I'll take my time. I'm no Physicist, but understanding the basic principles is a satisfaction unto itself.Too bad so many folks can accept physics and say "Yeah, that's science" and look at evolution theory and say "Nope, the Bible says."

Do you think evolution is in the constitution...the law of the land?
To: f.Christian
Do you think evolution is in the constitution...the law of the land? Why no! Like every science it is open to exploration!
Let me ask you a question: Do you think the Bible, your Religion is the constitution, the law of the land, and that all Science is bunk?
I get to do a f poem now! Woo Hoo!
Minds in control -- CLOSED!
No care for what we are ..... Outrageous!
We were born in caves ....
Then Science took us out --- HOW DARE Science!
Caves were nice. We painted stuff.
I refuse to leave my cave --- Evolutionists!

Let me ask you a question: Do you think the Bible, your Religion is the constitution, the law of the land, and that all Science is bunk? Evolution---social engineering is bunk---EVIL!
Science---God is great---good...no problem!
Is ludderville your home---CAVE/hole?
To: f.Christian
Wow. What an amzing reply. Gee, what an amazing argument you present, I am in
awe of your debating skills!
I have converted to dumping Science because of your insight:
Evolution---social engineering is bunk---EVIL!
Science---God is great---good...no problem!
NOTE TO NORMAL FOLKS: I'm just kidding.

I have converted to dumping Science because of your insight: And you think evolution is science--normal?

As I see it, evolution is an ideological doctrine. If it were only a "scientific theory", it would have died a natural death 50 - 70 years ago; the evidence against it is too overwhelming and has been all along. The people defending it are doing so because they do not like the alternatives to an atheistic basis for science and do not like the logical implications of abandoning their atheistic paradigm and, in conducting themselves that way, they have achieved a degree of immunity to what most people call logic.

And you think evolution is science--normal? As opposed to science--abnormal? Or science--supranormal? Or science--just science???
To: SteveH
Maybe some of these evolved into chupacabras too... :-)

"No one doubts the improbability of events. Your existence is highly improbable. So is mine. Think of all the events in just the past 100 generations which could have caused any of our ancestors to behave differently than they did. Yet all the past events happened, naturally, step by step, and here we are, so mere improbability is not much of an issue."
"The facts upon which evolution theory is based are rather well established. Mutations happen. They really do. And new species appear over time, really. And they appear in form and DNA to be related to pre-existing species. No joke, that's the evidence. In every generation, those best suited for the game of life are most likely to breed the next generation. Mutation and natural selection. And time, lots of time. They're the stuff of evolution."
"The results are always going to be seen as improbable in retrospect, but that's how things happen. It's such a reasonable explanation that there's no need to wave it all away and grasp instead for an external "designer" for whom there is no evidence at all.
"So I don't see ID as an "honest attempt" to deal with improbability. Rather, it's a clever attempt to confuse the poorly trained public with slick (but unscientific) patter."
