    That is an old argument, if people are still talking about that then you know they aren't in the debate, they are just throwing things out and hoping their target audience just take it as fact.

    Evolution is a certainty, get over it.
    Right because idiots from the evolution side are that much smarter than the idiots from the church side riiiight .All i see is some idiots trying to make reason of why they exist by trying to put their made up ideas without proof as the real truth, just like the christians do. Until there is empirical truth that mass evolution happened i will take what they say with a grain if salt.

    To be honest i do believe in evolution but i respect the creationists because evolution is not the real truth until proven otherwise.

    I'll just remind everyone that science never believes in anything to be an absolute certainty. Science deals in relative certainties. On the spectrum of certainty, a scientific theory is the closest thing to absolute truth, and that is where evolution is for scientists.

    I've never understood why any religion would consider the theory of evolution to be a threat. To me there's no reason for a belief in a higher power/spirit to contradict natural selection and evolution.

    Earlier in the thread several posters said that if someone refutes evolution it doesn't matter to them. Here's why it should matter: Although only a small minority of evangelical Christians (Protestants, for all you Catholic bashers) demonize evolution and promote such nonsense as the earth only being 4000 years old, they have been able to have enough political power to actually change the way evolutionary science is taught in schools in places like Texas and Tennessee. This is a very dangerous development imo.

    i actually have a dark secret that i hide from my friends and family, which is that i post regularly on this f--king board.

    sometimes i wonder what they will think if they see i'm in a forum that makes threads like "damn, i just jerked off to anime. my dad is gonna whoops my ass" or some other senseless bullshit. the ass and boobs threads that come up once in awhile are fine and normal, but a lot of stuff is just weird. i come here because it's a guilty pleasure and i do find some shit entertaining, but i'm sure "less abnormal' people might find this shit totally retarded, and i probably can't refute that assertion.

    but of all the possible threads that i think can be embarrassing, this has to be the tops. what kind of f--king idiots still ask if evolution is legit or not. are you still living in a cave? that debate is just so f--king retarded i can't believe i'm here to read it. it doesn't matter if you can't explain black holes or astrophysics, but if you can't even understand evolution, you're just the most retarded mothafugga on the planet.

    and the second most retarded mothafugga... that would be me because i hang out with you hopeless retards on this forum.

    true enough

    However, the point of the scientific method is to only accept an idea if there is evidence and testing behind it and if that idea produces testable conclusions which turn out to be true.

    If society doesnt require evidence to form beliefs, then what is the argument against believing that a being named the Supreme Kai rules the universe and works hard to prevent a magical demon named Majin Buu from being reincarnated?

    Evolution is taught in schools and there is 0 restriction on researching it independently in the United States.
    There is a movement in the US, (mainly the bible belt and the south) to start teaching intelligent design in biology classes.

    Many conservative congressman support the teaching of intelligent design (which is just creationism) and also vote and advocate for the defunding of public science education.

    If someone came up to you and said that they know just as much about basketball as you and that they base this on their belief that Steve Blake is a better basketball player than Lebron, would you not feel that in regards to your basketball knowledge you are superior to them?

    You can feel superior to some people in some facets, but at the same time feel inferior in many other facets. If person A feels superior to Person B because person A accepts evolution as scientific fact, and person B believes that intelligent design is correct and has supporting evidence, then Person A is justified in believing they have superior knowledge of how homo sapiens came to exist. Now this doesnt mean that Person B is not in fact superior in all other ways.

    A person believing that steve blake is better than Lebron is similar to believing in intelligent design, as they both have the same amount of supporting evidence, and both beliefs have a mountain of conflicting evidence.

    This is why people have a problem with evolution deniers

    Crazy shit, and it doesn't stop with evolution. The ass backward hillbilly legislature in my state voted last year to completely ignore any predictions of rising sea levels that were based on actual hard data and scientific research. In their own twisted way it's an attempt to spur economic development along the coast. "I don't care what some long haired hippy college sissy says about rising sea levels, I say we build a big goddamn casino right on the beach!"

    Of course if they truly have God on their side they might actually be able to stop the sea level from rising.

    I want to say this is way overblown though...I grew up in Dallas went to school here at every level and in science class we were shown the theory of evolution and NOT Adam and Eve.

    and we were taught the scientific method...

    I could be wrong but I really don't think there are any science books in Texas that are teaching creationism as fact, world only 4000 years old, etc...if so then that needs to be dealt with ASAP

    Totally agree. A person can believe that God created the Earth, but should accept the evolution/natural selection is just one of the many ways in which their God made the world.
