Christian Group: Teaching science violates religious freedom

[Imsogone]

Oh now come on "Full Metal Alchemist and FMA: Brotherhood" were great shows no need to insult them.

He said evolution is a fact and that believing creationism denies reality, LOL!!

Would you care to support your apparent allegation that creationism is real and evolution is not with some actual facts - facts that don't depend on a book of myths that's badly translated and several millenia old?

Oh, and as a point of reality - it's she, not he.

Reading some of your posts, I must conclude that you have to be misrepresenting your true opinion in order to create a controversy and draw people into needless and pointless argument. Either that or you are sublimely and willfully undereducated.

Yes. We get it that you find acceptance of reality amusing. You can stop reminding us.

Or, you know, argue your point. But I assume you know that you will be soundly thrashed, which is why you resort to infantilism.

I dunno what's so funny about reality.

I'm also wondering if you mean to make any meaningful contributions to the thread.

This post combines total ignorance, a caps lock, and smiley abuse. I hereby award it the NSG Congressional Medal of

I am truly honored sir, but I abused no smileys. What Anachronous Rex said was legitimately funny.

Now THAT is smiley abuse for you ^

Oh right and there was absolutely zero ignorance in that post.

Of course, somebody who is ignorant of their ignorance would be ignorant of any ignorance in the post.

Both of which are true statements. Occam's razor tells us that the simplest explanation that fits the facts is most likely to be true. Evolution is the simplest explanation that fits the facts, while YEC is overly complex and convoluted, to the point where most of the time anybody claims there's ANY extra-biblical evidence for it, they're either lying through their teeth, mis-measuring something, etc, while all the biblical evidence is circular logic.

Global warning has nothing to do with religion, but then again, it's probably the same sort of people who get upset if you teach kids not to think being molested is normal.

Hm....

No, it's because they don't like Al Gore. We've been over this.

More likely because combating global warming isn't corporate friendly, which must mean it's poor friendly, and Jesus hates poor people.

Well it's not like the Messiah can be called at will can he. So be patient, it's the best we've got for now.

You want your child to be taught Christian beliefs? Then send them to a Christian school instead of Public.

[Myrensis]

What the hell does global warming have to do with religious freedom or creationism?

Because environmentalism calls into question our divine right to do whatever the hell we want with this planet and everything on it. If it was important God would have put it in the Bible.

This shouldn't be allowed tbh and I'm saying this as a theist. Sending children to faith schools is tantamount to indoctrination.

Or that argument's cousin, "Only God has the power to change the conditions on Earth, not humans.".

Good point. Sorry about my stupid post.

Kansas isn't really succeeding at all, but yeah, pretty much all of the Bible Belt seceding would be an overall gain for 'Murica.

It's not called the theory of evolution.
There's evolution, and there's the (scientific) theory of evolution by natural selection.

Evolution is still a bunch of BS

Tell that to drug resistant bacteria. Translation: you lose

[Liuzzo]

Its hysterical how often people confuse the conventional and scientific definitions of "theory".

The people aren't sure so it is actually considered a theory and unless concrete proof one way or the other is found it will remain a theory.

I paid attention in class.

The scientific method, heard of it? wash, rinse, repeat and continue. If you're able to replicate it over and over it's a little more concrete than Maybe God and Baby Jesus did it. And I'm a Christian.

I have a question for you - how the fuck is evolution not real?

Given the existence of self-replicating organisms whose genetic code goes through random transcription errors (mutations) with each replication, and the effects of those mutations, some harmful and some beneficial, on the organism, how the fuck would the organisms with the beneficial mutations not outlast and out-breed the organisms with the harmful mutations?

Because that's evolution in a nutshell.

The leprechauns prevent it.

Seriously, though, evolution is a mathematical inevitability unless something actively suppresses it. And since experiments have conclusively shown that it isn't being suppressed, either the leprechauns are personally doing it or math is.

[Utceforp]

Creationism is a belief, evolution is a fact. Teaching evolution doesn't deny anybody anything. Teaching creationism denies reality.

OK SUUUURE

Instead of just going "nu-uh" and laughing at us, why don't you actually, y'know, provide an argument? Even one of those illogical, circular-reasoning based "arguments" that you YECs are so fond of would be better than what you've provided so far.

[Shnercropolis]

I agree with this article completely. It only makes sense that teachers should only teach things that are irrefutable. So, we could follow the logical steps and not teach anything at all! Wow, think of all the money that would save.

[The Orson Empire]

What does global warming have to do with religious freedom???

And I personally think creationism should not be taught in schools (note, this is coming from a devout Christian). The state and religion should always remain separated.
