Intelligent Design Theory: Science or Religion?

And what precisely is your evidence for that ridiculous assertion fm bearing in mind we are talking about schools and not higher education where there is a much stronger motive to pay attention.

You have demonstrated that you don't pay attention to the thread by not knowing it was Lola who asked the question you are failing to answer after having had three days to think about it. I answered it within a minute of seeing it posted. So schoolkids can be expected to not pay much attention to exegesis on 600 million year old bat knuckle bones specially selected to prove that we are monkeys in rowdy classrooms containing 40 teenagers of mixed sex and a lowly paid teacher who probably doesn't understand the subject but thinks s/he does after being passed through the middle-class flattery mill where the marking is a bit lax and the questions have been leaked to make sure the institution has a fine reputation and the caps and gowns have been sold and the photographs and videos produced at the usual prices.

How's that for a bunch of deft assertions backed up by the evidence of my senses and the reports of the best writers and having witnessed the intellectual capacities of the "graduates" and the "masters" and maybe even the "doctorates" for many a long year.

It's great really. America must contain more intellectuals than anybody ever dreamed of before and which Darwinian evolution theory would have a hell of a job explaining.

Do the IQ testing stations do a good trade in certificates?

Reminder to self: Do not drink hot liquids and read Spendius' posts at the same time.

Could someone please send me the schedule of voting days wherein the democratic process of muzzling science takes place. I want to vote in favor of researching cancer drugs but against the Law of Gravity.

Dear me!

I think your next one is 2008. You might be able to fine tune the educational system to your personal needs if you get enough followers.

Go for it.

Doubt it. It hasn't worked for the creationst wackoes yet.

Referring back to fm's nonsensical assertion it struck me that Foxy seems to think that anti-IDers are having great difficulty learning a simple thing that she has been trying to teach them until she's blue in the face and they are engaged in a hobby where learning is supposed to come readily.

Hokie hasn't learned it yet it looks like.

It is the consensus Hokie that fine tunes the educational system to its needs not one section of it and anyone not happy with it is basically criticising the fine tuning and thus the consensus itself.

That was really, really bad . . . may you burn in Hell for your irreverance . . .

Honestly, splendi, I can barely understand your writing because everything you write is one huge sentence. You seriously need to take some time to separate your ideas and avoid the massive run-ons. Use some punctuation once in a while.

So what is it that I haven't learned? That not all IDers are crazy anti-science people? I believe that is what foxy was trying to say. And I do understand and agree with her. My last post said nothing about that. However, it's my opinion that the idea of a creator and the story of creation is crazy - just as my telling you that my cat can shoot laser beams out of his eyes, turn invisible and poop ice cream. So it follows that anyone who believes completely that story, is crazy.

Your cat can poop ice cream ? ! ? ! ?

Is it edible?

um... it's ice cream, isn't it ? sometimes, you even get some chocolate topping.

Hmmm . . . i think i'll pass . . .

How much are shares in your company Hokie?

Huh?

Oh, I would never vote against your personal Law of Gravity, Setanta. That would be rude. I would only vote to, in the words of the Great S(pendius),
. I take that to mean we can each individually shape science and education. Good.

I am also voting against those eliptical orbits of the planets for two reasons 1) the Church has always said the orbits ought to be perfectly circular thus reflecting the perfection of God's creation and 2) try as I might, I never mastered those damned parabola equations.

Oh, I just had a thought. No, really. If you could all vote to make Fluorine lighter than Argon, I could get another three points on Sister Mary Elephant's Chem II exam.

Spendi would vote against the law of gravity (so that he won't fall on his ass when he is drunk).

Spendi dresses on the right, but buttons on the left!

All Hail bright morning!.

I would suggest a visit to the Trivia Games if it wasn't that they are so intellectually challenging when Clary is playing out. hehehe!

jeet?

A Hindi or Urdu word meaning victory.

nope its Tennessee

Hardly anyone understands parochialisms.

Still not decided on the muzzlings fm?

Looks like a "Don't Know" then.
