Evolution: a red herring?

And Creos always seem to forget that a scientific theory is far more than a wild-ass guess in the dark! SLAVERY!?!? You blame evolution for slavery!? I bet all those southern slave-owners had coppies of The Origin in each of their studies, no? They do it because as far as they are concerned, the facts and evidence have pointed them to that conclusion. If evolution IS wrong and scientists haven't been doing it right, I assure you, it has not been an intentional and malicious attack on God and religion. We could conclude that it were incorrect, as has been the case with scientific theories in the past. They are altered, nudged, changed a little, and sometimes just thrown out all together. I would like to point out, however, that the events you postulate have yet to occur .J0N

Perhaps that is true, but it all makes MUCH MORE sense when evolution is taught. Evolution helps to tie up all the loose ends, answer all the whys and give meaning to the material. And what is productive about you starting a thread and only allowing fellow Creos (who will already agree with you) to reply? If it's productive conversation that you want, then you must allow all viewpoints. If not, then you should've really just stayed in bed this morning J0N

Keep in mind that the evidence for a Sun-centred planetary system has been around for just as long. So has the evidence in support of the theory of gravity (notice, that's a theory, wanna reject that too whilst you're at it?). In fact, the evidence for everything we ever will know is sitting out there right now, it has been for a long time, and hopefully will be for a long time after now. Just because we have not discovered it YET, does not mean that when we DO discover it, it will be invalid, just because we missed it durring the first 20,000+ some odd years of our life on this planet. Unless you are a member of the KKK, I cannot think of a single person who would use evolutionary theory as a means to justify racial descrimination or to justify a "notion that one race is in any way superior to another." People who claim these things always use the Bible and the word of God to back up their blindly-made, hatefull assertions.In fact, evolution shows us that one race isn't all that different from another. I know white/black seems a big difference on the outside, but when you rip it all away and look at the genetics underneath, it is really just the same old same old sequence of TGCA... Yes, I most certainly would!J0N
