i hear screams of "ID isn't science, these theories must be test and proven to be science". evolution is as tested and proven as ID is. we don't have evidence, look around you, we don't see animals or plants in the middle of a species transformation, (evolving from one species to another). there is ADAPTATION, but not evolution.
we don't have *proof* that everything alive today evolved form simple organisms into the vast, complex organisms we have today.
so, when it comes down to it, evolution is as scientific fact as ID. they are both a belief in something that we can never prove, because we weren't there. faith has been called "believing in the unseen", so if you use that definition, you would consider both evolution and ID as "faith" based theories, so why would it be ok to teach one in the classroom and not the other?
i'm not asking anyone to vote a certain way, or lobby against a certain group for a certain cause. i stated my opinion, that's not pushing an agenda. lobbying people to vote a certain way, that's an agenda.
we can play what-ifs all day, but if there is anything that could have been done before 31+ people got killed, i would be for it, instead of playing devils advocate all day....
yes, we do. if he would have been in a public place, a citizen that was bearing arms could have shot him after he killed only a couple of people, not 31+.
the problem isn't having arms available to the public. and it's not video games. if you will do a bit of research, the "shooting spree" phenom has been going on a long time, much longer before video games came along. the second largest killing spree at a campus was in 1966 at the U. of Texas campus. the rate hasn't increased, just the publicity in the past 15-20 years.
this is a very sad situation, nothing to joke about or to try and push your own agenda with, it is disrespectful to the people involved....
