Should we teach both evolution and religion in school?

Having read your posts on other threads I too am coming round to the idea that you are a prankster (a "Poe", as we call it). No-one can be so thoroughly stupid about all the subjects that you're wrong about. I think you're just winding us up.

man i hate acronyms. is Poe an acronym (POE?) and what does it mean?

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe%27s_Law

Named after Nathan Poe over at Christian forums who once quiped that it is impossible to tell the difference between a serious fundamentalist (or conservative) and someone doing a parody of a fundamentalist because fundamentalists say the stupidest things. The Landover Baptist site is a good example.

thanks and thank you Panda, I honestly thought it was an acronym. I have been a Poe before, Poe's law is accurate, no one can tell especially the condescending rage-liberals (they usually like to title themselves as intellectual).Fundamentalists definitely put the Mental in fundamental.I think the Landover Baptists are not Poes, When I lived in Missouri I went to a landover baptist church for a couple months, and they are serious about that weird stuff.anyway I don't want to stray to far from the topic, I just cant understand how anyone would think teaching religion in public school would make much of any sense. I went to Catholic school, and we did have religion but it was a separate class (ie I had biology in the 2nd period and Religion in the 5th period, they never came up in the same class, and they really didn't contradict each other, but then again we have Jesuits so I could be spoiled.) Now I did take a world religions class at the university (which was public), but it was very nuts and bolts and covered the hows and whys of the major religions based on climate and the economies.

Sure you aren't confusing it with Westboro Baptist Church? Landover is meant to be based out of the fictional town of Freehold, Iowa.

shit.....LOLyou are right. I was totally confused, I'm getting another coffee.I was thinking of Landmark Baptist (so crazy the "normal" baptists laugh about them).wow i feel dumber than usual.

Somebody doesn't know what uniformatism is.Hint: the term was originated by Lyell (1830), who applied it to a concept expounded by Hutton (1788). It has do do with geology.Geology = study of the planet earth
Geologist = One who does or paticipates in any of the geological sciencesUniformatism is the logic and method by which geologists attempt to reconstruct the past. It goes like this: "The present is the key to the past".Note that this includes catastrophies.Emmanuel Velikovsky= Psychiatrist. Nothing to do with geologyuniformitarian astrophysicist Edited by Pressie, : Changed the sentence order

Creationism is not science. For creationists to put the word "science" after the word "creation" just to pretend that it is science, still doesn't make it science. It remains religion.They can fool some people by using that tactic, but that haven't fooled the scientific community, which includes a lot of religious people.And yes, if you want creationism taught in science classes, you are a zealot.

Don't feel bad, Arty: when I first found the Landover Baptist site I immediately registered to liberal-rage and made several pompous post about how wrong it is to keep African children as house pets...Then I thought: 'hang on, I'm being SO trolled'. Edited by Larni, : Clarification

When i read my first creationists post i thought he was a troll to.

I have to say the site is bloody funny.They use the Bible really well to justify thier points.

I can never tell with Americans, i learned my lesson with the first creationist i saw on the internet, this is a troll site right?
