More than 40 years ago, the film "Inherit the Wind" presented the controversy over the teaching of evolution as a battle between stick-figure fundamentalists who defend a literal reading of Genesis and saintly scientists who simply want to teach the facts of biology. Ever since, journalists have tended to depict almost any battle over evolution in the schools as if it were a replay of "Inherit the Wind"--even if it's not.

Of course, Moslem Theology, Buddhist Theology, Hopi Theology, Shinto Theology, Hindu Theolog, and Scientologist Theology make the same claim.

Translate this... What are you hooked on...what comes out of the opposite end of your mouth?

Haha, I ran it through a few languages, and amazingly, the ever lovely Italian did a more eloquent job than f.christian himself:

On that what you are you have coupled... that what exits from the opposite extremity of your mouth?

And your job is to evaluate the truth of these claims.

Darwinist, materialist, nihilist, Buddhist, naturalist, can we lump them together by a general philosophy?

It was therefore necessary that besides philosophical science built up by reason, there should be a sacred science learned through revelation.

And Plato, who coined the term, whenever he followed his teacher Socrates, admitted both.

Speaking of the have-it-your-way schnell-imbis, here is the result of many years of Darwininian just-so stories on a Darwinian(I picture someone who posts many SPAM placemarkers and considers it of no consequence). A well known Freeper Darwinian

DING! Fries are done!

Splifford the bat says: Always remember:

A mind is a terrible thing to waste; especially on an evolutionist.
Just say no to narcotic drugs, alcohol abuse, and corrupt ideological doctrines.

I believe that line of nonsense has already been demolished on your thread here:

Why the Burden of Proof is on the Atheist

I'm warming up for the archaeologist...

gonna wager everything---

the whole farm on one bet!

Prove the age---composition of the earth...

no possible ties!

How and why mountains were formed---THE PROOF/prediction!

Seismology---tests...

can prove/disprove the age of mountains and the Earth...

or at least my theory about them!

Below the ground...there is a plate---DETECTABLE

that matches the perimeter of every mountain---range...

proving the mountain/hills(appalachia types/large openings)...


were formed from beneath---via the plate openings...

and resulted in triangular pointing up extruded masses with plate parts/residue on top.

The tops of the mountain/plateaus/buttes would match the original opening/crack in the plates!

The bottoms of the mountain would match where the plates stopped...

probably still touching!

You don't need to excavate the earth to know if this is true or not...

your own intelligence/science will explain it to you!
