As a Pastafarian* (edit, oops sorry about that) i am equally adamant that the Pastafarian version of events be reinforced to your children in school as well So, catwoman, we agree in our stance on religious belief in school God is real....he made me. he made me and i should give him more devotion than i do

I have a degree in science..I understand microbiology. i can tell you...we didnt evolve from nothing. God had a hand in it..our bodies are too complex. God made us and he made the ground we walk on. We abuse it...and I belive he has forgiven and expected that.

Yes, our bodies are too complex and nothing is an accident.

My child goes to a Christian school too. don't worry you're secret is safe with me The school doesn't teach scientific theories as of yet. They skipped the chapter about Neanderthals. I teach the theories to my child. I explained the Neanderthals. I want my child to learn about everything.

My twelve year old just got home from school. I asked her how we we were made. she said our mommys and daddys. i said no silly how did the human race get started? she said adam and eve. I then asked her who put adam and eve here? and she said God. I told her never to forget that. This SHOULD be reinforced in schools. BUT since its not, I can reinforce it in my home. right, and you can reinforce that the world is flat and that the best way to get though life is to not think and just live by fear. She sould be fine, the world needs more ditch diggers anyway.

They are trying to get people to think outside of the box.

There may or may not be a god. To say that there deffinitly is or is not is being inelectualy dishonest. But I don't personaly see much reason to think that there is. Evolution does not disprove god, and to think that it does or for a creationist to be so sfraid of it is bizare. Evolution is not realy even debated in the scientific community. How it works is but not evolution itself. I find it odd that someone would just tell their child that there is only one way to see the world. But it's how we get ignorant people and i guess we need all kinds. I am a rabid agnostic, but I tell my kid about both god and the science side and even have takein him to church. I want him to know all sides of an issue and then he can dicide for himself. I guess some people do not trust their children to be smart enough to do that. And maybe some are not smart enough to that, and if thats the case then good job.

I can see that the views of the majority here are very distorted. No reality for you. sigh No, evolution is not just the changes in one individual. However, if that individual survives and reproduces, it then affects the evolution of the population. I don't see how you're missing this; evolution is constantly happening. It's just easier to see over longer periods of time. Y'all just wait 'til we get our pirate ship. You'll see who's calling who a spoof then What made me? Well, biology. My dad's sperm met me mom's egg and formed a zygote, the rest is history How else do you explain pregnancy, really?

We are continuing to evolve. You just aren't going to see a difference in only a matter of a few thousand years and you definitely aren't going to see a difference in the time photos have been around. Homo sapiens have only been around about 200,000 years. It takes MILLIONS of years to make a noticeable difference. There were other hominids before us as well; ie. homo habilis, erectus, and georgicus. Their species died out as many others do. Also, you do know that genetic "defects" are pretty good proof that evolution is real? If those webbed feet were somehow beneficial to that person, lets say ice caps melt and we get a Waterworld scenario, and their children had webbing as well a few million years from now we could have hominids with fins. THANK YOU! Please, give this a read: http://www.abarnett.demon.co.uk/atheism/evolution.html I know I'm probably trying in vain here, y'all seem rather hopeless Contrary to the beliefs of certain people, humans did not evolve from chimps or gorillas or any other modern primate. We share common ancestors, that's all. Evolution is taking place as we speak. Your children are different from you. And you're different from your parents. Right? Unless you want to argue about the reality of DNA...in that case Take autism for example. Natural variation. Evolution? Yes, in the sense that it's a deviation form the "standard" human genetic makeup. Not, however, in the sense of it being necessarily "better" than the standard. Evolution doesn't have to be positive, it can just as easily be negative or neutral. The appendix. Where do you think that came from? It's a vestigial organ that really has little use in the human body - yet in "lesser" species it serves a real purpose. I once had a science teacher that theorized that humans would eventually lose their little toes and have much wider carpal tunnels, but I doubt this, as those traits really don't give anyone any benefit in the way of ultimate survival or reproduction. I have yet to hear of anyone dying from stubbing their toes or having carpal tunnel syndrome before they reached sexual maturity. Evolution can take a long time, or it can take a short time. Look at dogs. The different breeds are proof positive of evolution. The link is good. Thanks. I like the chimp.

So...you're saying that a human body is so much more complex than that of any other animal that it couldn't have possibly been the work of nature? Faulty reasoning. Name one thing that's too complex to be a result of nature/evolution/natural selection/what-have-you.

All of this has given me a tremendous amount of insight into ignorance and apathy. After my long and tiring studies and research on the matter I have come to the conclusion that I don't know and I don't care!

Name one thing that's too complex to be a result of nature/evolution/natural selection/what-have-you. The human bodies and all animal bodies. Hmm...example. The process of making urine is quite interesting. Also, all the cells and macrophages and red blood cells and those little pac man cells that help get rid of cellular wastes. All of the systems and how they work together is all quite amazing actually.
