A conjecture with the purpose of those exercising their freedoms of speech and thought, with the hope of finding an alternative theory of our source.<br /><br />To call us Right-Wings misguided is...insulting. You don&#39;t see us going around calling Atheism &quot;a disgusting perversion of the truth.&quot; Well, okay, maybe some people, but those are just the crazy people that always seem to make the news when the sane ones don&#39;t.<br /><br />I agree that religion should not be taught in school. Religion is for the parents to teach the children, and there are so many different Religions...like you said, if Christianity was taught, why not the others?<br /><br />Evolution is a well thought-out theory of where we came from, and I actually believe it to certain degree, (natural selection within species) but still hold tight to my beliefs. Call me a nut, a lunatic, whatever, but respect my opinion, just as I respect yours.L337MA573Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10824187.post-1115903808917688982005-05-12T09:16:00.000-04:002005-05-12T09:16:00.000-04:00Congratulations.<BR/><BR/>You just beat down an argument built by the reasoning power of a fucking third-grader. <BR/><BR/>What dragon will you slay next, master?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10824187.post-1115609174933488682005-05-08T23:26:00.000-04:002005-05-08T23:26:00.000-04:00<STRONG>Pika</STRONG>: *taking a bow*<BR/><BR/><STRONG>kthrne</STRONG>: Which we know, of course, lead to the Star Trek Wars (not to be confused with the Star Wars Trek).<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Phoenix</STRONG>: Thank you.

I am not sure why it is that people are suddenly so afraid of other people’s beliefs that it is becoming acceptable in some way to try to make laws that force people to believe what they do. Heaven forbid our kids learn what is commonly accepted scientific theory (like you said, haven’t we been over this?), and parents present their “side” of the story, and let the kids come to their own decision about what they believe. They might actually form their own opinion, and it might <I>vary! Mon dieu!</I><BR/><BR/>It wouldn’t surprise me that evolution couldn’t be a part of the creator’s Master Plan in some people’s minds. These are the same people who think that the same God who created the entire universe apparently doesn’t understand it at all, nor the people who reside here—why else would we all be going to hell except those who believe a very specific set of rules? <BR/><BR/>I guess not everyone can be lucky enough to grow up under the world view of a biologist who almost became a priest! ;-)Miss Scarlethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12712489530962692280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10824187.post-1115405642356704342005-05-06T14:54:00.000-04:002005-05-06T14:54:00.000-04:00Very well said, Master Kato! <BR/><BR/>As I was reading, I thought of comments I might make, but your coverage was so comprehensive that anything I might say would be redundant!<BR/><BR/>If your english is sublime, I imagine that your coding must be sculpture of high art!Litanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16549422900279878384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10824187.post-1115397967174384032005-05-06T12:46:00.000-04:002005-05-06T12:46:00.000-04:00Well done.

Too few understand that The Bible is in fact a combination of the stories and myths of several different peoples. <BR/><BR/>It's the same as if in the future people would believe the works of J.R.R Tolkien to be the truth. Or that there would be a Church of Star Trek, like in one of the episodes of Futurama.kthrnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00048409937034479093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10824187.post-1115383639807583902005-05-06T08:47:00.000-04:002005-05-06T08:47:00.000-04:00*applauds*PikaPikaChickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03976024118948002201noreply@blogger.com
