    Trump nominated a second time for Nobel Peace prize

    Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin were also nominated. Stalin was nominated twice. A nomination means nothing, anyone can get someone to do it.

    Is it right to force the theory of evolution down highschooler's throats?

    The science classroom is an inappropriate place to talk about religious beliefs. The teacher is not giving instruction in his beliefs. He is teaching the class science..the body of knowledge that the scientific community has established through the scientific method. Hence the name "science...

    Then you are guilty of committing the thing you fault others for: assuming. You assumed I somehow knew you recognized your error without your having said so, even after the error was pointed out to you over and over. All you had to do was review your previous posts to see you had not, or...

    If the last one didn't make you cry, this will.

    We don't *believe* we are animals, we know it. It's an observable, empirical fact of the natural world. That your ego cannot endure the concept, that you must, in order to feel special and immortal, reject your own biological reality is your problem.

    You are assuming those people want to make the effort and time it would take to read and understand a real source. They want easy to digest little nuggets that sound catchy and dont' require thought.

    Thanks for finally admitting you made a mistake. I appreciate it, really I do. I would just like to point out that several people asked you about it and you had an opportunity to say "Oh gosh, I MEANT to say biology but I said science by mistake" about 35 posts ago. For someone who likes to make...

    razzel, I'm going to try to help you understand with a parable. Surely as a teacher you use them as a possible teaching tool. There is a family called the Smiths. In the Smith family are 5 member: John, Mary, Sonny, Sally and Victor. John, Mary, Sonny Sally and Victor are all Smiths. All...

    Wait a minute. You defined "origins" as being explanations for how life STARTED. You also agreed that evolution/ToE are defined as follows: Evolution: Change in gene frequency and alleles over time Theory of Evolution: The how and implications of evolution. For example, evolution occurs...

    Geez Louise, why are you being so obtuse? Why are (using your defintion) EXPLANATIONS OF HOW LIFE BEGAN so important that we (whoever "we" refers to) feel compelled to teach it in school? That is your question. The reason no one can answer it to your satisfaction is because the term...

    This is your very first post, the OP, Post #1 I'm just wondering, since you are now using the word "origins" all the time and apparently find it to be the best term and a very important one, why was it not on your list ?

    No.That is not what I'm saying. You said : and I replied: To which you responded "Oh so now you are saying origins makes no difference." My question was --look at it it's right above!--- who are you referring to when you question why "origins" is so important? You must think that...

    Thank you for attempting to clarify. Who do you think is of the opinion that origins (not evolution or creationism) is important? And it has been answered. No one is getting distraught about origins, because origins (as in not toc or toe) isn't being taught at all. Note that biology and...

    I have a couple of clarification questions. So origins can be scientific explanations,or non-scientific explanation or myths from any culture, is that what you mean? Origins just means some sort of explanation of how life came to be? So is it your understanding that schools in...

    How does understanding the position of creationists help people or keep them from perishing in sin and ignorance????
