Ok. Question: in the Bible Jesus speaks in parables; what general statement does Evolution make?

Please select the answer you find most agreeable:
1. What conclusion? A question is not a conclusion, it is the initiation of an investigation.
2. Through the application of logic, analysis, reflection, thesis construction, argument, linguistic assessment, etc.
3. Easily.
4. Take a degree level course in philosophy and rephrase your question.

5. None of the above.

Now you are just posting gibberish.

Justice/unjust has nothing to do with your statement about enforcing the laws.

It has everything to do with enforcing laws. Without just enforcement there is no "law".

•sigh•

”just”? The goalposts are moving.

just admit your error.

Just drilling down deeper. My whole argument rests on proper adjudication.

"Just admit your error". Great debate technique. However, no cigar.

By not being ignorant and being educated.

You do realize that our failures can be laid at the feet of "the educated". The ignorant are helpless against you , and worse, are the product of your failed education system.

Explain the grading system. How can a student who is capable of maxing a course wind up with a C grade, or worse?

Do you have a particular incident in mind? Can you relate it to your denunciation of "the educated" whoever you think they are?

It was a general observation, nothing in particular.

The 'educated' are a 'cloister' who live in an intellectual ivory tower. Nothing has divided the American people as has higher education. Not race, sexual orientation, politics, religion, or income.

In other words, a baseless stereotype.

There are three options.
  • Continue with the existing situation.
  • The educated could all jump off the tower: it's called dumbing down.
  • The uneducated could get educated and join us on the tower. It's a great view.
I recommend the third option. We can probably do something for those afraid of heights.

You want to try to make a point, do so. Dont beat about the bush.

I've spent the last 20 or more posts trying to make my point. If you don't get it by now you never will.

How about a fourth option: Make education practical (and less expensive). Less theory and more application. Kinda like an apprenticeship.

The bible has a great example, of a man 'proving' his team of oxen. He knew they were oxen, but he had to prove that they would work in his fields. Much of what is taught in school doesn't work in real life.

You mean that if you can't make your point by now, you never will.

My very solid points are defenseless against a relentless barrage of "yabuts". ;)
