SoSick you are fond of calling people ignorant here. This thread is starting to feel rather unpleasant and argumentative. We are all ignorant in some ways because none of us knnows everything, not if we have 20 letters of qualifications after our names, not if we consider ourselves to be the most devout people on earth. Discussing ideas is fun and interesting, but trading insults is just a real downer.
Linda.
You'll notice linda, that I have never called anyone ignorant until they called me ignorant first.
Sorry LInda, but i'm not ignorant and if you or jill want to consistently use that route to slander my opinion or my faith, I will simply smear your face on the wall with your own ignorance. You came here originally throwing rocks at quite a few people until you understood their situations better. Jill consistently throws rocks indiscriminately. take a better look at yourself please.
There isn't any info on plate tetonics asiide form a slight mention of what scientists currently believe on that page so I missed the joke.
Your understanding of the bible is obviously not very good to begin with which lends quite a bit to the things you lable as riduculous.. as a simple for instance... a day in God's time is not 24 hours like it is in London.
the biggest problem is that you think you know the bible, maybe you read some of it, maybe you even read the whole thing. But when you present your ideas concerning it, it's pretty clear your comprehension of what you are discussing , is insufficient. Just like Jill's lack of comprehension when she tries to say that evolution is science and then tosses out a defintion of theory that includes words like empircal, falsifiable, even data... all of which are things that the theory of evolution
lacks rather than contains. She is agreeing with me and doesn't even realize it, so she continues arguing. Personally linda, I do think that is a pretty clear indication of ignorance.
It really isn't possible to have an intelligent discussion with anyone about anything of one f the people do not understand the words they are using or the ideas they are proposing.
What exactly is your point? we all know by now that you think creationism and the idea of intelligent design is funny. OK. But that's just your perspective, which, from another perspective, is not well informed and therefore not worthy of serious discussion.
Only this morning did you take the time to examine creationism a little as you tell us above yet you have been acting as though you have been researching it for years,,, which is the problem Linda. it's easy to see that you have not, and you have finally just now admitted the truth, you should have done it days ago because your own ideas are pretty funny too if can say so myself... I cannot say I personally agree with everything on the page you linked here, but that's my perogative. However, it's a pretty well informed opinion. For instance, here is an instance of a Smithsonian Institution sciientist being dragged through the mud for his anti-evolution beliefs:
Smithsonian Scientist Was Demoted for Views Critical of Darwinian Evolution
http://www.evolutionnews.org/2006/12/the_house_government_reform_su.htmlWhat you apparently don't realize Linda, is that since the current status quo is evolution, if you want a good job, you have to maintain the status quo, at least in public. But I know oh a few people here and there Linda, and i can assure you, that in private, people high and low will tell you most sincerely, if they trust you, that they do believe otherwise quite often. I have anywhere between 2500 and 3000 christian clients Linda, a good portion of whom work in govt jobs.
DNA itself was first recognized not using ideas of evolutionary theory... which truly are useless to science, they lead nowhere almost every time... but rather using intelligent design as a foundation. The discovery and mapping of the genetic code is probably the biggest addition to biological research in the past century or even more. Yet, it is far from agreement with evolution. Now at least, you know that and you can research it further yourself.
