Schools teach evolution now, I don't place much value on the subjective aspects of education in public schools.

 

Actually, schools teach the THEORY of evolution. Do you really want schools teaching religious theories?

 

If they teach the theory of evolution I want the "theory" of creation taught right beside it.

Evolution is a scientific theory. As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. Creation is a theory based on faith, and has no scientific value. Teaching faith in any class other than an optional religious studies class in public schools violates the Constitution, while teaching science does not. If you want creation taught, stick with private schools.

 

So are you questioning the fact I am American now because I don't agree with you?







We have been over this a thousand times, no need to get into it again. You said what you had to say so I will leave it in saying I believe creation has more evidence to support it than evolution does. Again we will not and do not agree on this so no sense in arguing about it.

 

You know, if everyone had just put that in their sig long ago, it wouldn't have to be typed every other day.

 

Not at all. You implied that it would only be liberals that would feel that way, while I contend that with all of the laws he's violated, any red-blooded American, regardless of political leanings, would be likely to feel that way. If I had said every rather than any, that would be a different story.


That's fair, but in the hope of lessening any tensions between supporters of the two schools of thought, allow me to try and clarify this. The reason why creationism can't be taught in public schools is because it is faith based. That doesn't mean that it's not correct, it just means that it doesn't have any scientific facts to support it. Evolution, on the other hand, has literally thousands of scientific facts supporting it. Once again, in the grand scheme of things, no one, legally speaking, is saying that creationism is wrong, but in order to be taught as a science, it has to meet the basic criteria of having some scientific facts to support it, that's all.

 

Here's how I'd explain it.
My truck has the orginal battery in it. The battery is over nine and half years old.
Now the scientific facts support that I ain't making it home today.
So, I'm driving faith based. (but I got jumper cables under the seat)

 

The general public probably has no clue exactly what our intelligence agencies knew or why we attacked IRAQ. I am pretty sure it was because they thought it was better for our country. Its funny how people on here think they know more about our country's defense than the President and his cabinet.

 

Well, I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't remain sitting in classroom for 7 minutes with his thumb up his rear.


What about those of us who base our opinions on interviews with those in his cabinet at the time?

 

Your comment on him sitting in a classroom shows your ignorance to the time and situation. By no means would anyone rush the President out of a secure location after such an event. At that time noone knew what was going on. Once the situation became known and the SS knew it was safe they left with the President. For all they knew snipers were waiting on them to leave the school to shoot the President or a car bomb was waiting. What a completely uneducated unthoughtful statement you made!

 

"...pretty sure..." You're contradicting yourself. It's ok. A lot of Republicans do that. - Og

 

Somebody gets it Excellent explanation PKRWUD

I get the feeling fundamentalists actually understand it too, (how could you not) but just can't stand that everyone else just doesn't think the same as they do.

 

Even with interviews we really do not know what goes on with the people running this country. I am pretty sure there is a lot we dont know about wether it be good or bad.

do you actually think the media tells us EVERYTHING that is going on in washington?

 

No he isn't, it's OK to be pretty sure when a Republican is doing something, you need to know everything and then wonder what you don't know when it's a Democrat. All clear now?
