Why is evolution taught in our schools?

Ignorance is bliss, I take it?

Even I ask science questions.

No ignorance is not bliss, but as I deny the existance of god(s) Im not that interested in religious texts. They are all pretty much the same anyway. Do this —> eternal life, not credible IMO.

So you're satisfied with knowing Christian's antithesis (viz., science)?

That makes us two of a kind, doesn't it?

Except, as I said before, I'll ask science book questions; but you won't ask Bible questions.

And like me, you wear your ignorance like a badge, don't you?

Nope.

Science=physical reality.

Religion=faith in supernatural.

The two are not equal or in any way in opposition.

The supernatural superimposes on the physical.

Aim for earth, get earth; aim for Heaven, get both.

Nothing you've told me made any sense
And much of what you've told me is in the bible, isn't actually in the bible.

And in case you didn't notice, I'm not a bible believer either.

Too bad. That means that you cannot understand this perfect description either:

1Co 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

Yes, yes...
school teachers and university professors are all minions of the devil

:rolleyes:

What bothers me is that no one tells them of the more terrible fate evolutionists must face at the Judgment. Jesus tells us it would be better to be cast into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than offend a child's faith in Jesus.

Mar 9:42 ¶ And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in Me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. Mar 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Mar 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Be extremely careful what you say to little ones about evolutionism.

Evolution has no answer to the origins of life, has no transistional evidence, has no way to account for any species change, as nature itself cannot add the additional Dna required for that to happen, and most of all, the Bible declares God was the Creator!

yeah...I mean it's not like you have a average of 60 aditional DNA from your paren...oh wait you do.

I deny the existance of the supernatural.

Want to preach? There are forums for that but this is not one of them.

On scientific grounds?

No, I wasn't called to preach.

So it's okay to deny the supernatural, but accepting the supernatural is preaching?

What you post is preaching.

There are no facts or evidence supporting the existance of the supernatural.

What do you call this then:

1. Martyrs -- see Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
2. Churches and other edifices, including Christian schools.
3. Iconography & statuary, including symbols, drawings, and artwork.
4. The Bible and other books written about our LORD, including tracts.
5. Songs, hymns and carols venerating Jesus Christ.
6. Holidays such as Christmas and Easter.
7. Debates, programs, cartoons, and specials on TV.
8. Time divided into BC/AD.
9. Mottos such as IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE NATION UNDER GOD, and ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, and ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR.
10. Resistance by unbelievers who invest time and money to eradicate God from public view, including changing greetings such as MERRY CHRISTMAS to HAPPY HOLIDAYS and SEASONS GREETINGS.

I call it: cause and effect.

You are wrong. Its not data or evidence for anything more then the fact that people belive strange things.

Be careful now.

You don't want to come across as lecturing, do you?

Most advertisements come at least with small print.

Yours doesn't.

It doesnt say what I care about now does it?
No, it sure doesn't.

I suppose if you don't have any morals (nihilism), we don't either, do we?

I dont know about your moral code,
You would if you read the Bible.

Our moral code is in Writing for the whole world to see.

Atheists don't even want to see them on the courthouse lawn.
VirOptimus said:
... I do know my own thank you.
Well I just read up on nihilism, and it say you have none.
VirOptimus said:
I have already explained this to you.
Yes, you have.

But in your way of thinking, the journey is better than the destination, isn't it?
