Why is evolution taught in our schools?

[AV1611VET]

So you are saying that there several giveaways in Genesis that tell us not to take the story literally. Hmm, for once we may agree.

Show me a talking snake.

Show me a talking snake.

Exactly.

Atomic Theory, Germ Theory and the Theory of Gravitation are all repeatable in a laboratory.

Try repeating evolution.

you can, the experiments and tests done to prove evolution can be done many times, and have been done every time we gain new information, , we have better evidence and understanding of evolution then we do theory of gravitiy.

 

[loveofourlord]

It was nonsense. I'm ashamed to admit that I believed it at one point. But yeah a lot of what I was taught has been disproven by science. Except for things like Germ Theory which has been proven by science.

oh? What kind of things you were taught have been disproven? I question the kind of education you got when just about everything you've said wasn't what the scientists were saying back then. We are still apes and monkeys and evolved from a ancestor that would be called that, thats the way it's been for half a century or more now. Nothings changed, so I question your claims or your education.

 

[tas8831]

do you agree that a robot that is identical to a penguin is evidence for design?

What is the level of identity?

Do you mean part by part? Cell by cell? Molecule by molecule?

How would this 'identical'-ness be measured or catalogued?



You keep asking these absurd hypotheticals as if they have meaning, but really you do it to avoid having to admit that you have no evidence at all for your fringe beliefs.

 

[tas8831]

Humnans are made in the very Image of God, and NO other creature can claim that truth!

No other creature so happily employs the fallacy of begging the question quote as readily as creationists do.

 

[tas8831]

Evolution is taught in schools because they threw more money at the political system than did creationists who thought it best to remain separated..... now we reap the fruits of their labor (or lack thereof) - your children being taught a false religion....

Right..

Nothing to do with the 1st amendment or the fact that there is no evidence supportive of the creation tales. Nothing like that... OK...

 

[tas8831]

Science applied to the past is errant.

False claim made in desperation.

Sad.

 

[tas8831]

His resurrection is one of the most varified factual events in world history!

Then surely you can provide extra-biblical corroboration for this from contemporaneous authorities, e.g., Scribes or similar folks from nearby lands that would have experienced, for example, the claimed effects of Jesus' crucifixion?

 

[YeshuaFan]

No it's not.

Strange that you would say that, as there are many, such as a Simon Greelee, who looked at all of the evidence and concluded that it was one of the most attested to events in history!

 

[YeshuaFan]

When a person makes unsupported claims there is no need to prove him wrong. By default he is wrong.

We really need to go over the basics of not only science but logical as well. You keep showing that you cannot support your claims with science.

When you are ready to learn I am here to help you.

God created all things.....

 

[Subduction Zone]

God created all things.....

The Great Juju created all things. Aren't empty claims fun?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Strange that you would say that, as there are many, such as a Simon Greelee, who looked at all of the evidence and concluded that it was one of the most attested to events in history!

And Howard Johnson claimed that it wasn't. Let's keep up the empty claims game.

 

[YeshuaFan]

Right..

Nothing to do with the 1st amendment or the fact that there is no evidence supportive of the creation tales. Nothing like that... OK...

Please just tell me how the Universe started, and how life originated apart from God then!

Jesus claimed to be God manifested here among us, was he?

 

[YeshuaFan]

Then surely you can provide extra-biblical corroboration for this from contemporaneous authorities, e.g., Scribes or similar folks from nearby lands that would have experienced, for example, the claimed effects of Jesus' crucifixion?

You mean like the Roman historian who recorded His life and death, and that His followers saw Him as now being alive again?

 

[Tinker Grey]

Strange that you would say that, as there are many, such as a Simon Greelee, who looked at all of the evidence and concluded that it was one of the most attested to events in history!

Who? He was wrong.

 

[Tinker Grey]

Jesus claimed to be God manifested here among us, was he?

No

 

[Subduction Zone]

Please just tell me how the Universe started, and how life originated apart from God then!

Why? That has nothing to do with evolution.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Jesus claimed to be God manifested here among us, was he?

That is what is written in the Gospels, but the Gospels were written by non-witnesses over a generation after Jesus died. Not very reliable when it comes to evidentiary claims.

Think of it this way. If you read that some followers of a person claimed, more than 30 years after his death, that he had come back from the dead and there were no contemporaneous accounts of him existing at all would you believe them?

Let's try to keep focused on the science. No one is trying to refute the story of Christianity here but it seems that you want to do so.
