Evolution vs creationism AKA "The Monkeymen vs The Bible Thumpers"
The two need not be mutually exclusive.

Newtonian gravity is, indeed, considered a law, but that doesn't mean it's true, just that it's accepted as correct for most purposes. It certainly doesn't hold up a quantum scales. If it did none of us would be here.

No. General relativity and Newtonian physics are at odds with each other at nucleus-level scales..

Dispelling The Top 10 Myths About Staff Writers
[quote=Bob]You all should just love this [quote]
I found it funny.... Quote:
Quote:
This lack of knowledge in the face of overwhelming scientific, historical and biblical evidence, springs from a number of negative influences in contemporary society: Poor historical education in some regions of the country, misinformation in the mass media (especially Staff Writers), and deliberate obfuscation by supporters of Atheism and Macro Evolution. This topic is all about opinion and rhetoric, or else someone can simply lay out the proof by creating life from scratch in a laboratory out of "chemical soup". Until such an experiment can be demonstrated, then the notion that man evolved from a "chemical soup" into a single cell creature then into a humanoid is simply the expression of an unproven opinion at best, or the expression of a political agenda at worst. In other words an unproven "theory". |

Education still has a long way to go
Recent surveys have revealed that only about half of Americans realize that humans have never lived side by side with dinosaurs. Half of all Americans do not have the IQ to know if they read the book. There still good people just never had a chance to learn. Just think what the third world people have in the way of education it is sad real sad. I agree with Late Night.

A few different conversations here
ok. for starters, i'm not all that a religious person.. don't attend church. I do consider myself a spiritual person however..
I'm just wondering what different levels of evolution we are talking here. and what do others believe. I know some people say, "Humans didn't evolve from no monkeys" or the like.. I guess the question I want to ask.. is who here believes that we homo sapiens.. DID evolve from earlier species.. such as homo ergaster ? Did we not evolve from earlier species.. who didn't yet master the making of tools.. only used say rocks for certain things.. then after 1000's of years, learned to place sharp rocks on the end of sticks to create spears. Then Harnessed the power of fire.. etc.. What I want to ask, is there anyone here who does not believe this ? now I know, if you want to go back farther, back to simple primates/monkeys, or go farther back to a lifeless planet, and ask the question HOW DID ALL START ? personally I'd buy several explanations.. GOD for one, Aliens for another, a meteorite crashing into the primordial oooze that was laced with bacteria or something that got life started.. these are the answers I don't know, and will except multiple explanation, but in my heart, I accept the evolution of man from a much more primitive creature, to what we are now. |

Something had to get it all started...had to create something where there was once nothing...thats "God", "The Prime Mover", or "The Force", whatever ya choose to call it. The concept of "Intelligent Design" points to a creator...this is the intersection where evolution, or science, meets up with creationism. As I said earlier, the two theories need not be mutually exclusive. This intersection is called "Theistic Evolution"!

How can we be smart and stupid at the same time collectively?
How can we be smart and stupid at the same time collectively? Easy there rherz just start at one end of 70th street and walk to the other and see how much it can change along the way. From looking a how many views this thread has it would appear this is a hot button for all so with that said may the sheep be to the right and the goats to the left ! Thank all of you that have posted on this thread it has been fun.

The same thing could be said about the "Big Bang" theory. I believe in the Big Bang, but what happened before the big bang? Nobody knows. Where did matter come from originally to begin with? Energy cannot be created or distroyed, only tranformed from one state to another. Where did the original storehouse of energy in the universe come from? Only God knows. |
