Anon - You repeatedly avoid the points and questions and bring it back to your problems with God with silly reasoning, semi-insulting comments, sarcasm and condescension. It seems that your problem is not with the evidence that we are trying to discuss, (which you won't) but rather your "why" questions about the world. Yet it is you who tells people to grow up? Relax man (or girl), have green tea, have an adult discussion, respond to points and questions in a non-epileptic manner lol.

PWCCA- No, I do not have as much a problem with other errors taught in school, as I think it has less impact, unless of course you are a mayan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Linda Lou - I haven't gotten the perception you have from the thread. No one is saying don't send kids to school. I value education highly. But, it is now unteachable in school (and science) that perhaps we didn't evolve. But there is strong evidence to suggest this, and large holes in evolutionary theory.

About being open minded, I have researched this from east to west, read many books on the subject (for and against) This is not a quick decision that I've made. You have studied much about mercury, its effect, detox etc. If a dentist (who is very learned himself) were to tell you now that amalgams are safe are you being close minded because you disagree?

Disagreeing does not equal Close mindeness, and close mindedness does not equal intolerance. But since you brought it up, it would seem to me that if anyone were practicing this, mainstream education and science are the ones being close minded when they exclude the idea of intelligent design.

I also enjoy all of you being on the forums (with the exception of anon, but there is hope for him once he hits puberty <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Don't take anything said here beyond the scope of what it is, a debate about creation/evolution. We can (I can anyway) all be friends still, and I think its a good idea to keep this away from the amalgam forum so we can swap boxing gloves for hand holding....I'm cool with that.

Junk science refers to conclusions that are not tested, preproduced and proven. If many of the evidences were brought to a court of law and examined out of the context of evolution, it would certainly create a reasonable doubt.

Case in point (this will take you all of 15 minutes to look up) look up "Lucy" a major discovery for evo theory. Look up the location and conditions of her found bones. Also, check out Avida, a computer program that "proves" evolution, and explain to me how that is the proof they make it out to be.
