    Come on everyone, Martin wants to debate his favorite topic again...

    Why is it his favorite topic, you ask?

    Quite simply, his frustrated subconscious is begging for a rock-solid logical argument or proof that would finally allow him to believe in Big Daddy.:hihi:

    i do like to discuss how i want to believe in big daddy, but this time i just thought that was an entertaining link, in light of the recent kansas school board deciding they are anti-sanity.

    some school board has voted to include intelligent design and the debate over evolution in their science classes. they argue that they should "teach the debate" because both sides have merit. the only problem is that intelligent design gets no respect from scientists, only religious zealots.

    this has become bigger news in the last few days because bush has weighed in on the side of intelligent design. that is unfortunate. his science adviser admits that intelligent design is retarded, but bush says whatever foolish thing he wants. (i still love my my man bush though).

    this is like is we "teach the debate" over whether you actully get the 70 virgins after a murder suicide of americans. there is a debate, and lots of people on both sides, but one side is 100% lunatics.

    thats the point of the flying spaghetti monster link. why not "teach the debate" because some people believe in the spaghetti monster and were touched by his noodly appendage. the point being that faith is the opposite of science and belongs in religion classes. teaching children magic at a young age is a total disaster. they cant get over it even as they get older, as many people here prove. you basically ruin their ability to reason. it is a tragedy.

    i remember being in jr. high and our science teacher, before covering evolution, told us that she was not able to talk about creation. So she led the class through a prayer to pray for all those lost souls. Then she went on to skim through it, showing us a picture of a monkey, smirking and laughing, saying "They trying to say this is our great great great grandfather." Of course, we all laughed with her.

    I laughed in the class room, but went on to put a lot of thought on the subject. Probably the first deep, logical, thinking that i had ever done.

    That makes you Agnostic, not Atheist... Atheists deny the existance of a God or gods, an Agnostic is "one who believes it is impossible to know if there is a God or Gods"...
