I would be okay with that, Wht i have an issue with is it is stated as FACT in schools and not explained as an idea and POSSIBLE explanation of macro evolution.
There are many holes in the evolutionary theory and more are found and ignored than found and explained,
Take for example that the rocks date the fossils and the fossils date the rocks.
Also, I'm horrible at analogies, gimme a break.
(Also, I'm a creationist, however I'm not a young earth creationist, I think we were put here to figure out the workings of the universe...what was that Ecclesiastes 3:11 iirc?
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
Ever wonder why we always look to the sky when we think hard and deep? Now you know.
I'm also a firm believer in if God put us here, who's to say he didn't put others out there like us?
Aweful big universe just for us to have all to ourselves eh?
I'd lol if ET came to visit and asked us as a planet if we knew Jesus christ as our personal lord and savior...I would absolutely DIE laughing...Would atheists and evolutionists dare to speak out against it then?
Hey, by your reasoning I could build an engine without the crank because i didn't know what it was for and it would still run....try again.
I say we teach both and let the children make informed decisions on it later as to what they believe.
Evolution is to sporadic for me to accept it as anything more than a funny Idea, to me it equates to putting all the ingredients for spaghetti into a bag and shaking it around, plating it, and saying "look spaghetti!" without cooking it.
You cannot make something without first knowing all of the ingredients.
I Personally like Tesla's stance on the issue...
Well maybe if Macintosh would make a good product and not just a turd in a shiny white case their profits would go up, I've yet to see an apple product beat its android powered equivalent in functionality or usability.
If I Mod my android OS I still get to keep my warranty, if i so much as hit a settings button wrong on the Iphone I get hit with copyright infringement and to top it all off my phone bricks. Nope, I prefer a device i can do more than one or two things on, after all, once i pay for it its mine to use as i see fit.
I REALLY hope samsung wins this one....I'd rather not have to carry an iphone...My Android device is a wonderful piece of work and no Macintosh product will EVER usurp it....because i can mod mine without breaking its warranty.
My personal favorite, the "electric supercharger" for your car(I'm an ASE certified parts specialist, the sheer stupidity of people buying this product is laughable, even more-so the fact that people tell me their car is supercharged and i open the hood to see a little computer fan in their air intake). So why have those not been taken offline yet?
I'm not against a company doing what it does but if your going to be anal about one thing be anal about ALL of it.
Wow, sure is atheist in here......
I openly encourage you to disprove creationism then.
I'll STILL be waiting in 50 years for someone to be able to do it.
Before you ask, No I'm not a young earth creationist, I AM however a believer in intelligent design, the universe is far to ordered in its chaos to be a product of "Just the right amount of X and Y at the exact point in time" Random chance? Really? HAH
Because people will bitch about anything they don't like and blow it out of proportions just because.
Fox news, in most cases, has about as much relevant info as MSNBC and CNN....this is why i only get my news from sources outside the mainstream media....you know, BBC and associated press.
hmmm....good and bad all at once, good on the fact that they would teach all the points pertaining to both ID and Evolution and letting the kids decide for themselves which is the one they believe more. Bad because I'm sure some idiot is going to abuse this law(50/50 split it will either be a hardcore atheist or a hardcore Christian)
Funny thats how it used to be....when did history and science become editorials?
Man that place was amazing, such a great search engine.
I stayed with altavista and astalavista all the way through college, at least up till Google came around and ruined it all....or was that made it better?
As a self proclaimed expert in the field of economics, could you please post some of your credentials?
But seriously, We DON'T know what it would do to the economy, its a fickle beast, and I would much rather NOT have to pay an extra 5 dollars at the gallon because The current numb-nuts in charge of our country want to sit in a chair and discuss "why did this happen what caused it", From what i can tell, and I'm no expert, the rig ignited, melted its supporting structure, fell down thousands of feet and crunched the line, and until we figure out how to make a rig thats invulnerable to a large thermonuclear warhead, I don't think we WILL know what to do.
A good way to fix it?
Remove all the bureaucrats, and let the engineers do what they do best,Fix the thing.
In two more weeks the relief well drills will reach the point where they can permanently close it off(one is less than 3000 ft from hitting its intersect point, it takes about 10-12 days to spin that far, but don't take my word for it, its on BP's website), and i trust these engineers more than i trust any man/woman in Obama's administration.
But this whole thing is about the same as Me not driving my other cars because one of them blew a pan gasket, and I'm afraid that because one blew they all will. Keep drilling, Sure, do a better check over the ones still running before you leave your house, but Business as usual.
And before you say "OMG you don know anything about living in teh gulfs" LIKE HELL, I worked a shrimper in new orleans for 3 years, I know how much this is hurting businesses down there, the company I used to work for down there has packed up their boats with oil retrieval equipment and helped out with the leak as much as they can, BP is paying them for lost wages AND is also paying them 300 a day per person to do this, they know they made a mess down there and are doing everything they can to fix it, One bad apple doesn't mean the whole bushel is the same(unless your a politician).
So remove The entire obama admin from it, all they are doing is putting undue stress on already tight wound engineers.
To the engineers of the BP oil containment teams, fellow shrimpers of the gulf coast, and all who are trying to make the best of a bad situation, I Tip my rum to you. Cheers
When will people learn that It isn't the governments job to control private industry?
Shit happens, Sometimes it is of no fault to any company or man/woman.
Old equipment that they can only service when the government says its okay?
Seems to me like the government is the one to blame because of all the regulations and ridiculous tariffs they shove up the industries ass whenever they go and send a crew down to work on oil caps and other equipment that keeps all of this from happening.
You want to stop oil spills in the ocean?
Let the drills tap more LANDMASS.
On water operations are twice as likely to have issues because of all the policies, regulations, and anti-industry/anti-corporation BS they have to deal with.
Yes its terrible when something like this happens, but if the industry is allowed to do what they need to do to service their equipment without a bunch of politicians getting involved then i think they would happen far less frequently.
Why Not nip it in the bud and just ban people in california from reproducing?
I mean if they cannot take responsibility as a parent and make their kids eat healthy, then should they even be able to raise a child?
I was raised on deep south food as a kid(having lived in all parts of TN, New orleans, and to some extent St Louis), But I'm fit and trim as anyone else in my age group is.
Why? Because after all those DELICIOUS meals I worked off the weight, because my parents had the sense to make me do chores and exercise.
It isn't the corporations, Nor is it the states problem if your lil timmy is 200 pounds, it lies solely with the parents who raised him, set boundaries, turn off the television(OMG but its so haaaard), It IS possible, I went without a television for 6 years as a kid(from 7 till i was 13), and let me tell you what those were the best years of my childhood.So Yeah, My statement still stands, Ban californians from reproducing, Problem solved(special permits to be issued to parents who pass an IQ test).
This just goes to cement the fact that obama and his entire administration are a pack of fudging idiots.
Leave it running, or sell it off to private contractors.....oh wait, then they put caps and tariffs on them for breaking atmosphere and producing those much abused and misunderstood greenhouse gases the media is always using out of context.
Then boom, they turn a loss into a profit and the industry dies....if we lose our space program, we lose our country.
Everyone i speak with says "we will just use russian rockets to get to the iss and satellites....that, is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard.
What happens if russia decides they don't like us anymore?
Or what if one of our spy sats goes down and needs maintenance?
Will they allow us to go up in THEIR rockets if a satellite of ours that circumvents and watches THEIR bases?
It makes no sense to me, am i alone in that?
Then I guess it can no longer be called science then can it?
All supposed "research" these days is tainted by political or monetary gain, sadly i do not foresee this being fixed anytime soon so for now we shall call science "shenanigans"
Honestly, i think a room full of 5th graders could get more research done than our vaunted "experts".
It doesn't help that the masses are far too easily swayed by the media about things "well, if he's on CNN/msnbc/fox/crazy science channel with a lab coat and nerd glasses i guess he knows his stuff".
I seem to remember this thing called snake oil, and i seem to remember the salesmen all drove cadillacs and wore armani.
Now we trade the caddy for a prius and the armani for a lab coat and voila....its a scientist in a box, ready to spread hysteria to the masses.
Seems to me like good ol government wants to have every major facet of our lives in their control.
See, look at it like this.
Obama makes it so that telecom "owes" the govt by giving them stimulus, which they will be obliged to pay back, when they cannot do so in the way the gov wants, they snatch em all up and make em government owned and run. Then, if good ol uncle sam so desires, he can completely and totally turn off what he wants, when he wants.....its shaping up to be quite the regime.....looks like 2010 just became the new 1984.
"Im Sorry dave you can't watch that"
Seriously, it will be connected to a network correct?
How easy you think it will be to infiltrate said network and use these for general spying of the populace?
well, on the bright side, blizzard may delay their games,
But at least we know it will be nearly bug free when it comes to shelves....
I would rather wait a bit longer for a diamond than get a lump of coal right now.

Nikola tesla called me last night....from beyond the grave. He said, And i Quote "FUCKING CALLED IT CHAPS"

All the better to enslave us with, because a slave is much easier to keep when they are to stupid to know the difference.
