Re: Creationism in Schools
Semi...you'r greatly contradicting yourself here.
Re: Creationism in Schools
and “people’s knowledge” of FACTS regarding science is very strong? as strong as steel?
Re: Creationism in Schools
No contradiction - the theory of evolution is based on facts, religion is not. Even if you think there is a 'missing link' in the theory of evolution, it is still based on scientific study whereasm creationis has nothing to do with science or facts whatsoever. Not to say it shouldn't be considered, but it belongs in religious studies, not in a science class.
Re: Creationism in Schools
OK, sharaabi, how about also teaching that human existence on earth is a result of a large duck sitting on jupiter that took a dump and shat all over the universe leaving miniscule galatic flow of duck siht that eventually resulted in human beings. There is absence of proof of this theory too. and just as valid as creationism. I might even say more so...since we know ducks exist..
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ I hate to say this but I agree with you seminole regarding "belongs in religious studies, not in a science class."
Re: Creationism in Schools
Fine with me, if thats what you think YOUR origins are.
I agree.
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ good, so we are clear, kids in public schools in the US will be tuaght that humans came from God, Humans came from monkeys and humans came from intergalactic duck siht.
as far as my origins, I am human. I am not sure where jackasses like you came from. I am thinking God.
Re: Creationism in Schools
chacha jee, keep it cool. Notice the operative word in my statement. Considering the fact that you'r a hindu, you could very well have been from anywhere ;)
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ so lets explore that..you are saying that muslims are not human. and are made by god but are not products of evolution or ducksiht. Wow..you learn something every day. So what species would you say are muslims?
Re: Creationism in Schools
Great and religion classes don’t belong in public schools as there is no way you can cover them all.
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ excellent point. Sen dyou kids to catholic schools, madrassas, yeshivas, Guru Nanak academy, Shao lin Temple, Swami chadraswami samaj vidhayala and teach them the crap about the hand of god. Leave public schools alone from such lunacies. danke very much
Re: Creationism in Schools
No actually i meant hindus like you are not humans. In case you failed to notice.
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ Not Human?
Is PD a Jinn??
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ really, genetics proves otherwise. Unless now you are saying genetics is not scientific and we need God to tell us the make and model of humans.
Re: Creationism in Schools
Everything in universe is created by Allah, since science and knowledges are parts of universe...I conclude that PD must make a trip to Dallas and come over to SL to meet me.
Re: Creationism in Schools
^ prove it Kaleem and I will be on the next plane to Dalls with box seats and lap dances by the cowgirls inhand.
Re: Creationism in Schools
Microevolution can be proved thru experiments (variation of variable and keeping control).
Macroevolution cannot be proved thru experiments - only be examining fossil records. Its not the same thing as a true experiment.
Therefore, if we're to talk about Darwinian evolution as being scientific...its actually not real science. Its just a theory that ties in together some evidence with some logic thrown in.
Design theory is the same thing. Both are inductive approaches, and therefore, they should both be taught. And you don't have to bring in religion into it either. Ever heard of the philosophical thought-experiment of watch design?
Either teach them both in a science class, or teach them both in a philosophy class. Personally, I feel they should both be taught in philosophy classes.
Re: Creationism in Schools
I am a firm believer in Darwinism. There are some gaping holes in the theory, that still have not been adequately explained. First, Evolution presumes a spontaneous creation of "life" from primordial ooze. To date no one has been able to completely create this spontaneous life in the lab. Second, it appears as if evolution advanced far more quickly than can commonly be explained by most evolutionary theory. Third, it is difficult to explain the complexities of "consciousness" using evolution.
Lastly the existence of such magnificent creatures as MyVoice simply cannot be random....
Re: Creationism in Schools
believer or disbeliever?
Re: Creationism in Schools
I very much believe in Darwinism, but I believe that there are some elements that argue for divine intervention.
