it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
Your analogy to Occam's razor is specious, that is what I am saying, old bean. I think you still may be a fish, a fish in denial of your fishy ways.Originally Posted by JPaul

It doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is what is there, that's how courts get their decisions. I'm sure many people "believed" a defendent was guilty in many instances; but they cannot convict them of such on that alone.Originally Posted by vidcc
a sticker is not a church.
If the judge has not indeed said that evolution cannot be called into question; can you name me a way to do so; evading the reasoning of this court case?
Simply; a teacher cannot even state to their class that this is indeed a theory, not fact, in this judges ruling.
As stated earlier by someone; the sticker is a but redundant in the reminder of the Evolution theory. Why, then, would it be necessary in the eyes of some people (probably parents who forced the administration's decision) for a sticker to be put there unless the teacher was teaching otherwise?

Do you know everything? do you know 3% of everything? Could it be that what you don't believe in is in the other 97%?

The judge simply understand that only religious people have any interest in discrediting it. Why place a sticker to tell people what the word theory means?
So when the teacher talks about the theory of evolution, he is not stating fact, but a theory. A theory that can be debated.
Debated how?
Well, as I have stated, natural selection and adaption are closed book proven, but how does evolution explain original creation.
At present, scientific evidence falls very short of explaining this, in my opinion.
But we can't just abandon ship and give all credit to God. Firstly, it differs the question to "Where did God come from", and secondly it ejects us from any further thought. You believe it or you don't. No further evidence, thought or experiments will change this. That is NOT what science is about. Science and scientific thought is about developing theories from the available evidence.
Faith based beliefs are for the Church.

Exactly. That last sentence states my case.Originally Posted by hobbes
Faith based beliefs are for the Church. Macro-evolution is a faith based belief; there is virtually no scientific evidence that the big bang happened, and it breaks many scientific laws we hold today. It's not science, its faith on our tax dollars. I really see no need for creationism to be taught in schools; likewise, it's not science. But if Creationism. or intelligent design is out, Macro-evolution must be out. Have a private school teach it, and its students pay for it; not me.
Yet I went through months of the theory of evolution unbenownst to me on what was really happening until recently.

Are you saying that evolution has absolutely no scientific basis.Originally Posted by spinningfreemanny
Are you on crack?
This wouldn't even be an issue if it didn't tread on religious fanatic's beliefs.
If what you say happens then theories wouldn't be able to be taught and would have no possibility of leading to breakthroughs in science.
Creationists suck!!!

That is sheer idoicy. Macro-evolution can be supported by logical argument. The precise delineation of such is yet to be presented.Originally Posted by spinningfreemanny
The fact that the universe is expanding is the basis of the "Big Bang", what are you babbling about?
What scientific law does "macro-evolution" break, name one.
Macro-evolution is not based on believe or not. It is up for support or refutation, it is a theory.
Creationism is not.

1st and 2nd law of thermaldynamics
conservation of angular momentum
That's off the top of my head.
if you want to know why; Your going to have to follow the link
Just, watch. It's pretty amazing, and it's always worth exposure, if anything.

I followed the link, then I investigated the author of the site.
I found this, which pretty much leaves "Dr" Kent Hovind discredited, wouldn't you say?
