God's ahead in Kansas

And what the hell does all that silliness have to do with the subject at hand? Sounds more like biology admixtured with social science to me.

Funny, but true in many ways.

I live in Kansas so I herd all about the evolutionists wanting to boycott the debates...they didn't want to stand up to them because they knew that they wouldn't be able to withstand against the Inteligent design group...and they didn't want to make their theory look bad.

They knew it was pointless to try to convince a biased school board of religious revolutionaries.

creationists are biased toward evolution, evolutionists are biased toward creation...we have a two fold on this subject. If everyone was a millionair..who then would be considered rich?

it was the creationists trying to convince the schoolboard to teach an alternative to evolution, not the other way around...it was the creationist's move to have the debate...not the evolutionists decision. The schoolboard is pro evolution.

Creation does not harm science, many say that if creation it tought in the schools, then science research and all the ones who study it will be harmed. This is so wrong.

I hear alot about people forcing their religion upon others..and this is a subject in the schools for the liberals and their opinion about creathin. Evolution is a religion..atheism is a religion...these are being forced as well as the "forcing" creationism on others.

That's not how it appears from what I read in the Kansas City Star.

Science is a search for answers. Creationists already have the answers and are looking for ways to support them. Nothing they ever find will change the answers which were predetermined.

Evolution is NOT a system of belief, but a scientific theory which has no credible alternative. Neither is atheism a religion, but actually a lack of.

Now this a bit of a stretch. Most evolutionsists are Naturalists, which is certainly a belief systems. And if anyone holds to the basket of theses we group into evolution becasue of a lack of alternatives, that is a belief system as well. Lack of alternatives does not a theory make.

And atheism is CERTAINLY a belief system. Agnosticism may not be.

I can't say that I agree with that. Saying that I don't believe in God is not saying I believe there is no God. I personally don't accept that there is or ever has been any evidence of any God.
