Pick up some old books on creationism and some new ones on ID and compare.galenrox said:I'm curious about Intelligent Design actually. I can't tell if it's just a new name for creationism, or if it's conceding evolution, and just saying that a God planned it out.
I think that schools should be as secular as possible, and before teaching evolution and the big bang and such, the teacher should just say "We don't know if this was random or if there is a God or several Gods who're behind this, there is equal evidence for and against God's existance, which is none."
Archon said:I think throughout all the tribulations and conflicts of mankind that intelligent design is merely an elaborate religious conspiracy theory. I mean if this entire being of life as we know was a design GOD knows it was not intelligent. If I thought along the lines of ID I would think that we (humanity) must have been the prototype (alpha) version. :rofl
SKILMATIC said:This is your perception of homocapiens which you are one incase you didnt know. So therefore you are calling yourself an idiot.
SKILMATIC said:Your theory could be true.
SKILMATIC said:But the question is why did the intelligent being leave us to be and not scrap their project?
SKILMATIC said:It would be common sense for them to trash it and start all over wouldnt it?
No, I was insinuating that the idea of ID is of collective idiocy. For a guy that talks so much you're lacking in comprehension.
I mean if this entire being of life as we know was a design GOD knows it was not intelligent.
I didn't offer a theory but only my opinion.
What intelligent being?
Perhaps it would. So were you arguing for or against ID...
or did you just take this opportunity to go out of your way to harrass me as you so commonly do?
SKILMATIC said:Why would you insinuate your own idea? You said yourself that the ID designer might have designed us as a prototype becasue you think that this world is not intelligent. Or maybe I misread what you meant? Please explain.
Sounds pretty straight forward to me.
Which is your own personal theory is it not?
Whoever you want it to be. Its your own theoretic opinion is it not?
For or against it in what way?
No its not that I take the opportunity "to harrass you" as you say. But I take the opportunity to correct you or ask you very humanely. Did I not?
Archon said:So you think the words opinion and theory are one in the same? This is the basis of your argument? You really believe this? :rofl
If you need employment or therapy I may be able to help you. Seriously.
SKILMATIC said:Dd you not read my post? I said your opinion(meaning this opinion) is a theory in itself meaning you theororized a possibility of what happened. Does this make sense? And some could argue that opinions are theories. However, IMO not all opinios fit the definition of theories.
On the other hand, I am emplyed currently and I am too busy to help you out with therapy, but I am sure you may be able to help yourself. :2wave:
But then, when we are talking about a SCIENTIFIC THEORY, then we are not talking about an opinion, but rather about the end-product of all the research done through the application of the Scuientific Method.SKILMATIC said:And some could argue that opinions are theories.

End it on this forum or nationally? Fundies don't care what this poll says or what any poll says and as long as the media keeps on presenting this as if it were an actual argument the "debate" will continue.libertarian_knight said:Interesting, so, with the strong support of this poll, can we End the "Teach ID in Schools" Debate for now?

I suppose putting stickers on biology books is one step forward in "cleansing" America to them. Soon we will have stickers on Math and English books too. :lol: We will have to put stickers on everything that doesnt perfectly flow with the Bible.libertarian_knight said:I was thinking more, universally. I knwo the fundies don't care, but I mean, it should give them pause that the best they have to come up with about teach ID as science, are criticisms of evolution, and stickers on Biology books.
