I have found the one in Overland Park, KS to be completely different. I have to know what I want and usually have to point it out to them myself after I get the blank stare.
They seem to have everything, so I shop there when I need something fast or when know I can get it cheaper than I can online. But I wouldn't eactly rate their employees as "knowledgable".
Those auto mowing machines are already quite possible. The problem is that no one wants to be liable for version 1.0, that malfunctions and mows over the neighbor kids.
That, and the fact that it is cheaper to just hire those neighbor kids to mow their lawn.
There is no way to disprove evolution. That is why they haven't done it. There is also no way to disprove that _I_ created the earth. But, that doesn't mean we should teach it in schools.
De-emphasize means that we can teach the scientific process and research methods without saying everything came from this species billions and billions of eons ago, and than magically transformed into this species. You know, actual science instead of fairy tales.
Yeah, I know what you mean. No one likes that they keep teaching kids about Santa Claus in school, but we can't DE-Emphasize it since no one ever wants to discuss it.
"On a small scale, evolution has been observed time and time again. Whether its a gradual change in the color of animals to match their background and making them harder to hunt or speciation in a body of animals that spread out over long distances, evolution occurs."
That's called adaptation, not evolution. And yes, it does occur. There's a pretty big difference though.
"In the realm of macro-evolution, every day new mutants are born. 99.9999% then go on to die before mating, and this too is observable."
so far, throughout this research, every specimen that is mutated has either reproduced offspring like the original species, or they cannot reproduce. that would lead me to believe the evolution could NOT occur, not the contrary.
I would argue that evolution does not have plausibility, statistically speaking. If you would look up the probabilities of evolution occuring, even over "billions and billions" of years, you know what I'm talking about. Statistically, we are not possible.
My God was hammered to a tree... because of me. but death couldn't stop him. -- There's far too many holes in evolution to base your faith on it. If your rational at all you would realize that. There's far too few evidence for evolution to have taken place.
If your not rational, then any mistaken evidence will sway you, and you aren't worth arguing with in the first place.
It is my government, just as much as it is yours. I agree that "you're just not free to shove you belief system down other peoples throats." which is why no one is trying to require the bible in school, or creation for that matter. They just want to DE-EMPASIZE evolution. Allow students to make that decision for themselves using the reasoning schools we DO teach them.
I'm not sure why I would want my kids to go to sunday school to hear the same fairy tales they're already forced to hear about about in school.
You must have awfully long legs to keep your feet on both sides of that fence.
I think if you actually listened to some of this debate in Kansas, you might be interested at some of the evidence the ID advocates present. You should at least listen before you cast it off as nonsense.
I quickly gave you a list of more than a handful. There's certainly more than that. They are scientists, their credentials are provided.
The catholic church has done no such thing. Perhaps someone within the catholic church has... much like someone within the catholic church molests little boys. It doesn't mean they endorse it.
no, which is why they aren't forcing teachers to hold classes in church or buy a copy of the bible. They are simply DE-EMPHASIZING evolution... Teaching people to decide for themselves.
My bad, I thought we were talking about citizens that had a religion... I didn't realize we were talking about a religion seizing the government.
I thought we were just making sure that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

no, you'd get 4 free issues... Unless your friends/family charge you for gifts.

Then, in the movies, how are we supposed to have the flight attendant run back and ask: "Does anyone know how to fly a plane?"
Additionally, they also cranked up the Pentium 4 6XX sequence line-up to include the new Pentium 4 670 at 3.8GHz.
...Additionally, Intel took their Pentium 4 6XX sequence processor, based on the Prescott 2M core, for a speed bump to 3.8Ghz."
"I would hope that if eveolution were flawed, my students would use the reasoning skills I taught them to discover that."
You wouldn't listen to them anyway.
I'm certianly glad that people researching medicine and technology don't see it that way. I personally do testing and research all the time.
Its been published many times. here's one proponent of the argument:h ance.asp

you can google probability+evolution for many many others.

If I'm so limited in my brain functions, why don't you just debate with me instead of sticking with all the swearing and childish namecalling?
D.E.E.M.P.H.A.S.I.Z.E. I can't spell it out to you any slower. No one is advocating equal time to teaching anything in schools.
Yeah, I know what you mean. No one likes that they keep teaching kids about Santa Claus in school, but we can't DE-Emphasize it since no one ever wants to discuss it.

oh yeah? my dad can beat up your dad too... if you would learn how to debate without being emotional, people might take you more seriously.
and my bible still says the earth is round, Isaiah 40:22
I would argue that its more like saying _+_=2 isn't math.
You admit yourself that evolution could be dead wrong, yet we still want to base all our scientific research on it?
Then ask what would be different in our research if base it on a creator?
My God was hammered to a tree... because of me. but death couldn't stop him.

I can make the exact same meaningless argument:
ID has evidence on its side. Evolution has handwaving, stale, recycled bulls*** on its side. Oh, and atheism.
Which am I supposed to believe?

oddly this was the picture.

You should have seen the last clown that got elected.
If you can explain to me how evolution = science, I will concede. Is it science because it is a widely held opinion?
ID is about denying that unanswered questions = answers.
"I don't want to pay to have Iraqi's killed. I don't want to pay for capital punishment."
Well, then talk to your senator about your rights. Or get people to fill those political roles that agree with you. The "fundies" do.
