Absolutely un-***** believable!

I don't picture you as being in a hole, but since I first started reading your posts I would never have suspected you considered yourself to be conservative......
 
You obviously don't understand evolutionary theory. It is indeed a very exact science. Your ad hom on Low is pathetic and a strawman. Just because he correctly believes in nonoverlapping magisteria doesn't make him hostile towards religion. There is simply no place for religion in the science class room because all science is based on natural causation. The fact that you can't except this most fundamental and age old ground rule of science doesn't make Low hostile towards religion. That's psychological projection on your behalf as it's proof of your hostility towards science.
Have I called for the science community to be burned at the stake? Nope. Have I stated that science is a waste of time, and that it should be replaced by religion? Nope. There is no hostility toward science, here, but there is PLENTY hostility towards religion coming from your side. Let's not get confused over which side is the aggressor in all this, OK? My only point is simple. If science can't explain something, then there is no harm in looking to the Divine for some guidance. Atheists limit themselves simply by being atheists.
 
I always considered WB more of a conservative/independent.

One of the few non-hacks on the board, actually. Definitely not beholden to any party.
 
Without being able to control all the variables, you can never have an exact science. The Theory of Evolution is far more than just a few guesses about fossils. There are huge volumes of data to back it up.

But the point is, if you are teaching science you should ONLY teach things that fit certain scientific criteria.

As for Low, I am not really concerned.
I just don't see the harm in appealing to a higher power to help explain the unexplainable. Religion and Science may not mix, but IMO, God himself knows all. Why not look to Him once in a while? Where's the harm in that?

Thanks, Oncie. That works for me. I think I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative. At one time that would have made me a conservative. But then the social conservatives took over and moved away from wanting the gov't out of our private lives.

I don't have a problem with anyone doing that. I have a problem with introducing a higher power in a science class. If for no other reason than to do so you have to not teach something else that is scientific. There is only so much classroom time. If you introduce something you have to remove something else.
 
Actually there is harm. When you introduce the divine youget people inventing "could be"s. Look at our discussion on the story of Noah's Ark or of the sun standing still in the sky. There is no evidence, but the response given was that a divine being could do it and not leave evidence.

There is no way to scientifically quantify the divine.
Nothing wrong with could be's in the classroom. Everything wrong with "Thus sayeth the Almighty" in the classroom.

Nothing scientific about "could be's" either. If there is some scientific hypothesis you can make, then introduce it. But to introduce "could be" simply because you don't have an answer is not scientific.
 
Yeah, mine's like that. They have yet to design something small enough to fit in one's pocket and big enough to fit one's fingers at the same time. And, of course, it is the perfect excuse for sloppy typing! :)
It's doubly difficult when one is lying in bed trying to keep the light from the wretched thing at a level that wont wake 'er indoors!
'Watch doin'?'
'Writing.'
'Watcha writing?'
'Been asked to solve the problems of the world.'
'Oh. G'night then.'

The auto spell can be quite amusing!

You are a dear!
 
Proof is all around you. There is simply no way that all this is an accident.

It is an accident, it is a long slow process! I do not know who or what is responsible, I just know it is marvelous. I do not require a supernatural being to enjoy it.
 
Liberals are for the Fair Tax Act? Thats funny. I actually chuckled at that one. It was written by a republican congressman and a conservative libertarian talk show host. Yeah, liberals are falling all over themselves to back that. lmao Use that 146 IQ you claim to have and do a little research before you spout off.

The fact that you have been attacked by liberals does not make everyone who attacks a liberal. That is absolutely hilarious "logic". Because that puts you, Dixie, DamnYankee, SR, ILA, and others as obamacult liberals. lmao

Liberals are for their version of fair tax was what I said.
Their version of fair tax is as I described.

I'm in no way affiliated with republicans.

Liberals attack non liberals and other liberals who do not toe the line.

Conservatives respond to those attacks.

Argh, you don't understand science.

There is a reason I typed "Fair Tax Act" instead of simple fair tax. What I am referring to is a specific piece of legislation. That you are uneducated in such a well known item is not my fault.

And are you claiming that conservatives never attack liberals??

I know about the fair tax act.
I know some liberals support conservative ideas.
Some liberals are Christians.

Conservatives never attack.
Did palin make vicious and menacing attacks on Obama and his family?
Did Romney?
Liberals are vicious, violent criminals.
Look at their heros, tawana Brawley for example is considered a victim by liberals!!
 
Conservatives never attack.

WTF??? This one sentence shows you are delusional. It is that simple.

Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts have created an entire segment of "entertainment" devoted to attacking liberals. That you can, with a straight face, type the sentence I quoted shows you have no problem lying like hell.

Too funny!!!

Show me personal attacks from any conservative politician directed at liberal politicians families?

Or in general abusive attacks like liberals "top ten conservative women who deserve to be hate fucked"?

Limbaugh is a joke, an entertainer.
 
In English, you must have meant,

about "an environmentalist"
or
about "environmentalists"
or
about "environmentalism"

Idiot.
Nice evasion. This idiot happens to work as AN environmentalist at a professional level. Which might explain why I find your previous comment about environmentalist so offensive. So.....so what the fuck do you know about environmentalist? I'll tell you one thing. I think you'd be real schocked at how many environmentalist are conservatives.
