So, how exactly do you test evolution? How do you prove that evolution is not the result of a greater power influencing the change?
The question of God will always come into play because to those people that believe God created the heavens and the earth and creatures and man, then how will you ever prove to them that God does not exist, and that God did not design the creatures, in the order prescribed in Genesis? -----Original Message----- From: Larry C.

It concluded that there was evolution and the teachings of the Catholic Church were not in conflict. Same with the Episcopalian and most other protestant churches. Only the evangelical churches that follow a prescript of biblical literalism or other fundimentalist belief object to the scientific theory of evolution being taught in science classes. I am all for competing theories being taught in science classes. Provided the following: the competing theory fit within the same criteria as any scientific theory; It explains the available data more adequately than the current theories and is testable. Only the theory of evolution fit all these criteria. Creationism fails on all of them and Intelligent Design fails on all as well. I have no objection to your practicing religion in its proper place. By wanting to practice it in the school, gives a government stamp of approval to that religious belief. That directly violates the separation clause. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:167757 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
