Personality and intelegence>super sexy hot
Yet again I am not atractive to the stupid hot chicks.
Notice how even the ones who were pro evolution in schools where cut short before they said somthing dumb. |

sadly, America is usually viewed by the rest of the world as a bunch of southern clowns. |

Yup, half of them probably know absolutely nothing about evolution. |

Creationism as much merit in public school as the study of any other mythology.
Evolution is scienctific theory. That's not the same as hypothesis, which is what most ill-informed people assume is meant by the "theory" of evolution. Science is a methodology for finding answers and expanding knowledge. It is not a refuttal of creationism or religion because those things cannot be scientifically refutted one way or the other.
Faith and science can exist in the same world at the same time...but teaching faith in school violates the principle of a wall between church and state. |

They weren't as dumb-sounding as I expected.
If they had been, my comment would have read, "This is why women don't need rights or degrees in life, they CAN get by on good looks and no smarts. The men who aren't gay will take care of them (to the extent they deserve) and the ugly ones will die out. We all win." |

Given your initial statement, I'm not convinced by your new version. You support teaching one specific religion's creation story in schools as being as valid as science. Maybe you wouldn't put it in science classes, but that's not going to make much difference.
As for your posts repeating - IAB's commenting software is full of bugs. |

Angilion.
I hope you don't think that I support creationism being taught in the science class, because I don't. But I do think creationism should be made aware of. There'a making aware of and there's enforcing. I support the former.
oh, by the way, I don't know why my posts keep on repeating, I am only clicking reply once. |

Personally, I had both Science and Religious Studies as compulsory subjects in school, and I think this should be upheld worldwide. This gives children both sides of the story, allowing them to pick one or merge both :)
Why only those two? If you're going to teach children that every viewpoint is equally valid regardless of evidence, why not make Jedi studies compulsory too? Or Harry Potter's magic studies? How about the creation stories that Tolkien created for his books? At least they're internally consistent, unlike the Christian ones.
And which religions? There are so many that you can't possibly fit them all into school years.
Why doesn't it work both ways? So, for example, why shouldn't churches be forced to give equal time to promoting the idea that Christianity is utterly wrong on a completely fundamental level? |

Science and religion are not comparable. Science is the study of fact and observable data to understand the world around us.
Religion is what invisible men you think tell people to do things.
How 'bout you also teach *my* belief? That humanity came to exist because the All Mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster created a beer volcano, and when He woke up with a hangover he realized he had created a midget in His drunken stupor. He also loves to test our faith, and in the Gospel you learn that He put the dinosaur bones in the earth. At least *our* book of faith explains the reason why the bones exist. Therefor there is even MORE scientific proof for the Flying Spaghetti Monster "Theory" than for creationism.
Or, how about aliens? There is just as much proof that the driving force of evolution (like intelligent design) was aliens from the planet Xercion 12 in the Omega nebula. By the way, those guys are pricks. |

The last liar didn't answer, so I'll direct the question right at you, jeanpaul91.
Do you advocate that all children be taught that it is a valid scientific explanation that the sun is pulled around the Earth in a chariot pulled by two goats? That this is equally as valid a piece of science as the explanation that the Earth orbits the sun due to the gravitational force of the sun?
That's another religious story, by the way.
And yes, I am calling you a liar. You don't believe your own statement about teaching everybody everything in science classes, as if every idea has equal scientific merit. You're just trying to destroy science by making it illegal to teach children the basic principles of science - that explanations must match the evidence and that the validity of explanations varies depending on how well they do or don't match the evidence. |

i would vote for kaylin reque, based on her idea of teaching everything and having the people make their minds up.
And I'd vote for you to be exiled because of your dishonesty and your underhanded attempts to ruin your country.
Go look for some bloody integrity and stand behind your beliefs. You want to destroy science and education and replace it with mandatory faith? That's what you're advocating, so either you want it or you're an idiot. If you want it, have the integrity to say so. If you're an idiot, have the wisdom to not talk about issues you're so incapable of understanding.
You don't even believe your own statement.
You're not in favour of teaching doctors that the doctrine of the four humours is equally as valid as modern medicine, are you? Why not? If you believed your own statement, you would be. And you'd die if you got any serious medical problem. |

I was expecting that to be cut off around 980 characters, so I'll finish it off with another post:
The theory of evolution is an explanation of how evolution works. The fact that some parts of it have been changed to make it more accurate overall says nothing about evolution itself. |

What it is treated like by most people is a religion. As in, they don't question it, they argue to no end in defense of it without understanding it. They take it purly on faith that they are being told the truth.
If someone said that gravity didn't exist *and was trying to force schools to teach children that belief in the non-existence of gravity was science*, I'd be objecting the same way for the same reasons.
I know a great deal more about how evolution works than I know about how gravity works.
I very much doubt if you know how gravity works. Does that mean you doubt the existence of gravity and think people who accept the existence of gravity are acting purely on faith?
Evolution is as real and as obvious as gravity. It is a thing that happens, simple as that.

Someone doesn't know the definition of theoryyyyyy!! Maybe Mississippi should learn about the theory of gravity and see how well people do not learning about that. |
