Of course science is what you believe. Really? You mean it's anything you want to believe? Guess we can slash the research budgets across the board, then!

If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes

Evidence can always be interpreted more than one way. Any scientist will tell you that.
I agree. But there's a methodology that scientists follow - funnily enough, it's called the scientific method - that shows how we're going to approach the evidence. You don't like this methodology, so there's nothing I can tell you to do except say "oh well!" and go to church. Or better yet, lay off the postmodern theory and read an elementary biology textbook.

You could always argue in your spare time.

Nah, I'm out - hopefully to find better things to do!

I'll read an elementary science book when you read the Bible, deal?

Interesting you would assume that I haven't read it. I have. I was raised in a Christian household. So, get on that biology text.
To: mlc9852
No one has proved to me that humans descended from apes. Not for lack of evidence or trying, but because of your premeditated refusal to accept it. It would speak more for your character if you would be honest about this, and be proud enough in your beliefs to proclaim that no amount of proof will sway you, than to continue to ask for and pretend to consider the evidence when you know in your heart that you will never accept it.

Just how does the notion of evolution make scientific investigation more valid?
Because die-hard evolutionists are soooo convinced of the fact of evolution that anyone who dares to disagree with them is simply and completely out of touch with reality. Therefore they are incapable of making intelligent, rational decisions, so ANY conclusions they arrive at are immediately suspect and promptly dismissed off hand. The minute you acknowledge a doubt about evolution, you lose all credibility.

At this point, I am requiring you to hand in your computer, internet connection, phone line, car, medication, and microwave, just a few of the things made possible by the scientific method. Since scientists have it all wrong, none of those things probably work for you anyway, so you might as well send them over.

I will not suffer fools any longer. this is my last post.

1. No, I will not answer your question because it is not a question.
2. If you believe this is unconstitional then that means you must consider the teacher in question to be congress, and the mentioning of a book about ID to be the establishment of a religion. Therefore--you're an idiot. I won't waste time on fools.
To: Vive ut Vivas
Well, I put way more stock in the Bible than a biology textbook. Either God created humans separately or He didn't a lied to us. I am not ready to call God a liar.
