Creationism and politics
   
And why evolution is such a tough nut to crack...

Insert any of the three major revelatory religions here...and one of the dogmas is that humans were especially created, exist above nature and chiefly are not part of it.

Now this is a cute one...but politically it is dangerous. Realize that this world view also implies that god will never let humanity go extinct. Why creationists and climactic change deniers are indeed connected.

I make fun of these people, but realize they are also dangerous.

All that copying and pasting is dangerous for your wrist.

I'm still waiting for the THEORY of evolution to be proved.  No direct link between two species has been found yet.

I enjoy watching fools on Skin's island act as though they have the capacity to reason as much as the next person here at CC, but nadin's trying too hard.

Climactic? This is another word nutcase nadin picked up at a google link in the past few days. She's used it over and over, and improperly every single time. The word she thinks she's using is "climatic", pertaining to the climate. She picked it up when she googled something about global warming. I don't know what she was "readying".

Instead, over and over, she's made a fool of herself (again), by writing "climactic", which means something associated with a climax. That is something that's on nutcase nadin's mind all the time, but hasn't happened in decades.

I make fun of her, because even by DUmp standards she's such a pathetic fool.

Doesn't DUmmie Land have a spell checker? Or, at the very least, a poor speller can use Firefox.

Obviously Nads is still using technology from circa 1996.

socialist dogma: People of faith are a threat...because they do not worship the state.

It wouldn't save her on that one, she's using a real word but in the wrong way.

[Freeper]

I'm not religious, however I can't understand this constant need of the DUmmies to badmouth those who believe in God.
Actually I take that back I do understand why they hate it when people believe in a higher power, it's the same thinking the old Soviet Union had, where they knew if the state is your god, then you will never question the state, but if you believe in a higher power and think that humans are somehow special, that they may use that belief to advocate freedom.

How exactly are creationists dangerous, Nadimwit?  Dangerous only because they also believe in morals?  That is really the bottom line with fringe lunatics like Nadimwit.  They cannot stand the thought of accountability or responsibility to someone other than themselves.

[DumbAss Tanker]

They worship a power higher than The Google.  As if that were possible...

Thinking back on it, most of Nadin's gaffs couldn't be detected by a spell checker.

I'm still waiting for the evolution loving liberals to explain why their welfare sucking asses shouldn't be driven into extinction.

Dead on, and H5.

I'm not a creationist, I'm also not an evolutionist.  I believe God created everything, I also believe Charles Darwin was on to something very big (and for those who don't know, he was a devout Christian).  I like to think that I'll get all my questions answered when I get to Heaven. 

[Bodadh]

Who is this woman? Seriously. Does she have a job? Hell, does she even have any real life friends? Everyday she had to pontificate on stuff that is obviously over her head. It is one thing to have a opinion but this dingbat is starting to remind me of the guy from the Princess Bride.

Vizzini: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
Man in Black: You're that smart?
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.

I used to kind of feel sorry for her because I thought she might just be bored and lonely but I am starting to think she has a real disorder.

[DumbAss Tanker]

It (almost) goes without saying that she would be especially thrilled if that disorder could be known forevermore as "Nadinbrzezinski Syndrome."

[Erasmus]

That's pretty much my line of thinking.  I think the theory of evolution is on the right track, though our current understanding of it is sorely overstated by scientists.  Paleontologists will tell you that the fossil record simply doesn't tell the evolutionary tale that biologists are telling.  To me, it's much more ingenius of God to create self-replicating evolving species than to go around creating every single species separately, but that's just my opinion.

David Berlinski has a good series on You Tube questioning the current theory of evolution.  It's hillarious.  Berlinski isn't a creationist per se, either.

I'm very much a creationist.  I just don't think I understand the timescale of God any more than an ant could understand the timescale of a Galapagos turtle.  I also don't think that because something of the mechanism used to do something else is understood that it negates the existence of a creator.

I'm pretty sure it'll be in the DSM-V coming out soon.

I was just readying about that.
