I wonder who brainwashed these people...and who was their English teacher (if you were gonna say whitemeat, you are not very original!).



Can't believe I am making an OT post, but this is too damn funny and sad.

which is not to say we don't have epistemic faith built into our dna, but the battle being drawn out is a political one, not one based on a 'search for truth'


Faithfully yours in climbing,

Seemed like allot of valid questions that every person needs to ask themselves to reach their own decision.

Common mischaracterization: Evolution = Darwinism

The former, don't forget, was also put forward by Alfred Wallace who worked out the mechanism independently of Darwin. That says a lot right there.

The latter is the application of Darwin's ideas to the social sphere, where they don't belong. As soon as humans begin attempting to "guide" evolution, its not "natural selection" anymore, only arrogant behavior.

While looking at a display about evolution which indicated that we evolved from monkeys my 9 yr old grandson said, "Funny, I don't remember looking like that." Those early photos of us as cute little kids are all lies. They photoshopped the hair out.

Hey have you been getting out? Is the valley still dry these days?

Yeah was there for the last 2 weekends. It got some rain/snow last week. And will be dumped on starting tonight or tomorrow. Should be really pretty out there next week.

One of my favorites. It's hard not to imagine she's perpetrating multiple jokes here, but then again ... Kentucky

It appears that most of those leaving messages on the blog:
why they disagree with evolution theories,
look fairly intelligent and write fairly well.

Sigh.

Even though many of us would like to dismiss creationists as inbred redneck cretins, unfortunately many of them are quite intelligent.
My very-liberal ex-wife was a doctor’s daughter from Memphis, TN. Her parents were well educated, intelligent, Republican, conservative, worldly,-------- and religious. They believed in a literal biblical interpretation.

I remember the ex-father-in-law dismissing fossils and the whole science of geology as: “God just playing some little jokes to test if folks are worthy of Heaven.” (or not).

However! I do not understand how people can spend time viewing western U.S. landscapes, and still believe the earth is only 6,000 years old.





People are strange!

An federal government daily reaching further and further into people's lives, the IRS doing the political bidding of the administration, more people on welfare than the entire population of the US in 1880, division and rancor along racial and class lines, 90 some odd million people out of work who are capable of working, increasing trillions of dollars in debt, a health care system built on reprehensible lies that may eventually bankrupt the country---and what are people on this site worried and obsessed about in the social and political arena---the fact that a bunch of Baptists somewhere believe that a God created the universe.

oh the humanity !!!!
