Re: Theory of Evolution - argument for/against

That's not what I was implying. I'm saying, these types of questions have already been brought up in an earlier thread (more than once).

Creationism is my answer.
These types of questions have been brought up in earlier threads; if it was not an interesting question, no one would reply to it. This topic reared its head in a Holloween thread at this response, a mod said that it would be okay to continue the discussion 'in thread' but folks complained about hijacking so I started this thread. It was going to be 'should Evolution be taught in school' but I decided to make it a little more general.

The question is actually the title of this thread so throwing 'creationism' in is not an answer because it does not actually address the question. So if you wanted to divert the thread you should offer some discussion.

What's all the fuss about god or no god! Evolution or creationism.
The fuss is that people are interested in the discussion.

We are all chemical reactions! I must admit it is a complex chemical reaction.
What can a chemical reaction say about evolution?
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

We are by the fact that we are.
Part of what we are is an inquisitive species.

We need oxigen and other chemicals
Stop delivering them so will stop our chemical reaction and we say we die!
Anyone out there ever survived 20 minutes under water? For example.
How does this apply to the question at hand?
Quote ...
You can influence your chemical reaction by taking in a simple chemical compound : C2H5OH. Wich proves(no theory! anyone can do this, preferably at home) that you are chemical.
This proves nothing; it implies 'you are because you drink' but that is a sophomoric solipsism.

As I briefly alluded in a previous post - there does not appear to be anything in your post that argues for any side of the current question. So again I ask "if you are not going to add to the discussion, why are you posting?"

If you think your statements take a position, please expand on them to show how they are relevant. Then there can be discussion.

What do you mean throwing 'creationism' in is not an answer? Obviously I am implying that I am against the theory of evolution because of creationism.

Re: Theory of Evolution - argument for/against

He means that the thread isn't a yes/no poll, but rather a discussion on the for/against arguments. "I'm against" isn't an argument, it's merely a statement.

Talking about making a statement, I heard on Public Radio that lots of Americans travel to England to spit on the grave of Charles Darwin.

So these people spit on the floor of a christian church? Sounds sort of typically bizarre American behavior. Probably no more bizarre that the Brits who buried him in a christian church.

Re: Theory of Evolution - argument for/against

Evolution was theorized before Darwin. People such as Thales had view of a continually changing universe and natural selection as far back as 300 Bc.

I'm starting to like Aia.
I know 'like' is a personal choice but, jeeze, can you offer some support for such a radical (or should I say, reactionary) stand?
