Human Evolution Is Not Taught In Public Schools

[fncceo]

higher animals all have complex eyes.

Not everyone can see with their complex eyes.

Dude, we are a failed species.

Don't judge the rest of us by your failed life...

I have windows, I see what time it is.

Listen, you are to fear filled to accept your insignificant, I get that. So babble all you like, you need it.

Say hello to God for me, peace.

 

[fncceo]

I laughed out loud again

Simple minds are easily amused.

 

[DudleySmith]

Sure, why teach a theory that may not be true and the majority of Americans (85% to 90%) do not believe?

You need to get a good natural science book that discusses evolution before embarrassing yourself anymore in claiming you know what a theory is or is not.

Why bother? there is no empirical chain of evidence for any form of life that proves evolution is a fact, so you should take a science course and learn about empirical methodologies before spamming threads with cult rubbish.

 

[WinterBorn]

it's just a hypothesis

Evolution is not just a hypothesis you dishonest retard. It's a theory. Ignorant people like you rarely understand the difference though.

I'm not ignorant one who believes in lies haha.

The Bible was never intended as a science or history book. Why teach morality tales as science?

You're right, the Bible is not a science book but it is a history book. However, we find science backs up the Bible. Anyway, I don't want to argue about teaching the Bible and creation science as science. I admit that is a dead curriculum. I don't think ID can be taught as science either as it was demonstrated to not be scientific. However, the Bible and creation science can be taught as religion in public schools. I think that is a worthy pursuit and have put some wheels in motion outside this forum.

Teaching the Bible and creationism in public schools would mean teaching all the other religions as well. Otherwise you would have selected a specific religion for gov't schools. And that is expressly forbidden.

Also, there are a number of things in the Bible that are not backed up by science. Noah's Flood, God through Joshua stopping the sun in the sky, and other specifics are not backed by science.

Listen, you are to fear filled to accept your insignificant...

Listen, you are too fear filled to accept you're insignificant...

Why is it that those most filled with their own sense of superior intellectual ability have the worst spelling and grammar?

 

[noonereal]

Simple minds are easily amused.

I admit it. You, my subspecies are not secure enough to do the same.

Peace loser

Anybody who thinks they have proof, go collect $10 million from the Royal Society.

One moment, please...

January 13, 2020


(CHICAGO, Illinois) – An incentive prize ten times the size of the Nobel – believed to be the largest single award ever in basic science – is being offered to the person or team solving the largest mystery in history: how genetic code inside cells got there, and how cells intentionally self-organize, communicate, then purposely adapt.


This $10 million challenge, the Evolution 2.0 Prize can be found at Evolution 2.0 AI & Origin of Life Challenge, $10M Prize | HeroX.


The new international competition is intended to speed breakthroughs around the still unknown process of cell communication that organizers predict can turn off cancer, allow robots to think for themselves and even create new plant life to combat climate change.

there is no empirical chain of evidence for any form of life that proves evolution is a fact

It's merely the best explanation we have that fits the existing data and observations. With additional data and observations, the the explanation will change.

That is how science works.

Lot's of reasons for this. First you must understand that there are many kinds of intelligence. (plus this is a message board, most people don't proof what they write. After that we can break it down further into personality types and how that affects us in grammar.

 

[DudleySmith]

I'm not sure of the numbers, yet, but it seems educators are willing to teach creation as a religion in public schools. It would include how humans developed. They won't consider it in science classrooms, but they may consider intelligent design for science.

It makes no difference what educators want or don't want when it comes to religion in public schools. It's a violation of the constitution to teach religion in the public schools.

No, it's not at all a violation of the Constitution, and all school districts in the U.S. are independent and locally operated; they can decide on any curriculum they want. It is the Fed who is barred from interfering with religious speech, not the other way around.

Some of the 'Intelligent design' arguments are just as valid as science, so there is no reason to favor one over the other in school curriculum; in fact it should be required, unless you want to ban both. Neither are factual at this point.

Not true. Some would certainly like for everybody to believe that, though.

Also, there are a number of things in the Bible that are not backed up by science. Noah's Flood, God through Joshua stopping the sun in the sky, and other specifics are not backed by science.

So what? Evolution has no scientific backing either.

Re the 'mythical' bible stories and 'science':

One moment, please...

" A modern literal interpretation of Genesis 1 matches modern cosmology, geology and the fossil record… exactly. "


...


If we had to make obtuse, complex assumptions in order to make this fit, we would have a serious problem. But our assumptions are simple, even elegant. This poetic 3500 year old text matches modern science exactly.


As little as 100 years ago, the prevailing scientific view disagreed with Genesis 1 (the “steady state” theory of the universe was in vogue). Genesis produced a testable hypothesis. Since then, astronomy, geology and biology have shown Genesis was right and the science of the time was wrong.


No other ancient text, scripture or religious tradition has a creation story that even comes close to Genesis in its accuracy. The Jewish scriptures compete admirably in the marketplace of ideas in the 21st century.



Seems those ancient Jews weren't nearly as stupid as modern Dawkins fans are; a very intuitive set of intellectuals, in fact.

Compared to Dawkins and his 'Happy Accident' rubbish, it's more sophisticated by far.

So, how does science prove 'Happy', anyway?

 

[fncceo]

most people don't proof what they write

If you have to proof-read to find basic spelling mistakes, that says more about you than you probably want revealed.

I get that Nihilism sounds very profound in a dorm room bull session, after the third Zima. But, to the rest of us, it's just self-indulgent pseudo-intellectual, ineffectual whining.

Like spending a night out with Holden Caulfield.

That's not how science works. Are you friggin' stupid? Yes you are you chimpanzee.

You admitted Lucy was a chimpanzee you monkey faced idiot. What were your parents baboons haha?

No, the ID’iot creation arguments are not just as valid as science.

Ten Major Court Cases about Evolution and Creationism | National Center for Science Education

1. In 1968, in Epperson v. Arkansas, the United States Supreme Court invalidated an Arkansas statute that prohibited the teaching of evolution. The Court held the statute unconstitutional on the grounds that the First Amendment to the U.S.

ID’iot creation arguments are nothing more than appeals to supernaturalism under a burqa of fundamentalist Christianity.

That’s so silly. The earth isn’t flat, the planet is more than 6,000 years old and the fossil record refutes a global flood just a few thousand years ago.
