    Science and Christianity

    Oh, I almost forget to mention that my original post wasn't directed only at the failings of the catholic church, which have been numerous, but at religion, in general. Most religions have done quite a bit to discourage different or dissenting views, especially in the realm of science and...

    Science and Christianity

    nyj, I'm a big enough man to admit where I am wrong, and clearly, in this case, I am wrong. The church has, to some extent, encouraged astronomy, especially when it was in thier best interests to do so. That much is clear. "He said that Scripture is intended to teach us ‘how to go to...

    Science and Christianity

    No, of course not. People are free to believe what they want, and I'm glad I'm not king of America. Nobody should ever be king of America. Besides, religion proves itself pointless and irrational. It will be gone eventually.

    Science and Christianity

    Yes, please do go on, I would love to hear about all the great contributions the church has made to scientific discovery. These people were working seperately from their roles as priests. First of all, you are right, Mendel was a priest, but Mendel's work didn't contradict any church...

    Science and Christianity

    Well, thank you both for your well reasoned, thought out rebuttal to my post, that is always appreciated. The church, in many forms, has almost always opposed any scientific thought that could threaten it's hold on power. In Europe, it was the Catholic church when people like Galileo and...

    Science and Christianity

    You are right, this is sad. It's sad what religion will do when it has power. This just further illustrates that the debate of evolution vs. creation (science vs. religion) is already won, and the fundies desperately clinging to thier book need to realize that the world will move on whether...

    Evolutionism is not science but fool hypothesis

    Orange, I typed up a nice reply and got nothing back, I'm so dissapointed! Well, I guess it just goes to show you that when you start trying to put facts into debates about evolution, creationists have a hard time responding... What happen? I read post. Main post turn stupid...

    Evolutionism is not science but fool hypothesis

    It's always a pleasure to read your posts, orange. I hope that English is not your first language. However, since I barely know a second language, my hat's off to you if you know a 2nd, it's hard to do. Anyway, on to your post. How do you figure? What is not science? Evolution is a...

    Dinosaurs after the flood

    True_Blue: The first real dinosaur bone was discovered in 1676 by Robert Plot, a museum curator, who thought it belonged to a giant man. Not sure when they made it into the history books. It wasn't until 1840 or so that they got the name "dinosaurs." Nice Supt's pin, btw. Back in the day...

    Children Getting Too Personal

    Hi, I'm kinda new, so hellos all around. I think one of the worst things that can be done to a child is home-schooling. The reason is not necessarily the educational experience, but the lack of social interaction and the sheltering. High school is a time when young adults should be...

    N. Korea? On the Bush 2004-08 Agenda?

    Nick_Loves_Abba, Hi, I'm new here, but I always enjoy talking about North Korea. In the military, we keep a very strict eye on The Chonger and his shenanigans in North Korea. China would always be a concern when it comes to war on the Korean penninsula, but the problem is, North Korea has...
