the guy's an evolutionist. the picture has (evolutionist) Chinese children who are supposed to be smarter than Creationist American children. The average Creationist has roughly the same intelligence as the average evolutionist, and since Creationists realize that the Creation of Genesis has the truth, Creationists are actually smarter.
We evolutionists can't be that dumb. I caught the 'genesis' comment.
The message in post #2 has nothing to do with the relative intelligence of Chinese vs. American children. What it is saying is that people like those on that Kansas school board are attempting to handicap budding young scientists in the name of religion, and that handicapping will help China (and other countries) surpass us in science.
The fact is, that evolution is a multifaceted theory that covers just about every facet of biology. Trying to conduct meaningful science without taking into account evolutionary principles would be nearly impossible. Let's take a simple scenario--I am studying a particular protein made by bacteria A. I'm wondering if bacteria B, which causes an illness similar to that caused by bacteria A, has a corresponding protein with a similar function. Right here, I'm running into problems--because, without taking evolution into account, I can't even wonder about similarities between bacteria A and bacteria B. I haven't even gotten to the technical aspects of how similar protein bA and protein bB are, or how I'm going to show they have similar functions--because creation or ID (whatever you want to call it) doesn't even allow the questions to be asked.
As far as I'm concerned, it is creationists who have constructed the world view that God cannot exist if life evolved on this Earth who have a problem, not scientists. We're merely observers.
Does it shake your faith that geologists have never found evidence of pits where evil souls are being tormented by demons for their sins on Earth? Or that astronomers have never seen anything up there in the big wide sky that resembles a paradise populated by angels? Why just pick on biology?
