Texas Board Passes Social Studies Curriculum

No, I didn't say that. As you highlighted, "Just because the source of Creationism is the Bible doesn't mean it isn't supported by science." Where did I say it reconciled evolution? No where.

Science supports Creationism. That has nothing to do with reconciling evolution to creation. In fact, it shows the errors of evolution.

No more of the semantics game and the backpedaling. Science supports means that the theories can be reconciled.

Enlighten us, please. How does science support creationism? What theoretical points accomplish that? Which branch of science, exactly? And Christian Science doesn't count.

The "other people" did say it first.

I finished my public school education when I graduated from high school in 1969.

My daughter attended public schools, Christian school, and home school; she graduated from high school in 1991.

My grandsons have attended public schools, Christian schools, and home school.

There are more options than public schools and Catholic schools.

yep. everybody's all happy then.

so how did everything start?

Al Gore invented the universe.

 

[Secretblend]

Al Gore invented the universe.

 

[jillio]

Al Gore invented the universe.

The internet would certainly seem to be at least one person's universe!:P

 

[kokonut]

Can't just say "I don't know"...?

 

[Jiro]

Al Gore invented the universe.

Al Gore invented internet. Al Gore invented the global warming. and Al Gore thanked kokonut for his vote.

I do have a problem with the ID theory, but I can't discuss on this forum why.

As far as how the universe started...

It's open to interpretation.

 

[Reba]

Most people can hear the implied "according to the theory" in there. Especially since the theory is the topic.:roll:

Then why do test questions state evolution answers as facts? Christian students in public schools who answer the questions truthfully are marked "wrong" because the questions are worded as though evolution is fact, not theory. They are not all prefaced by "According to the theory of evolution . . . "

Maybe we should hire ASL interpreters.

I nominate this as Post of the Month!

 

[somedeafdudefromPNW]

ASL is certainly is abstract.

No. That wasn't the question. The question is, how did everything start?

 

[Jiro]

Can't just say "I don't know"...?

so you don't know?

 

[somedeafdudefromPNW]

Do you know how it started?

Do you know what come before the supposed big bang?

 

[Reba]

hence a theory. As I said before - as the science progresses, the theory gets more refined. Spontaneous just simply happened. Once it happened - it continued to evolve.

In creation model - there is no theory. only an absolute truth. no question asked. I don't believe in that.

Do you believe there is absolute truth in anything scientific? Why is it called "the law of gravity" and not "the theory of gravity?" Doesn't physics have "laws"? So, there are truths in science; it isn't all theories.

Where did the "spontaneous" come from?

 

[Reba]

That is where the particle physics knowledge becomes helpful.

This isn't a religious discussion at all.

Explanation of Creation would be considered a religious discussion, so that means only one side of the debate can be given.

 

[Reba]

Not in the least. Why the fear that the thread will be closed?

It's not fear, it's fact. Every time a discussion touches on religion the thread gets locked. Do you deny that?

 

[Foxrac]

It's not fear, it's fact. Every time a discussion touches on religion the thread gets locked. Do you deny that?

Yup, usually evolution vs. creationism thread got locked up.

 

[saywhatkid]

It's not fear, it's fact. Every time a discussion touches on religion the thread gets locked. Do you deny that?

This is very true. I would be tipping my hand away from the Liberal pool if I made my feelings known on Creation vs evolution. Suffice it to say, where in the heck did that first bacteria come from?

Oops, look at the time...
