    "When scientists talk about a theory, they mean something far different from the everyday understanding of a guess or a supposition. "'Theory' means a logical, tested, well-supported explanation for a great variety of facts," the National Center for Science Education says. The "theory" of evolution is like the "theory" of gravity -- it is as close to a fundamental truth as anything can be."http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7013405/page/3/

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

  21. Re:I'm a born-again evangelical christian on Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret · · Score: 1

    My point was to point out that the Bible makes claims which have no basis in fact or science or common sense. The only reason anyone believes them is because they are in the Bible. Parts are so obviously wrong but people still cling to them as the truth. Like a kid who wont stop believing in Santa Clause.

  22. Re:I'm a born-again evangelical christian on Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret · · Score: 1

    Here we go again... Science has to be run by "The Bible" before it can be judged correct or not. Ridiculous. A quote from a recent article On msnbc.com http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7013405/ summed it up exceptionally well.

    "When scientists talk about a theory, they mean something far different from the everyday understanding of a guess or a supposition. "'Theory' means a logical, tested, well-supported explanation for a great variety of facts," the National Center for Science Education says. The "theory" of evolution is like the "theory" of gravity -- it is as close to a fundamental truth as anything can be."

    I was trying to think up a parallel for the Bible vs Science for my kid. I came up with: Take a rock, a scientist can look at it with his eye and a microscope, dissect it and tell us it's chemical make up. With out a question he has a rock. But wait, check with the Bible first! No.. sorry.. The Bible says you have a chicken! Doesn't matter what it looks like the Bible says its a chicken, end of discussion!

    This kind of "Logic" drives me nuts and for the life of me I'll never understand how people can believe it without question. How do you think they got Polar bears and Koala's onto the Ark??? (just to name a couple)
