I don't need a history less. What happened says it all.
What's that say for those who boarded it though?
Would YOU have voluntarily gotten on it?
I have a feeling you would have if you could have.
No scientists were involved. It was strictly an engineering endeavor.No scientist tried to stop the liftoff?
Perhaps they were instrumental in overriding* Mr McDonald's pleas to stop the launch?
* No pun intended.
What? It's beginnng to sound like you despise anyone at all who has more than a 6th grade education.Since academia wants to jettison engineers from their ranks, I'll do the same.
Fair enough.No scientists were involved. It was strictly an engineering endeavor.

It's an attack on education at any level.What? It's beginnng to sound like you despise anyone at all who has more than a 6th grade education.

sentiment is a component of a broad - spectrum
anti intellectualism. Its impossible to be well informed,
"anti- evolution" and intellectually honest.
Why anyone takes pride in being a wombat- brain,
I dont know.
Again... You have a VERY weird grasp on history and historical politics.
Never thought about Oz beingWombat bashing is uncalled for; they are smart, lovable and cute.
They keep paleontologists in work as their ancestors present a mystery.

THIS.I blame Christians as much as anyone for the misunderstanding of Darwin and the theory of evolution. Atheists have not turned Darwinism into a religion; Christians have by making it antithetical to faith. It's just one more example of Christians shooting themselves in the foot and then trying to blame anyone else.
At the risk of again being accused of quote mining, here's one that I think is worth considering:
"Looking back through the prodigious vista of the past, I find no record of the commencement of life and therefore I am devoid of any means of forming a definite conclusion as to the conditions of its appearance. Belief, in the scientific sense of the word, is a serious matter, and needs strong foundations. To say, therefore, in the admitted absence of evidence, that I have any belief as to the mode in which the existing forms of life have originated, would be using words in a wrong sense... I beg you once more to recollect that I have no right to call my opinion anything but an act of philosophical faith." {Charles Darwin, Discourses Biological and Geographical, pgs. 257, 258}
I don't know if it's true, but I once heard that the only degree Darwin possessed was in theology.
Why does it matter if Darwin was a Christian or not? His scientific contribution isn't dependent on the answer to that question (and neither are any of the ideas mentioned in the OP.) Was it necessary to dredge up 3-year-old thread to tack on some idle theological speculation?Charles Darwin was sort of in line with Christian thinking early on. Was he Christian? This is too open to debate. But it is certain in history that he gave up on Christian faith later and from then on, after personal tragedy, this suggests to me personally that he was not ever really serious about being Christian, and did not pass any test to him. His writing pertaining to evolution then was without Christianity in his thinking, and would not leave possibility of God's work in this world. Christians who are Christian indeed cannot exclude God's work in this world. Some think God is too distant to be involved, but this is not Christian thinking. God would do what is needed to have the perfect design, Christians should know this. It is a problem then to see how the thinking that would exclude God can be consistent with this Christian view.
Yes, it is of importance. Probably not to you personally, but to me and to others it would be. This is Christian Forums where there are Christians communicating and atheists come, as they may, of course, and they go to a few forums on the site to argue their positions to exclude God and most Christians do not stay at those forums where there is such argument, and atheists remain to argue together that their positions are right, without inclusion of God. Bringing this up again is not against any law, and I would do such not caring who it offends, because I can discuss God being neglected where I see it in discussion in any forum on this Christian Forums site. And Darwin himself was making errors. With not giving place to God he made conclusions that were just plain wrong, that selection happening naturally would explain new species, and new genera, and with more time new families, and new orders, and so on, from at least certain of any gene pools. He was quite mistaken. So neo-darwinism came in place of that, with mutations happening enough to provide for an explained evolution. But is that getting closer to truth? You can't know not knowing if God is involved or not. Explanation for what we all have now does not justly exclude God. God's purpose for us as our very Maker is something right for us, that is not invasive. Of course we should want things that are right for us.
