Exposing the Fallacies of Science/Atheist-ism & Proving Intelligent Design!

Because Christianity in the US is dominated at the moment by a number of evangelical sects, ie the Southern Baptist Association, along with numerous mega churches that don't have any type of hierarchy and sort of make the rules up themselves. Not that there's anything wrong with that but evolution has been a target of a lot of them and it really doesn't make them look all that smart.

the baptist's (at least the national org) have a statement about evolution as well.

and yes, evangelicals/biblers are important in the US (even though its maybe 20 million people IIRC) because they vote as a block and run for local offices such as school board. GWB doesnt get elected in 2000 without the block support of these groups. of course, then the head of the national organization was caught buggering other dudes. but that doesnt matter right? As long as we get a fundamentally unscientific view taught in science classes, god will forgive all buttbuggery.

Uh so it's the Evangelicals?
Wow.
I didn't know they were that big.
Thanks for the info!

they may not all identify as such, but the national evangelical congress? is a big part of it. Basically people who are xtian, but dont have a denomination. born againers, "bible" churches, evangelicals and so forth.


they spread so much mis-information about evolution (both the process as well as the various records of it) that a great deal of more casual people also buy into it. "Jimbo says evolution means there is no god. well, i believe in god, so evolution must be full of it." I bet 90% of those people polled who dont "believe" in evolution couldnt explain a single aspect of the theory, geologic record, embryology, etc.

That would be funny if it weren't true.

and I was asking if you accept them. simple question requiring a simple answer. Funny how you can accept the broad implications of differential breeding changing allele frequencies in a population, but not acknowledge that the changes in allele frequencies are due to differential breeding success based on phenotypic traits. So, you dont eat domesticated foods then?

You implied that I didn't accept those mechanisms, when we were talking about differentiating facts(evolution) and theories that attempt to explain evolution(natural selection, non-random differential breeding, etc). Those mechanisms are theories that attempt to explain how the fact of evolution occurs.
