You have demonstrated, time and time again, that you lack the basic grounding in the evidence that would entitle you to have an opinion on the matter. Therefore, if you continue to make your fatuous, unsupported comments, I shall continue to note their failure.

Your mounted a cynical pretence to be genuinely interested in an exchange of views and an acquisition of the knowledge you currently lack. That ship sailed some time ago. All your posts do now is reveal that your faith is weak and your knowledge of evolutionary theory even weaker. Quit while you are merely behind.
Your next move, accusations of ignorance, is also right out of your well-worn play book. Beyond that, I can't find a thing you've contributed that I've been able to learn from.

Seeing as how there's multiple threads on here about folks believing the earth is flat, that were not made in jest, mind you, it's pretty dang clear that schools need to do a better job with science education. Not to mention all the ignorance about climate change & the deadly anti-vaxxer crap. Teaching evolution is definitely necessary.

What, specifically, do you think could be taught regarding ID in schools that is not religious in nature?

Teaching the lie that Humans (descendants of Adam) evolved from the common ancestor of Apes. Tell us the process and don't claim that natural selection is the answer OR tell us where the first life came from. The belief that evolution is the answer is totally false.

Starting an innocent child off by teaching them that they are nothing but evolved Apes. is the beginning of dehumanizing God's children. Only evolutionists and Trumpers call our children, animals.

Yes - creation. For it is contradicted by the actual evidence.

No. The ancient traditional view is the problem with unbelievers. They are weighing today's scientific and historic facts against the religious views of men who live thousands of years ago. That's WHY I post here. To show that what is actually written in Genesis AGREES in every way with every discovery of mankind. This agreement is the "increased knowledge" of those who live in the last days before Jesus returns. Daniel 12:4

You know, the followers of loud mouth Trump who calls Humans, animals. He speaks with forked tongue.

Well, that's what I thought you meant but it took me by surprise on account of how many of the folks who are Trump apologists also believe in young earth creationism & share your views on evolution. I've also noticed an overlap between support for Trump, belief the earth is 5000 years old & flat, climate change denial & anti-vaxxer / anti-mainstream medicine around here.

Wow, getting history wrong also. You never heard of the Scopes Trial?

It was some hundred years too early before the "increased knowledge" of the last days showed Christians that Genesis IS God's Truth scientifically and historically Daniel 12:4 no matter what God haters teach. It's testable proof of the literal God.

I'm the youngest of the young earthers since I show that God makes everything in only 6 Days/Ages and we STILL live at Genesis 1:27 because God is STILL creating Adam/mankind in His Image or Spiritually and Eternally in Christ, on the present 6th Creative Day. Genesis 1:28-31 is FUTURE prophecy.

That's religion which always seeks money and will suffer a great falling away in the end times. 2Th 2:3

I've spent the last 20 years trying to get just one evolutionist to tell me how and when prehistoric people changed into humans. It's been amazing since no University professor, PhD, now any other supposed "educated" believer in magical evolution, has ever been able to explain. Can you?

Since sex is the only way to change humans inside, tell us how magical evolution did it another way, only in humans and can never be repeated. The only way to do it is to have faith in something which you cannot explain. Evolutionists MUST be indoctrinated from childhood to obtain their magical belief.

What do you mean by "prehistoric people"? If you can clarify that I can explain human evolution to you.

I also want to know your educational background.

I asked you a simple, honest question & would appreciate a simple, honest answer.

Why is evolution taught in our public schools? Should it be? Why or why not? I dont think it should be. I'm not saying creationism should be taught in our public schools even if I believe in creationism and think its a good idea in a perfect world. No Satan doesnt want creationism taught to our children so it will never be. I'm just saying that a theory that hasn't been 100% proven shouldn't be taught in our schools as scientific fact.

I mean around 18 years ago when I was in high school it was taught to me that we evolved from monkeys and it was taught to us as if it was a proven fact. Yet science has proven recently that we didn't evolve from monkeys scientists now think we evolved from something else. Well which is it? If evolution is such an ironclad piece of science than why did scientists get it wrong? When teaching evolution why not say that nobody knows exactly where we came from and that evolution is one theory that explains the origins of life?

I mean to an average scientist evolution has been proven and they deny that a God created the universe and to an average Christian scientist creationism has been proven and it's been proven that not only did a God create the universe but it was their God. Do you see what I'm saying? They can't both be right on the origins of life. Either we evolved or Christ created us. But I still argue that you cannot teach a theory as scientific fact and then when parts of it are proven false then say "It's still scientific fact we just got part of it wrong."
Evolution does not address the origins of life. That is a straw man.

Other theories. The Big Bang theory, for instance. But evolution doesn’t and yet for some reason, many Christians think it does.
Acutally evolution does ... or should ... but evolutionists found a way around that.

Evoluton, per se, addresses everything.

It's called cosmic evolution.

The-Stages-of-Cosmic-Evolution-by-Eric-Chaisson-17.png


Of which biological evolution is just one stage.

But evolutionists today truncate the other seven and claim evolution has nothing to do with them.

That way, they don't have to explain abiogenesis.

Neat, huh?

Scientists don’t find it embarrassing that they haven’t figured everything out yet. That is what they find thrilling about their work. They have no need to cover up or pretend to know what they do not. The fact that we don’t yet have a clear understanding of the origin of the universe does not delegitimize our understanding of biological evolution. They are not avoiding explaining abiogenesis in the least, unlike many religious people who are embarrassed to admit they don’t actually know it all.

Have you ever taken a college course on the matter, or read a book explaining evolution? What is your level of education and what is your area of study?
