And if I say Darwinism is correct, but Darwinians argue by demeaning and insulting their opponents, I'm not attacking Darwinians?
How odd!
I appreciate what you say, but the Roman Republic and its lives lived as they were...gave us the degeneration into Caligula and Nero.
No. I was simply quoting a portion of the article by the writer that commenced this thread.
Did I say it is what I felt or thought? No. But one national writer thinks it is so.
The question is, is it accurate or not?
One could argue that in the absence of coersion, organized religions are made up of self-selected people.
I'm not pro-abortion; but the numbers of abortions have declined quite a lot recently. I don't think child abuse rates have gone up; I see no evidence there is any less respect for right and wrong around here; our society is more affluent and better educated that it's ever been; and murder, rape and other violent crime rates have been declining for years. So, no, I don't see it.
But in any case, I'm going to be off FR for a few days; so this seems to be a good place to terminate the discussion. Have a good week!
So how did they? :-)
Not really following your train of thought. I was just commenting on your statement "The government does not have the right, nor the duty, to determine the content of education for citizens". Local governments do that every day. The school boards and teachers determine the contents of what is taught. What you said about publishing houses is also true and they shape the secular crap we get etc etc But your original statement I commented on is not correct.
Ditto that.
The government does not have the right, nor the duty, to determine the content of education for citizens".
This was not my thought or statement, but that of another.

There's also this and this. I have access to the second article; I'll read it and post a summary in the next few days.
Many Darwinians think creationists are ignorant. This is probably because we're so used to hearing gross distortions, fallacies, and outright falsehoods about evolution from its opponents; and because, from the standpoint of science, there is no valid case against evolution. I'm not saying I don't resort to ad hominems myself; I do, mostly out of frustration. But there is a distinction between attacking the person and critiquing the idea, and it would be better if we all did the latter.
In any case, I'm going to be really busy for a few days, so I'm winding this up here.
Enjoy your break from us right wing crazies. ;)
Regards to all....
They are NOT our descendant as I had always been taught.>>>>
Sorry, but this one sentence reveals that you have no idea what you are saying.
Maybe not; but they DO have the POWER, that the money that was yanked from YOUR pocket gives them!
Never happen - they're in over their heads already. Our big boys will chew them up and spit them out before they can say, "WTF??" LOL
Seems simple eough to me: See if the little buggers can pass the Kansas test!
Might as well see if them 'Huskers can pass the Kansas test as well!
Oh, this year's going to be a whole lot better....
OK, thanks. If anything can show evolution from a single cell to multi-cell it will be Volvox.
Don't know, but the Bible has these verses on something similar, perhaps....
