Evidence, please. The book isn't magic, remember, so why should its authors know the secrets of the universe? These are people who didn't know how many continents there are on this planet, remember.

Secrets to the universe? where does it say such things?

And if your semi-coherent ramblings are supposed to be support for the idea of teaching I.D. in schools (the topic) then try and explain how on earth they're supposed to do that.

It's easy... they speak honestly about what we know and don't know instead of filling children's heads with wild unreasonable theories. While I certainly won't draft a curriculum for you, I will go as far as saying it starts with "we really don't know how we got here but..."My point is, that we tolerate cherry picked theories in classrooms for no other reason than conforming to a scientific mindset. Why present one theory and not another? Why place more emphasis on one theory than the other? Why teach one theory and not the other? Why draft assignments based on the big bang theory and reject ID based ones?

Posts which waste others time and the limited posts we have on a thread are not welcome.

If you are unable to respond both politely and to the point then don't bother.

These warnings a trilogy will not be.

I couldn't think of anything better to say under the circumstances. He asked, I answered (with explanation) and yet he continues his song and dance. The posts speak for themselves.If you are building to suspend my account, then why bother playing games. It is quite obvious this board runs with party favorites, which I for one have no interest in whatsoever. So just get it over with already, you have my full blessing.You are also welcome to delete my account if that makes you feel stronger. The personal attachment is staggering.

It's because physicists present evidence for their theories, and all you present is one of the many ancient creation mythologies, apparently full of the magical stuff common in superstitious cultures which you yourself seem to describe as childish in a post above.

Oh please, how hard would it be to match the big bang theory with something like Creation? So every time we observe black black holes etc. we might as well throw a bit of alternate realm material into the pot for good measure. Even so.. the big bang theory doesn't stand on anything. Where did it come from and so and and so forth.

You need to present evidence for talking snakes if you want people to teach about them in science classes.

---

Why teach about talking snakes? Why not just be honest about it and stick to the basics? An intelligent being of force created life. Supported by(theory theory theory). Pretty basic stuff really.

Science requires evidence.

Right, and so waves and spacial bodies can be classified as evidence whereas creation and the results are.... Looks like your argument is flawed.

It would be perfectly O.K. if your book was presented as fiction in the English class, and kids could enjoy the magic as they do with their Harry Potter books.

Yes, well if only harry potter would of tackled the origin of life. Better yet, if only the contenders could be taken seriously. The current lineup is pathetic and caters mostly the more impressionable folk.

yay!
