Do you have this short of a memory or is this on purpose?
Was Darwin racist, and did evolution push racism? (souls, grace, America) - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism, God, Universe, Science, Spirituality, Faith, Evidence - City-Data Forum
Cutting and pasting links to competing message boards does nothing to support your case for gawds and magic. As with so many religious zealots, you hope to vilify Darwin. However, your limited science background and your failure to understand the basic model of the ToE leaves you ill prepared to criticize the specifics.
With your limited understanding of science and the natural world, IÂ’m sure it comes as a crushing blow to your fundamentalist views that evolution does disprove IDÂ’ism. As we know, IDÂ’ism is a remanufactured theology for those like you who contend that will insist that mankind has reached the limits of knowledge and so must confine all the rest of our unanswered questions to the mind-numbing "the gawds did it" explanation.
The real engine of hate driving the religious extremist agenda revolves around your gawds being left out of science. Since science cannot investigate the supernatural, religious extremists hope to redefine science. You and the extremists like you perceive science and knowledge as a direct threat to your imposition of fear and superstition. Remarkably, you and those like you are totally in denial about the damage you have inflicted on humanity with the imposition of such fear and superstition. Your objections to the ToE are not scientific, but theological. You rail against the ToE with not a whit of understanding of the basic model.
Ultimately, shouldn't the question be, "How does ID disprove Evolution"? It doesn't, of course. And despite objections from the Christian extremists, evolution still happens. If the hand of one or more gawds (and there is no reason why your gawds are necessarily included in that roll call) is behind existence, there is no evidence of it. In any case, Science cannot investigate the supernatural. There may be things science can never explain, and it accepts that limitation. But the Kansas school board notwithstanding, Science investigates natural phenomena, natural causes, natural effects. The supernatural is not in view.
The Dover case and other humiliating defeats of the Christian extremist aganda amply proved that ID is nothing but a theological attempt to put Christian fundamentalism into the public schools. The goals of the Discovery Institute and fundamentalist charlatans like them are to impose Christian fundamentalism upon schools and government. They wish to transform this nation into a theocracy, intolerant of non-Christians or Christians who do not agree with them, and imposing their concept of "morality" upon the population.
I hope to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we wonÂ’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be.
