"By forcing students to learn evolution in an intellectual vacuum, they are unprepared to explain why creationism is nonsense when they are challenged by their parents and friends."
because creationism is an idea born of religion and is nothing to do with being intellectual. should midwives, medical professionals be taught about stork theory or is that "intellectual vacuum" fine?
that is not evidence. if it was intelligent design then my eyes and hearing wouldn't be deficient, i wouldn't breath and swallow food down the same pipe which can cause death by choking (i think only humans have this issue), babies wouldn't be born with defects etc etc.
it is shit design because good designers make reproducible to the same standard/quality.
you need to work out exactly what the meaning of evidence is. religion is superstition and thats why its been around for a long time, they didn't know what things were or how they worked in pre-science times
i'd still put my hat with the overall consensus of the majority of scientists that prove that its happening. Their protestations about the hole in the ozone layer worked so CFC's were got rid of and the ozone is now happier and protecting us better. its up to the deniers (seem to be mainly fossil fuel proponents) to prove their case has any merit at all.
"At the moment - that number will drop dramatically if the Commons can get their House of Lords reform through to law, after which the majority of the Lords will be elected."
the sooner the better, we don;t need that many lords in the second house
"Only for 26 out of 781 seats - not enough to weild any real power."
26 too many
"the Lords has been a somewhat effective guard against the Commons trying to push through some of the more controversial laws."
that should be their only purpose, refine, refine and refine.
have you added inflation to current prices as well? I'm not saying $10000 is nothing but unless you compare the prices properly, you get an artificial difference.
"American CEOs usually make more money by wrecking the company for short-term gain rather than steering it towards long-term success"
its not just American CEOs, they are in every country. CEOs should only get the average pay rise of the rest of the workers in the company. The only exception would be private companies.
yes, but shareholders are generally the problem because they are usually "friends" of the directors i.e. of the same mind. They give pay rises to directors even when the public company is failing.
If a private company is owned by the person who risked his own money then they should be exempt from this kind of rule but public companies should be subject to a rule like this.
you didn't take into account servicing, oil changes, replacement of various moving parts that wear out like clutches, oil filters, exhausts, catalytic converters etc in gas cars
most sensible people will have a plan where all the hydrogen fuel stations would be on their route, a bit like making sure you have a gas station on your long journey. so it would be the same for a gas fueled vehicle. there could be a market for a mobile hydrogen station (if it can meet safety concerns) until all fuel stations include a hydrogen pump

yes but most of our food is grown outside whether it be meat or vegetables
its only a small clip from the Colbert show mocking the politicians
yes they do. you're just too scared to climb off the fence "just in case" god exists and he/she confines you to hell
unfortunately that is too difficult for creationists to understand and comprehend
stop being a total wanker troll

not humanities class, should be a mythology class. calling it humanities almost gives it a bit of credibility.
so bollox you mean.

oh bollox. do some research into evolving bacteria, controlled evolution of the fruit fly etc etc

well.. you do have to dumb it down to the creationist level as they won't (and still don't) understand what evidence is and its purpose.
"To be fair, science is effectively a belief system...," oh bollox
if they were the first people on earth, who married them? The snake? And what did they use for a bible?

no, but it also doesn;t mean the CEOs own the company either, they are just employees

shareholders are part of the problem, they are of the same mindset. The shareholders very rarely do the job they are supposed to.

that will change when manufacturing goes green
