Do creationists accept the evolution of plants?

Do you still think you don't like socialism AV1611VET? you don't like it you love it.

Americans have been told all their lives to hate socialism little realising that they couldn't survive without it.

Just tell me if you want another 31 examples, it would be no trouble.

You do know that NAZI is an acronym for socialism, do you not?

Hey, Juve, lemme ask you something.

How do I tell if something is alive or not? What test can I do? What do I need to check for?

First, define life.
Then check the object according to the definition.

Many biology people have defined it for me.
And I check the items against rock. I found rock is a life.

It's actually short for Nationalist Socialist.

And because the Nazi's were considered socialists doesn't mean socialists are necessarily Nazis. By your reasoning, anyone who is patriotic is also a Nazi.

Lol, one can just imagine your biology teacher rolling his eyes. No wonder you ended up working in an Indian call centre.

What on earth is "embedded age science"?

Even "creation science" is a contradiction in terms, IMO.

And for the record, if they did, I'll bet you guys would become one right quick, wouldn't you?

You know how it is, so many Christians like to call science a religion, so I thought I would give it a shot the opposite way, see what it feels like.

Yes in the same way that KLU KLUX KLAN is an acronym for the American Republican party.
FYI, it's KU KLUX KLAN.

I want you to be politically correct.
Life for you must be one big lie.
I think you have a problem with this country that needs to be taken to another sectiion of CF.

There is nothing wrong with the county that a good education system wouldn't cure, at the moment it seems be run for the benefit of all the village idiots.

I find that most people who yak about "education is the key to fixing [whatever]" don't work in the education field.

It's easy to just cram everyone into the academic system and expect the next generation to kick start some kind of revival, isn't it?

FYI, you're overlooking a very important economic principle: supply and demand.

England took advantage of this and trebled their tuition.

So please, by all means, keep harping on education, and you'll get an education that'll have you swarming the wrong car to voice dissent.

In fact, let's all just take you scientists' advice and mosey down to our local colleges' registration offices and sign up for college.

The six o'clock news should be hilarious.

A rock is inorganic, but that alone it doesn't qualify as life or living but we can go further. Life has properties like a metabolism in which it ingests energy to sustain itself, rocks can't do that. Life also reproduces, rocks can't do that. Life has RNA/DNA that is used for replication of cells and reproduction, rocks have neither. Keep going?

I'm not sure I can take this place, anymore. An argument over whether or not rocks are alive - that might be the straw that breaks my back.

No kidding.

You know, I mentioned to some people at work that there are still people who believe the earth is flat. You should have seen their looks of incredulity. Classic. Can't wait to tell them about this one.

Many people are actively consider the possible form of alien life in the universe. Are you sure the criteria used on the earth are absolutely necessary to qualify something called a life? Have you heard the idea of silicon-based life? If so, what does "organic" mean in that case?

If you understand rock, you will see that a rock does satisfy the criteria you mentioned by having parallel functions. For example, the cell of a rock is mineral, etc.

Killed the tree, you just admitted it was alive.

You are using a biased criterion again.

May be kill is a word with implication. So, how about "destroy"? I cut down a corn. I did not kill it. I destroy it. If I do "kill" it, police will come after me.
