The Theory of Evolution.
A Theory is an educated guess and Evolution is a term of observation, "we watched the play evolve." We don't know the plot so we make an educated guess about what is happening. So the T of E is So the T of E is Where should we begin in such a study?

In other words "if you want to pass school you'll have to guess the way we guess, and not do your own guessing."
That's what school is anyway I suppose. Edited by Colbard, : add

I made a comment on the basic English meaning of those words, not necessarily your version or a scientific term.
I know the scientific terms and how they are used. I was showing that in choosing those terms they have a misnomer if they are going by the plain text. In school we use the terms in their basic form first, so if the T of E is taught in schools it should come under better terms to describe the horrid thing. Edited by Colbard, : yo

Your red faced vein popping speeches does the evolution cult justice.
Are you sure you are not religiously in love with this thing called evolution?

"florid screaming twitching lunacy"
That's more like it, but belongs in good prose.

From what you have demonstrated, teaching evolution involves stomping on anything that contravenes the idea, and airing out your laundry in public.
Not good for schools at all. "Now children, today we are going to look at Evolution.

RAZD said, going independent research is one way to test the validity of your argument. Don't you agree?
Absolutely, but not too independent, it's a balance of self and others. I like your reply.

Sermonizing on Evolution is a contradiction.
You can present what one regards as fact, but to be emotive or moralistic maybe leaning towards the dark ages. We don't want to be preaching evolution. Making me out to be of the religious stock is untrue and unfair, since I have only been arguing the case that if the T of E is going to be taught, then it's basic name and philosophies should be scrutinized. Not all who oppose evolution are bias towards the church's agenda.

Children are not going to relish the long version of things, they'll summarize evolution down fairly quickly, to - "the world was filled with dinosaurs and we are all going to die like them, unless we become fighters"
Hence the popularity of the game themes based on fighting monsters, which takes up most of their home time.

You're a kind bloke
Then it's the independent v's the majority. What does history show about individuals who stand out from the majority? It' not a criterion for truth but often the case.

That's a good point, but the rabble includes the crackpots in the end, because they don't want to burn at the stake.

... you've given a whole lot of things to think and talk about, which for me would divert from the subject, so for the time being I'll just wait and see where this thread goes.
