffee (or 4bucks at starbucks). Intellect is worthless if it isn't used properly. And people are useless if they think themselves smarter than the unwashed. For all you think you know, you don't seem to know the most important lessens. It is truly sad and sick.
It's great for separating the cat litter from the poop but I still have a problem getting the litter back into the litter pan.
Everything.

Nobody in the Creationist camp would deny you your belief. But it ain't science. You want to argue it as a belief when the science is under attack and as science when the belief is under attack. It isn't science, it's a belief system. And as such, it has no place in the classroom. Period. I could care less about it otherwise. Without public funding, you guys would be sunk. And I'm going to help see to it that you're defunded and run out of the schools if it's the last thing I do on this earth.. which may be sooner than later; but, God willing, sooner.
So, up to now, God is fine with evolution in the schools?
Some evolutionists demonstrate a penchant for hyperbole.
The science community believes in Kwanza. It embraces Kwanza. Kwanza for everyone. It's a religion they can relate to, unlike spookism (qh)
I have told you a million times I do not engage in hyperbole.
Why would He be? Let's just treat you like you treat him. You don't exist - at best, I have to assume you're just random modem noise so from here on out, I'm treating you as such.
Because if he weren't, he would ban it from the schools.
Even with it they are losing ground. But, as you say, let us let get them off of welfare.
The evolution community believes evolution, they don't need Kwanza which is not a religion. They have their religious belief system defined in evolution. It will end up being run out most likely on that basis.. that it's a belief system, not science. And that's where it's headed now. Which is why science is in panic mode. Christians are off the defensive and 100% on the offensive now and building. They've had it and so has the public.
Welfare? I'll have you know the founder of Kwanza! was not on welfare! He was in prison
If you and your kind insist on taking Kwanza! away from the evolutionists and the scientific community, just what will they celebrate? "Winter" holidays? That would be paganism
I don't pretend to be an expert like some on these threads.
I am not a science major, but a history...
Interesting.
No he'd leave it to us to deal with just as he always has. He may hold the hand of judgement; but, he sent moses to speak for him. He sent the Apostles to speak for him, and he still sends believers to speak for him - backed up with divine action when it's his will. He sent Noah to warn the people and prepare and nobody listened. Pharaoh wouldn't listen, etc. Nor will you. And in the end, you'll be sorry for it and probably madder at God or the notion of him than you are now. Your folly; but, expected.
Ok. You have your belief system which, in no way, can you base on any facts. The scientific field has their system which advocates a search for facts. Obviously, there is a disconnect between you and science. Sorry.
