I personally believe that we are created with the ability to evolve (at least socially), but I do not think it wise to hide what other theories are out there from kids.

I would rather have an educated evolutionist than a scared creationist. I say this because the educated evolutionist has at least made a decision based on knowledge he has versus the scared creationist believes like he does because he is told he has to... without checking into it himself... which kinda defeats the whole purpose of God's word.

socially evolve?

theories are part of science.

Fausto, they weren't pointing and laughing at your state. Keep looking West and you'll see the true object of their ridicule -- Mississippi 😛

Mississippi...famous for being last in everything good and first in everything bad. My apologies to Chaotic42...haha.

You know, he's got a point. Evolution has not so much to do with medicine nowadays, though doctors trained under a Creationist system are gonna have some wacked-out theories about why male humans have nipples. 😛

He'd probably have the same look on his face as your science teacher when you ask him where the atom for the Big Bang came from. 🙂

Well at least you aren't the only state in the Union backwards enough to not have a lottery.

God, we need to get rid of all these people forcing their morals and beliefs on others. anybody live on Greenland? Maybe we can ship these people there like England shipped their refuse to Australia back in the days.

Evolution isn't about the creation of the world. Evolution is adaptation of life. Do you believe in DNA? Then how do you not believe that evolution happens?

point being? scientists freely admit they don't know how the universe started... they're not ashamed of it because nobody else does either.

Okay. Why don't you jump in the ocean and adapt to breathing water for me?

And WTF does DNA have to do with evolution?

Why do some people think that evolution means there is no God?

You're kidding right? You need to culture a firmer grasp on this whole "evil-science" thing before you discount it so completely. 😛

You might want to take better notes in biology class.

I think they're mostly just pissed that they're so closely related to Chimps.

Because they've become so indoctrinated that the Bible is complete and utter truth and if it's not written in there, it must surely be the work of Satan.

If you think DNA proves evolution, YOU need to take better notes.

Functionally, DNA carries the information needed to construct and operate an organism.

maybe he's just playing around you guys... either that or i'm :Q

Um....there's this phenomenon in DNA.....it's called a "mutation". Occasionally plays a small role in evolution from what I understand.

Genetics is the mechanism by which evolution is theorized to occur. If you don't think DNA is relevant to genetics, then you don't understand the theory (or don't care to).

Your "go jump in the ocean and adapt" comment was likely meant to be flippant, but sure reads like a lack of understanding of the timeframes involved in divergent speciation.

If you're talking about an insane time period like millions of years for a species to evolve, you would have COUNTLESS examples of EVERY stage of their evolution. Science claiming to have found one or two is a joke.

So....the fossil record is just there at all to make us wonder, or are those critters just God's discarded "beta" projects prior to making Adam?

are those going to be banned words now?
