quote:
[renumbered]
1) One Family Tree unites all of life and
2) Species change through time and place
Of these two points of evolution, Dr. Roughgarden makes two claims.
3) These two ideas must be taught in every science curriculum.
4) Neither of these ideas are directly in conflict with the Bible.
I tend to agree with this sentiment. Any objectors?
1. God man man in his own image, so man is unique. Point number one undermines this truth from the bible.
2. No species changes outside the genetic and viral programs that God designed. The genetic program is variable by design.
3. We don't want evolutionists dictating to us. That's why we homeschool our kids. We don't want our taxes spent on evolutionary research either. That's just a recipie for enslavement to a totalitarian elite and newspeak. Long live the empire! Learn what you want, teach what you want, but don't involve us or our hard earned money.
4. They most certainly contradict the bible. The bible charges parents with the responsibiltiy of teaching God's commandments to children. That means the Sabbath, which is the sign that God created the world in six days.
5. What ought to be taught is biblical chronology as in "torah" and "times", because the who difference between evolutionists and creations boils down to "time". Biblical chronology stands on its own, without contradiction, and is self verifying (like with prophecies that come true on time). It demonstrates the sheer nonsense of the evolutionary philosophy.
