Texas: Put Creationism In Every Textbook!!!

[Tatooene]

Evolution is not falsifiable or testable either. Tell me, how does one test evolution? According to the Oxford Dictionary, "test" means "a procedure intended to establish the quality, performance, or reliability of something, especially before it is taken into widespread use." How does one test a situation that cannot be recreated? Quite simply, you can't.

Very fucking easily.

Taadaa. Next.

Something changed. Big whoop. Guess what, I used to be a baby and now I'm not. Am I proof of evolution too? A bacteria changing does not prove that the entire world came into existence by evolution.

Sometimes it seems like Texas is just trolling the rest of the US.

By the way, schools exist to teach people facts (such as evolution, gravity, ...) , not to teach people unsubstantiated beliefs.

Why does it bother people? Texas is a state and it will be able to do what is wants with its education department.

Jesus fuck, people. Go study the Supreme Court.

It bothers people because they replace facts with fairy tales.

[The Holy NeoSpanish Empire]

Even doing concrete evil things is enough. Flood, genocides and forcing his own people march through a desert to name a few.

It's kind of interesting how much the bible promotes killing.

The 1st amendment says no.

Because there is separation of church and state, and creationism has no place in school.

[European Socialist Republic]

But isn't Christian god supposed to be omniscient?
So surely, he saw an angle rebelling and creating tyranny but still chose to create him.

in the futore he may redeem

god is good an forgives everyone that want

Batman is good. Would you still call Batman good if he flood all of Gotham, thus drowning everyone except for Commissioner Gordon and his family whom he then forces to repopulate the city?

[Norstal]

Of course, it JUST HAS to be Texas doing this. I'd expect states like Utah to be doing this as well.

There is a little part of me cheering this on (primarily because I am a Creationist of sorts) and there is another part of me that is like "really? "

What are you opinions, thoughts, ideas???

EDIT: please be aware this isn't a religious bashing thread....I just don't want it to devolve into that.

I really wonder what their motivation is. Is it money? Power? I mean, if I didn't know it any better, they must be spies sent by China to ruin American education.

[Divair]

Something changed. Big whoop.

That's exactly what evolution is.

A bacteria changing does not prove that the entire world came into existence by evolution.

Not evolution. Abiogenesis. Entirely different and entirely irrelevant.

I suppose you can justify anything, in the name of God.

I'm talking about the murder of witches, children, gays, etc.

[Napkiraly]

Hey, the Chinese and Iranians got some good stuff.

The Indus Valley people probably wrote some cool myths, who knows?

And people in the Americas and Africa. Like that vomit one.

[Divair]

Oh let me guess, we're dealing with someone who has no understanding of the scientific context of the word "theory"?

In other words, every creationist ever.

Nu.

Texas is trolling the USA within an inch of our sanity, and then forgetting to add the smiley afterwards, leading us all to believe they're serious. An NSG style shitstorm then erupts as we think that they're being serious.

Silly Texas.

Do you understand what a fact is?

Well God has a shitty memory as he told them to basically every civilisation we know of and couldn't remember how the story went each time.

God could have just chosen those people too. Instead, he didn't choose them, and then blamed them for his actions and killed them. God is a jerk of lovecraftian levels.

[Democratic Republic of Sapientia]

Micro-evolution can be observed in the immune system "evolving" to protect against a certain pathogen, or in a bacteria "evolving" to become resistant to a certain drug. Macro evolution has never been substantiated, ever. Aside from some fossils that may or may not be indicative of genuine links, provided they're authentic to begin with. Falsely equating micro and macro evolution under the same "supreme scientific fact" umbrella-argument does nothing to advance acceptance of your theory.

Yep Micro Evolution over extended periods of time does not produce macro evolution. As this analgoy so cleaerly demonstrates.

If it does, we have no verifiable proof of it. As of yet, no species has yet to macro-evolve as a result of any combination of "micro" evolutionary trends. If they have, we have no documented proof. The only "proof" for macro-evolution, as I mentioned above, are some skeletons that purportedly demonstrate modern theory in action. How they demonstrate that is a mystery to anyone who does not firmly believe in evolutionary theory, as if it were a religion. At best they prove that there were other ape-like beings that once existed long ago, which is why evolution will always remain a theory, never to be proven as fact in the eyes of those who are at odds with the methodologies of the modern scientific community.[/quote]
Have you ever heard of ring species? Its the perfect example of evolution in action. Say we have a species in a valley that migrates to the next valley over with a slightly different climate, the species will then change slightly to adapt to this new climate. Over time, as this animal migrates further the original animal will be unable to produce offspring with the animals that have migrated the farthest.

Here's some basic reading.

BUT BUT CREATIONISM IS A THEORY TOO

No.
No it isn't.

supporting the evil , abortion and those inmoral things are not justified in the name god

[The Tundra]

no, you just yelled at me for saying that evolution has the most scientific merit out of all the

Did I not tell you evolution and abiogenesis are entirely different? Yes, I did. Go back and read the post properly.

creation theories

Not a creation theory. There's no such thing. We weren't created.

i'm not saying your wrong, i'm just saying your an asshole. and, maybe, you should be more clear in your statements if your talking about evolution and abiogenesis

Prove that God said them.
