e-Denounce

Great idea, but why not mark the button with 'D' for 'denounce'?"

I thought it was funny!

In the book

Just because it's in a book doesn't mean thats it's true!-Christian mom upon seeing son with genetics textbook.

Doubly hilarious because said mother would also claim that other things are true because they're in The Book.

Triply hilarious because the actual data (not necessarily the conclusions the book makes on said data) in the genetics textbook actually destroys the idea of Darwinist evolution (and PunkEek, if you care) pretty thoroughly. Michael Behe's book Darwin's Black Box makes some of the points involved in a really clear and readable way. So in theory Mum should be encouraging the reading of it...

I wonder... are we far enough off topic yet? (-:

Just wondering, exactly what parts of a genetics text book would disprove evolution? Also, using the quick statement of "just because it's in a book doesn't mean that it's true!" couldn't one quickly observe that this person (Michael Behe) is not simply lying and misinterpreting data in the same way he claims the darwinists are? Obviosly you have to question the standpoint of the people that are writing the books about religion and genetics or darwinism being in a stand off. I'd hate to say it but the ideas put forward in a genetics text book pretty much go against the bible's description of creation due to one VERY simple fact. I have a different Y chromosome than the people around me. As well, There are more than 3 observed X chromosomes in the world. Should we all be descended from Adam and Eve, we would all, without question have a single Y chromosome, and at most 3 X chromosomes. I'm sorry to dissapoint your desire for blatant faith over any kind of logic. I personally believe it to be possible for their to be correlations between scientific research and biblical stories, however as there is a huge amount of data pointing towards evolution being correct and as of yet NO evidence of ALL humans being descended from Adam and Eve, I will not accept them as the origins of the human race (with the exception of Jews or Islamics who can directly trace their bloodline to the patriarchs), and I will accept darwinian evolution as the best working model. Don't be stupidly faithful. God said to doubt all people, that includes the person who handed you the bible.

Adam and Eve isn't a literal play by play of the human race. Adam means "mankind". It's symbolic. The first 3 chapters of Genesis is a poem, that rhymes. It's main point is:
"I created EVERYTHING. I'll give you a quick ditty on how it started." Then he busts into song. :)
The Bible demands logic and does not demand blind faith. Pastor's are people who help you interpret the Bible, but, since they are human, they are prone to error.The first people to condemn are the people who take out passages that suit there particular situation. There is more detail on the creation of the world, that is NOT in Genesis that validates what we are discovering now. Read Daniel sometime. You'll start laughing at the people who quote Genesis by memeory.
