legislature fouls up again & Jindal will not stop it

I don't think it has been fully proven that man simply evolved from apes. There is a large gap of data that has not been found, right?

 

What I am referring to is a significant gap in which no logical progression can be found. I didn't really mean apes, I was being very unscientific in my terminology.

 

It's something I'd heard. Man, always demanding specific proof. :hihi: I can't tell anything from that little graph you put up and I am not an anthropologist, so if you disagree I don't have the time to research and change your/my mind.

 

It isn't quite that cut and dry, and there are gaps in the fossil record. New ancestors and dead ends are being discovered on a near annual basis. Human evoloutionists have a great idea of the general direction of our evoloution, and know most of the steps along the way, but there is still a lot of debate.

 

I wish Cotton was a monkey :hihi:

This is all fine and dandy, but how about you go tell my teachers who taught me about evolution on multiple levels that it doesn't deny the existance of a higher being. All I am saying is in my personal experience(my fault for neglecting to mention this in my earlier post), teachers were happy to make that connection when teaching on evolution. If they could stick to purely scientific then that's fine, but a lot of them out there make a connection to the religous with it and that's where I have the problem. I think if your teachers are going to make that connection, that the theory of creationism should have an equal shot at being taught. If the teachers leave out the connection I was taught, then leave out creationism.

To steal from Einstein "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.'' I believe there is strong evidence for evolution, but by no means has it been proven, I certainly didn't like my personal experiences with teachers making a connection to religion to try and tell me how wrong my faith is. But all that said, I tend to make a connection between the two in my beliefs(which is a whole different disscussion in itself).

Again, I think it is absurd to be legislating this crap. I'm with you Red I think all faith and all religions should not be forced on students. I also thing creationism (Cannot be proven or disproven) should be left for the Church and/or home because of its close connection with that of religion. I just think people are turning their heads and not wanting to hear it if they think teachers in the schools arn't making the connection. Maybe it was just my experience but I tend to think where there is smoke, there is fire. If I'm wrong than thats fine but personal experiences in this world are what tend to shape our opinions.

 

where does the crystal skull people fit in this chart?
