[SirJosephPorter]

Te film has found a distributor in USA, Newmarket.

Newmarket picks up Jon Amiel's 'Creation'

Charles Darwin to SCIENCE is like Snoop Dog is to OPERA.

What part do we flatten first?

I bet we can find some *ahem* people to practice on....;-)

A fraud then, a fraud now.

What the Hell is the difference?

WHich church are you referring to?

 

[YukonJack]

"WHich church are you referring to?"

The "Church of Darwin Worshipping Clods".

Like there is any intelligence involved in the belief in the magical appearance of the universe because of the whim of some imaginary being.

I got a map that is pretty flat. Perhaps they have something? I think the flat earth people lived on the prairies where if you look around it is obvious the world is flat.

Before any life form can evolve from any other life form, (according to your god, Darwin) should you not be able to show how life began in the first place?

If and when you do that, you can procede with evolution.

Does it matter, taxslave? Whether it is the Catholic Church or the one started by Al Bundy (on married With Children) they are all the same, interested in one thing only, money.

Did you go to Church today or just sat here using the sciences' wonderous creation to post your bitterness?

When that happens man will be god. Then what?

Could man use YJ for reverse engineering?

Youkon Jack,

I don't see why Christians should be so fearful of the theory of evolution. Would it not be possible for Christians to simply accept the Bible as teaching spiritual truths and in no way intended as a science textbook or thesis?

If looked at that way, then it would be possible for Christians to accept that God did create earth and man, and accept that there may be symbolic allusions in the Bibble they're not sure the meaning of but that might be worth exploring. This would allow them to accept the Bible and science without one conflicting with the other, the one teaching spiritual truths, the other scientific truths.

The only people it really ought to threaten are those who insist that the Bible was meant litererally, word for word, and that God was incapable of using literary devices.

That's one of the sillier red herring arguments I've seen on this subject. Would you also argue that Newton should first have figured out how the universe began before proceeding with his theory of gravitation? That not how science works. The origin of life and how it's developed over time are very different questions, there's no reason why we should have to figure out the former before proceeding with the latter. Given the obvious fact that life exists, evolution provides a very parsimonious and elegant explanation for its great variety and complexity. It says nothing at all about life's origins, and doesn't need to, that's not what it's about. Your scorn is utterly misplaced, and reveals nothing but your own misunderstanding.

Machjo, I think flat earth people should borrow a page from the Creationists and demand equal time in public schools.

I remember in high school we were taught that earth is round and given evidence for it. Not a word about the opposing scientific theory, that earth is flat. That is an outrage. In the name of science (just as creationists demand that Book of Genesis be taught along with evolution), they should give equal time to flat earth theory.

And flat earthers have a better claim for a hearing that Creationists do. Flat earth is a scientific theory,

It sure is, but it's a disproven one. Anyone with a telescope, a pencil, and paper can demonstrate its fallibility.

which Creationism (or intelligent Design) is not.

Yep. Those are hypotheses (at best. At worst they are nonsensical guesses) and not verifiable in any way.

Why?
Evolution is a provable phenomenon, Creationism and ID aren't.

If and when you do that, you can procede with evolution.

Sorry but evolution happens without your permission.

I think we'll find out soon enough. Meteorites and other such flying objects contain what life is made of. It's a matter of a short period of time before science puts enough pieces together to demonstrate how life can and has begun..
