I hope that the biologists that still believe that it is not happiness have retired, as they are certainly not upto date. How do we know: We can take a look at the chemicals and brain activity in human beings when they are happy, use large enough sample sizes to be sure. We can then take a look...

Latest results of a study this added to the fact it, follows a trend that has been happening in Austria for a while now. Study 2010 44% of Austrian citizens responded "they believe there is a God" 38% answered "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force". 12% answered "they do not...

This is simply an out and out lie, science when it was first practiced was done so by very religious people, with the goal of understanding God’s world and getting closer to him. What occurred in the centuries afterwards is the constant failure to do that, until the point that we are at now...

I find it strange that you somehow think that acknowledging evolution would not completely change your world view. Even if you are a theist, you it completely changes the type of theist you are, you cannot hold the OT as the actual words of God, and if you are willing to dismiss a literal OT...

If you look at the statistics from Schools who are hostile to Evolution and look at the results - results meaning children at University in certain fields. Here in the UK the statistics suggest that outcomes for children are even worse than just missing out on certain subjects, those children...

No you are incorrect - I am insulted that someone thinks that, millions of hours of research, countless peer reviews, thousands of confirmed tests and repeat testing, across a 100 years+, all to produce a massive body of work that eventually became a theory and someone can come along as suggest...

You are aware that in the English language that words sometimes have multiple uses and meanings? There is a specific scientific definition of theory that is not the same as the above - look up Definition of Scientific Theory.

And they are much more likely to fail (or more to the point) not get into College biology if they lack a scientific understanding. The was an Islamic private school here in the UK, that illegally put Intelligent design in science classes. Once found the report on the state of those students...

You obviously don't know what the word Theory means in science. The word theory in Science represents the highest level of acceptance there is no higher position in Science. It partly represents the fact that the search for knowledge never stops, and the fact there is always more to learn...

Are you trying to tell me that I cannot decide what I find insulting?

You are actively harming Children by allowing the teaching of this, your likelihood of getting into things like medical school or becoming a biologist without an understanding of evolution is vastly reduced.

What was ridiculous about my argument - be specific in scientific terms why is Intelligent design or young earth more likely than FSMism theories or scientology? If it is ridiculous then this should be an easy task. The use of Reductio ad absurdum in a logical debate was used by Socrates, if...

That's fair, I forgot about the DSS. Currently a big debate between theists about if they should retranslate the OT or have two different versions.

Careful when stating that - translators often put their own spin on their translations, a Christian translator of the OT will often translate the book to match is denominations version of the biblical thinking. My family own a set of bibles that are 150 years + old, their exists differences...

The Nazi party where very selective when using scientific facts, part of Darwinian thinking was banned, I posted a link to the book ban list which includes Darwinian thinking and any criticism of Christianity. You could be shot in Nazi German for writing a book stating humans evolved from...

Just a question for those who think that This should be brought into a science class room, if science was to lower its standards to where Young earth and intelligent design is not laughed about, 1) Do you think Scientology should be included? Given the FACT scientology meets the same burden of...

Clumsy use of language (by me) but by atheist country I mean a country with the majority (50% +) of its population does not believe in a personal God. For instance Norway, you can find statistics suggesting that a lot are Christian - as they are culturally Christian but when asked only 25% of...

Science does not trust science, I'll give you a commonly used example: When testing a new drug on humans, everyone involved in the process has no idea which drug they are giving people is actually the drug or the fake. This is locked away, encrypted and kept somewhere else. Scientists are...

This always makes me laugh; Captain of a ship: "First mate Bob, have you weight down the anchor?" Bob: "Yes sir, all secure" Captain: "I can't see it" Bob: "That's because it is a ghost anchor, sir, but don't worry we have full faith that it will work" Captain; "Jolly good we can all sleep safe...

I see not issue with teaching Children about young earth creation in religious studies or bible studies but not in science. This is something Christians should be very careful about, young earth and anti-evolution is much more common place within Islamic school across the world - as a result...
