Blinded by their own pride and corrupt standards they are willing to stifle anyone who comes up against them.

Ive been telling people the same thing for years, and they just look at you like your retarded. Its sad how most of the public doesnt even think to question the educator's today. Maybe this will help open peoples eyes alittle.

It takes skill to actually debate a subject alone. And while Knot is pretty good at holding her ground, the other person that posted here needs a bunch of people around him for support or he'll start name calling and crying. Then he'll put you in ignore, to his own detriment.
Me, I just like kicking anthills and poking at the ants.

I agree that science can be/has been dogmatic and/or twisted for political ends.

That being said, I've never seen a decent argument "disproving" evolution. Most "intelligent design" science is hysterical junk.

I never saw what it was about evolution that gets people's panties in a wad to begin with. It's simply a mechanism, and is in no way, shape or form "anti-God."

It's just a fact -- like gravity -- part of how physical existance operates under the Creator's will.

Its isnt even close to fact. (well some parts of it are) There is a ton of info that disproves much of what evolution teaches. They havent found a single example of a trasitionairy fossil. Not one. Are you a scientist? How are you able to determine what is "Hysterical junk" and what is not?

Why can't it all work together. Couldn't evolution itself be "intelligently designed"? Like the Big Flood wasn't just God making it rain, maybe it was a decent sized meteor hit in the Pacific or something like that.
Like I said before, the symbiosis of everything from the smallest atom to the force that hold galaxies together is too orderly as far as I'm concerned for it to not have had some "help" along the way. It's hard for me to think it's all just random.

I believe that Darwinism and Creationism are the same story told in different ways.

Darwinism attempts to fill in some of the detail, but I don't see how it is contradictory at a high level

I guess we really have no choice since this is all we know, and haven't been around but less than a snap of the universe's "finger", but I think the key will probably not be found here.

I used to think that as well. After all God said he made man from the dust of the earth. However after closly looking at DNA and how it works, its obvious, at least to me, that evolution is impossible. At least the part of evolution that says a species evolved into another.

I also have serious problem with the whole "origin of life" theory, but thats a whole other matter.
