OK. And you ARE aware of the Edwards v. aguillard decision, right?heatherwayno said:I did not say that creationism is science- it is faith
I'm sure I did, I'm not a native english typer/speaker. But then again, I was not the one criticizing your english typing abilitiesheatherwayno said:BTW- Tom you have spelled some words wrong. Just want to fit in with everyone else here
Then why say it is a theory like evolution is a theory. As you notice above yourself, it is not.heatherwayno said:I did not say that creationism is science- it is faith
heatherwayno said:Creationism in in some science books- it is listed as a theory. We never tell students in our school that evolution is not true- but it is not the only theory as to the origin of hte human species- so it should not be the only one taught.
It's alright, I wasn't offended.heatherwayno said:sorry Tom- I thought it was you who was criticizing me. Forgive me please

What do you mean with "opposed to facts"?heatherwayno said:yes- I am aware of what theory means. I know that if something is a theory that it does not mean it is not supported by facts.
If an apple falls to the ground- it is becuase of gravity. The theory behind this the theory of gravitation.
I know that in science- theories are not just ideas- what I mean is that they are not opposed to facts.
heatherwayno said:Earlier in this thread I asked if you guys thought (by the way please don't tell me that it is not proper grammar to say you guys- i know that), that humans would ever evolve into another species. Someone said that they believed they would or either become exctinct. If humans became exctinct- what would happen to the world? There would be no intellegent life left? I know you don't have the answers to this- the possibilities are endless but it would make a really good book or movie!
