Texas: Put Creationism In Every Textbook!!!

[The Tundra]

i really wish people would treat others with respect.

how about we add common courtesy to the school curriculum?

[Ruridova]

....god fucking damn it, are we trying to look like idiots?

[Utceforp]

Yes, God cannot be proven or disproven without infinite knowledge. But you have the burden of proof. You need to prove God exists, or we should just assume he doesn't.

"Unfortunately for scientific minds God can not be discovered or demonstrable by purely scientific methods. But this does not prove anything, just that they are using the wrong tools for the job."

Let me guess. You're going to do the "blah, blah blah science isn't everything FAITH is also a way of looking at the world" argument, aren't you? If Religion doesn't need to involve reality, than reality doesn't need to involve religion. Science is for reality, religion is for fantasy.

[Gauthier]

Nuke Jesus.

No, not Jesus! He had swag! Plus he's dead.

Plus do we want to deal with Zombie Jesuszilla?

[Pavlostani]

Thank God I live in Canada, where we don't put creationism on textbooks.

Must be nice, living where summer is shorter.

....god fucking damn it, are we trying to look like idiots?

By "we" I assume you mean Texas.


In which case, yes. It appears so.

"Unfortunately for scientific minds God can not be discovered or demonstrable by purely scientific methods. But this does not prove anything, just that they are using the wrong tools for the job."

Prove that God exists before insulting science, please.

[Imperializt Russia]

It'd almost be safe!

Bit of fallout reaches Arkansas. I think its an acceptable sacrifice.

A mere 300-1050 rads

[Yumyumsuppertime]

It's rude to post evidence and demand you try to disprove it?

i don't think you can put your dissertation is snarky, rude, and uncivil manner and the professors will accept it.

His evidence is about a page worth of links to scientific sources. There's nothing snarky or rude about that, not even a "Suck it!" at the end of the list.

[Pandeeria]

Says the guy who thinks the bible is a source.

says the guy who thinks darwins book instead of what god said itself

God has no evidence.

[The Corparation]

youre a bunch of fanatical atheists telling lies instead of facts

Wait, how did you work out that we're lying?

Because his millennium old religious text doesn't mention it therefore it's not true.

[Utceforp]

Says the guy who thinks the bible is a source.

says the guy who thinks darwins book instead of what god said itself

Prove that God said it.

[Opuntia]

You can ask me. I live in Finland.

Evidence is rude, didn't you know?

[Great Nepal]

Thank God I live in Canada, where we don't put creationism on textbooks.

Proposal: Canada absorbs Texas into its territory and receives £100 trillion as compensation.

[Genivaria]

Actually I'd very much support a mandatory Ethics class being taught from elementary school and up, I've actually been wanting to start a thread on that.

[Gauthier]

Says the guy who thinks the bible is a source.

says the guy who thinks darwins book instead of what god said itself

Says the guy who thinks God wrote down the Bible instead of some clown with an agenda claiming God told it to him.

[Nationalist State of Knox]

Wait, how did you work out that we're lying?

Because his millennium old religious text doesn't mention it therefore it's not true.

Well, he has me there.

Your argument is invalid, because:

Says the guy who thinks God wrote down the Bible instead of some clown with an agenda claiming God told it to him.

Even should we accept the premise that the Bible is true and divinely inspired, that merely means that God approved of what was in it. That'd make God at best a publisher, not the writer.

Their own evidence destroys them, so can we just ignore them?

God no. We already have Alberta and Quebec, everything Texas has to offer would be redundant.

yes, infact, it is. he is being dismissive, arrogant, sarcastic, and rude. which, infact, is not how you teach people are change minds.

Theres also the oil in Texas, plus they can build summer camps... But of course, that was only an opening offer.
