WoW:
Did I chill this thread out? Because I thought it was getting interesting with Dr. T's remarks about not claiming that evolutionary theory really addresses questions of creation.
Who believes that evolutionary principles are all we need to explain our origins in slime mold? Because that is the NUT of the problem with what's being taught as science.
The Scopes trial just didn't go far enough.. Because I can conceed the connection to the Great Apes.. But that doesn't mean "the science is solved" for your great great great ancestor "ole slimy"...
Evolution claims that there is a common origin of life. It does not make specific claims to how life started, that's an entirely different field of science called abiogenesis. We don't know much about how life started one earth and there are several theories. I've never heard the 'slime mold' one you speak of, though.
