Latest Challenges to the Teaching of Evolution

We don't pay on bets until the stewards give the "weighed in" signal.

Ionus : What do the majority want ? I am certain you are not advocating rule by social class...seeing we have replaced landed nobility with scientists.

Quote:

Farmerman : The majority want free cable tv. Think were gonna give it to em ANUS?. Fat cjance.

but think someone else here in addition to you would have noticed this alleged disenfranchisement proposal

They defy all scientific knowledge in fear of their own belief system based on creationism.

It is believed that there are other universe with other life forms.

I don't read that guys posts, but he is either lying or having too much hash to make a charge like that.

What interest does anybody have in your daily doings?

You'll have to do better than that to challenge evolution.

If evolution is not a chronological sequence and does not include the origins of life then it has holes.

if you support creationism, you ARE challenging evolution

If Spendius would rather live with the monster Devonian scorpion pictured above rather than with a tiny little spider taking refuge in his kitchen from the storm outside - let him

SInce the science of evolution has NEVER included the issue of the origins of life,

There are enough issues in genetics, geology, paleontology, biochemistry, geophysics, geochronology and biogeography to keep all the evolutionary scientists busy for the forseeable future.

cause the issue of "simple to complex" has been well established

If you wish to endorse the great "cosmic poofistic" explanation of the introduction of the living state to this planet

Now I see that ANUS....bullshit.

some kind of interdisciplanary jury of bullshit

So you have had a rest and now want to play with the big boys again,

Perhaps you will enlighten us as to why there are no holes in evolution and how life started. We wouldnt want you making a leap of faith in your religion of science now would we ?

The Definition of "Psychology"
by Gene Zimmer

The word "psychology" is the combination of two terms - study (ology) and soul (psyche), or mind. The derivation of the word from Latin gives it this clear and obvious meaning:

The study of the soul or mind.

This meaning has been altered over the years until today, this is not what the word means at all. The subject of psychology, as studied in colleges and universities, currently has very little to do with the mind, and absolutely nothing to do with the soul or spirit.

It is important to understand that words and ideas are supposed to refer to something. "The large tree in the front yard" refers to an actual thing that can be seen, touched and experienced. "The man walking his little dog last night at sunset" refers to an actual event that can be seen, observed and experienced. The realm of mind is an actual realm that can be experienced, and at one time there were words that accurately referred to this realm.

Let's see what a few dictionaries have to say and how a word could alter and lose its true and actual meaning.

"Psyche" is defined as:

1. The spirit or soul.
2. The human mind.
3. In psychoanalysis, the mind functioning as the center of thought, emotion, and behavior.

And defining "soul", we have:

1. the spiritual or immortal elements in a person.
2. a person's mental or moral or emotional nature.

Most of us would agree we have a "psyche" per the above definitions in the sense of mind, thought, and emotions. Most would also agree they have a "soul" per the second definition above relating to man's mental, moral or emotional nature. We might all have different notions about what these ultimately are, but few could sanely disagree they exist.

The derivation of "psyche" comes from Latin and the Greek psukhe - breath, life, soul. To get a better "feel" for this term try to think of it as the invisible animating principle or entity that occupies, interacts with and directs the physical body.

but you and spendi get in the way of my attempts to communicate

please try to get some of your attempts at science correct.

I wonder when you will again add something positive to this thread?

Why don't “you” enlighten us in how life started?

it's not you, then what's your problem.

You'll have to do better than that to challenge evolution.(I said: I am not challenging evolution.) You're not only a slow reader, but a dumbbell as well; if you support creationism, you ARE challenging evolution. DUH!

Here's a good article I picked up on the net:

Will that have to include the "pleicoene" period ?

If I am to reply to your positive contribution then it is clearly a long way in the future

Ahhhh, skollaship fem deep daannundah. Ev anutha beeah ye doosh beg.

Im waiting for your published paper
