Alas PF...there are many before us. ;)

PF.....Has it ever struck you how close the shape of a frisbee is to a UFO? :yikes:


I guess your religion allows idol worship? :D :p

Define 'idol'. :D

I still don't understand the big deal in presenting Intelligent Design in class. I had to sit through while they tried to tell me we evolved from monkeys. I did my homework and got my A. Why can't kids also be told there just might be another possibility? I'm all for presenting different opinions and views to our kids. Then she can home and learn the truth according to mama.

I am sorry you were so wronged by Christians and have so much animosity for them. I do admit we on occasion don't do ourselves justice when trying to deal with the world and get our message out. But really, some of us are pretty nice and capable of playing well with others. ;)

You're not going to flame me are you? :x:

great idea, osuche! but we should also eliminate literature, writting, and debate classes, any sort of theory class, economics classes, politics classes, and culture classes. they are all open to too much speculation and individual interpretation as well. we still have foreign language amd math...well, except for mathematical theory. oh! and gym is left too. art and music, except for maybe just the documented histoy of it peresented in time-line fashion, are definately out. hmmm...can't think of anything else, but i'm sure if we put our heads to it we can come up with a few more things we shouldn't teach. but pick something besides wikipedia. their info isn't always accurate. once i looked up shakespeare and all it said was this:

SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!SHAKESPEARE IS GAY!!!...and wrote good poems.

now that's some good info right there, but i was disappointed at the shocking lack of it. they should have at least listed the year he died.

:D:D

Thank you very much Tess. :thumb:

This intelligent design topic is a hot button thread that I was afraid of from the start and still surprised at the flash point level of from both prospective. Your statement actually makes this resemble a discussion instead of a pissing contest.

My understanding of the initial question was what should be taught in science class and not the validity of either concept. The bottom line for me is that the new subject label of ‘Intelligent Design’ just isn’t science and has no more place in a science topic than astrophysics has being injected into the Establishments of the Sacraments.


*carry on:D* ………. (ax handles available at the door :rolleyes2 )

Ramen PF Ramen ;)

Interesting press conference... click here


Monsignor Gianfranco Basti, director of the Vatican project STOQ, or Science, Theology and Ontological Quest, reaffirmed John Paul's 1996 statement that evolution was "more than just a hypothesis."

"A hypothesis asks whether something is true or false," he said. "(Evolution) is more than a hypothesis because there is proof."



Like I said...Evolution with a twist. :D


OK? Now can we go back to taking our clothes off?

WildIrish,

Good stuff! Thank you. :)

Take your clothes off! :grin:

WildIrish,

I presume that there is no one around here with a camera with a wide angle lens? :yikes:

Ooooooo a naked WildIrish!! :slurp:

Quite naked. :hot:

Well no, wikipedia isn't always accurate, but vandalism is usually quite easy to spot. Their article on Intelligent Design, in fact, is of high quality (IMO).

You're naked, right Belial?
