Not that I'm wanting to debate this, but what are you basing this statement on?
FINAL NOTE: Private schools can teach whatever they like, but if they're concerned about getting their kids into college then they better teach evolution because most colleges won't accept students without it. I don't remember being taught evolution and got into college just fine. I don't remember being asked if I was taught evolution or not, but what my GPA was and what I got on my SAT's. That sounds to me like a scare tactic rather than a logical argument. -----Original Message----- From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 10:28 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: ID is a pretty sh*tty science > Matt wrote: > Evolution claims that man evolved from single-celled organisms that are > accidents of chemistry.

What you're speaking of is an extrapolation which is NOT part of evolution. That extrapolation is evolution-based, but is not part of evolution. 2.) The Bible is a totally subjective document. Everything you see, touch, or do contradicts something in the Bible and that's before you factor in human interpretation. And that's before you factor in Biblical translations. And that's before you factor in Canonization. And that's before you factor in sourcing. 3.) If parents want their students to learn ID then they can send them to church or private school. Public schools are to teach known the basics in a secular manner. Any modifcations to those core teachings can be made outside of school or the children can be removed from school completely. The only way you'd have a point here, is if the government insisted that, say, Catholic schools MUST teach evolution. FINAL NOTE: Private schools can teach whatever they like, but if they're concerned about getting their kids into college then they better teach evolution because most colleges won't accept students without it. And if this ID crap keeps up, eventually you'll have ID colleges which will have to give way to ID businesses that hire ID grads from ID colleges. What a pile of crap. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:189636 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=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
