That makes no sense whatsoever.
Because apparently certain people who believe in creation have a big problem with evolution.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
That also doesn't make any sense.
It's like the concept of design. Science says there is no purposeful design in nature. This doesn't make sense to me as I see design all over the place; like birds wings are designed not only to fly 'straight and level' but to do some pretty complicated aerial acrobatics as well.

Bioscience published the results of a survey of 1100 Americans, asking them 25 content knowledge questions about evolution. Not surprisingly, people with more knowledge about evolution (answering questions accurately) were more likely to accept evolution.
The study also asked about religious intensity and political affiliation. The same positive correlation between knowledge and acceptance existed, but the curves follow different trajectories based on these other criteria.
Summary of results available from SciAm.
Also covered in Science Daily.
"We find the traditional relationship between your religious beliefs and evolution, and between your political beliefs and evolution, but we also find that those are not the only factors that matter," said Deena Weisberg, a senior fellow in Penn's psychology department in the School of Arts and Sciences. "They do matter, but if you know more about evolutionary theory, if you understand it better, you're more likely to accept it."
No, I just prefer it to ignorance.
The other is that the recognition of 'design' in naturally occurring phenomena could be a form of Apophenia - Wikipedia .
You do not have choice. You have to worship knowledge.
Too many anti-theory of evolution people dont even know what they are against.
We have seen this right here in this forum.
The same could be said of evolution.
Science cannot 'educate' me.
I want our lakes to be cleaned up. Those in charge of the lakes, which include the city, county, university, DNR, and dozens of civic groups lending a hand, put out annual reports and plans for doing this. Still the lakes are a mess despite all the knowledge and science proffered by these agencies and groups. What they seem to be doing is educating the public as to why the lakes are a foul mess so that we come to accept this condition.
However, I remain uneducated. I still want clean lakes.
