I find the notion that some people still refuse to believe in evolution to be absolutely horrifying.

I find the arguments that people use to support their refusal to be even more appalling.

Sincerely,
Steve

I was at Freep.com yesterday and noticed that headline on the front page. Man, Dick DeVos is an idiot to try and make this issue into a schools' rights thing.

I find the notion that people still refuse to believe that Jesus was the Christ absolutely horrifying. And their arguments for not doing so are even more appalling. Transitional species? Where? Zebra? Oh wait, no.
Archaebacteria developing lungs, livers, hearts, kidneys, spinal cords, all around the same time? Oh wait, no, that’s not possible either. You’re better off believing scientology, least it makes it a little more sense.

YEAH!!!!! YOU TELL EM' ANONYMOUS! SCIENTOLOGY MAKES *WAY* MORE SENSE THAN WHAT YOU"VE WRITTEN! You're on a roll. Anyways, there is no refuting evolution. We can see it work with anti-biotic resistant bacteria and the way humans are getting even bigger bodies and brains. How the first cell was formed, we have no idea. Learning about this in my evolution class, organic molecules were created in a labrotory setting using the model of a new Earth. Then it was also found that RNA molecule pieces can replicate themselves faster in certain cases, thus producing a natural selection. So far, science has not been able to determine how we go from RNA pieces to cells and all the steps in between. Maybe something beyond us gave those molecules a nudge. Who knows ( ... )

What does it matter if I am anonymous? And if you knew who I was? Would that change your arguments in anyway? No. So shut up and argue. Don’t worry about who you're arguing with.

Just because you have left wing liberals pushing for evolution in schools does not mean intelligent design is extinct. Has it been disproved? No.

I guess your evolution class doesn’t teach relatively basic biology concepts that should have been taught in intro bio courses?
"We can see it work with anti-biotic resistant bacteria and the way humans are getting even bigger bodies and brains."

1. Anti-biotic resistant bacteria are not the result of evolution. Random mutations occur within the bacteria to create an immunity. Random mutations does not equal evolution. OR, holy hell the bacteria is "naturally selected" by the environment because maybe it developed by random mutation to survive. These random mutations and just that--random.

2. The increase of the average height in humans is also not a result of evolution. Hell, I'm not sure you can even claim ( ... )

So I should shut up and argue? Two completely diffrent things...anyways, that's fine if you want to hide behind the anonymous thing. We can't all be known as pretenders. Eh, that's besides the point. Another thing besides the point that was brought up anyway was the whole labeling it as a left liberal wing ideal or something like that. You see, these librals don't have to "push" for it to go anywhere. It's already in the text books as a proven theory, which while still able to be disproven,would be hard to refute, kinda like the theory of gravity. Enough of the side issues, onto the meat ( ... )

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God ( ... )
