“Thank you, Steve. Coming to this site is like going to the zoo to watch the monkeys…”

…and being too stupid to comprehend the meaning of “Do not Feed the Animals.”

“By the way religion is a science because it uses the same methodology of science but a different media.”

This might be the dumbest sentence ever assembled….

This is wrong Tom.

There is abundant proof of so-called “macro evolution”. Actually, every piece of biological evidence ever found agrees with it, and none refute it. There’s barely anything in science that you can say that about.

The problem is, people refuse to take the time to learn what evo is and is not – but they don’t want that to limit their pontifications.

A little humility or a little work, please. One or the other.

Pat,

You are an adherent of a religion that wants to force your religion on others so you deny it is a religion that does not mean it is not one. Evolution is based on belief just like everything else that humans believe and that makes it a religion. In short I do not believe in your religion and do not want to support it in any way or form. By the way religion is a science because it uses the same methodology of science but a different media.

Here’s the briefing in question (1.5MB for any dial-ups): http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/media/nova-id-briefing.pdf

The question that the DI has a problem with is on page 10 under the FAQ section. This doesn’t seem to be a violation at all but instead is intended to help teachers answer similar questions. I doubt this will cause any problems.

Just keep telling yourself that, Pat. I happen to worship a creator, as recorded in the history book written by Moses, which we refer to as “Genesis”. Three of the world’s largest religions recognize this book and accept it as written by Moses. Darwin was an uneducated man and was raised an atheist by his grandfather. “Macro-evolution” has never had one ounce of proof, while “Micro-evolution” or adaptation is widely accepted as fact, yet it’s pushed on our schools to accept both theories as fact. “Science” is based on peer review and accepting criticism from other points of view, yet we aren’t allowed to point out the flaws in evolution, which proves it’s not scientific at all, but faith based.

So What! Teaching evolution(Atheist/deist theory of creation) in schools is a violation of the current interpretation(lie) about the separation of church and state and the courts allow it. The federal courts are corrupt. The question is whose point of view that corruption favors.
