Scientists Back Off of Ardi Claims (Evos give climate-hoaxers a run for their money...LOL!)

In May 2009, a remarkably well-preserved extinct primate, nicknamed “Ida,” was hailed as one of the most important fossil finds ever. It had features that some interpreted as a link between two primate body forms. At the time, ICR News suggested that its evolutionary significance was far overblown, predicting that the scientific consensus would offer retractions. Those retractions came three months later, confirming that the fossil―called Darwinius―was really just an extinct lemur variety...

Who do you worship? The Intelligent Designer or God?

[metmom]

Just like an evo. They demand links and backing up what you say, then they attack you for providing it.

As expected.....

[ColdWater]

Just like an evo. They demand links and backing up what you say, then they attack you for providing it.

I didn't attack you for providing the links. I used the information in your links to attack your position! Just like you to lie about what happened.

[metmom]

So the selfish parents who didn’t want their kids to hear about something besides evolution just HAD to go and sue the school and school board and waste the taxpayer’s money instead of just having their children opt out of that section of class, homeschooling their kids, or enrolling them in a no-God allowed private secular school at their own expense, the same option they give Christians who object to what’s being taught in the public schools.

Forcing others through litigation is such the way to go. I guess creationists and Christians need to start getting on the bandwagon more. You know, forcing everyone to believe that the world is only 6,000 years old.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If it’s acceptable for the evo-atheist, secular humanist crowd, it’s good for the Christian/creationist crowd.

Just like an evo. They demand links and backing up what you say, then they attack you for providing it.

Please show where I attacked you for providing links. You can't. Why do you try to rewrite history that is only minutes old. Is it out of habit? A habit that began when you were two years old?

[metmom]

Now that is expecting a lot, bb.

The parents are the taxpayers. They were suing to have a say in how their money was spent.

Her are som selfish parents who didn’t want their kids to hear about evolution just HAD to go and sue the school and school board and waste the taxpayer’s money instead of just having their children opt out of that section of class, homeschooling their kids, or enrolling them religious school at their own expense

09/14/07 Creationist Lawyer Defeated (Again)
On 7 September 2007, Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. issued a summary judgment against plaintiff, Larry Caldwell, in Caldwell v. Roseville Joint Union High School District et al. Caldwell, a lawyer and parent in the Sacramento suburb of Roseville, had unsuccessfully lobbied the RJUHSD Board of Trustees in 2003 and 2004 to adopt his “Quality Science Education Policy” mandating that alternatives to evolution be taught in science classes. Following Board rejection of his proposals, Caldwell filed suit against RJUHSD and school officials in federal court, claiming his civil rights had been violated during the controversy. The Discovery Institute and a number of media sources on the religious right publicized Caldwell’s case. In his decision, Judge Damrell ruled that Caldwell provided insufficient evidence to support his claims of religious discrimination.

Christians are not creationists?

[xcamel]

or a gravely uncivil society, in the case of creationists.

[tacticalogic]

Nice little flame factory you’ve got going. You edit the title to bait the “evos”, then people are waiting to jump their ass for showing up on the thread.

[Buck W.]

Yes, God is the creator. Evolution does not address creation.

[Tramonto]

So you believe that life was Intelligently Designed?

[Buck W.]

Why did you capitalize?

[Tramonto]

Sorry about that,

Do you believe that God Intelligently Designed(ID) life?

[ColdWater]

Sorry about that,

The ID movement is winning y'all over bit by bit.

....or a gravely uncivil society, in the case of creationists.

Please do explain to me, xcamel, in whatever detail you can provide, how creationists pose a danger to civil society.

I hear your allegations to that effect. But: Where's the beef?

I'm all ears, awaiting your response with baited breath....

FWIW, I'd judge the creationists more on the side of civil society than I do whatever breed you belong to.

JMHO, again FWIW.

Want to challenge me on this?

Goodness knows I hope you will....

[betty boop]

Now that is expecting a lot, bb.

Seemingly so. But on the other hand, it is unwise for us humans to judge such matters. We need only to be aware of them.

God's still in charge.

Just look at Huckabee!
