Re: More fuel to the Psychoreligionology fire
Seems pretty straigth forward. Evolution theory is just that, a theory. And there is as much to be said for as against evolution.
Right now we've come to a situation is science where evolution theory is like the microsoft windows of research. you need to pose your ideas within the framework of evolution, anything else is taboo. This stops progress, especially because this fundamental evolution theory is more shakey than most people realize. Allowing room for other ideasa might be the way to achieve progress, and maybe finally answer the question of how it all started. |

"Psychoreligionology" is my new favorite word.

No you can't. Does the word horizon mean anything to you?

You, too, must be ****ting me.
We're not 100% sure on how the moon got to be where it is. Not every crater on its surface is accounted for. Paul Bunyan obviously put it there. I want that taught to your kids. In school. ~D edit: self-censoring |

Re: More fuel to the Psychoreligionology fire
I am not a biogeneticist. I just happen to have a good friend who is.
After more than a few long nights drinking beer and taking in what he has to say on the subject, I'm pretty sure I'm right in stating that anyone who thinks that "evolution is just a theory" means "any other idea is just as good" is either intentionally or ignorantly misunderstanding how the term theory is used within the field. Evolution is, as far as modern science can tell, a fact. It's been proven in laboratory studies, it's been documented in the field. Not accepting evolution as the mechanism for biological differntiation can not be regarded as the act of an intellectually honest person. |

Re: More fuel to the Psychoreligionology fire
*sigh*
Only in America.... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] It's always fascinating to read a foreign columnist or statesman talk about this issue. If someone were to raise this question in Germany, France, Italy, Great Britain, or any other civilized country on earth, they'd be laughed out of town. Yet here, in the U.S., there is still "debate" about whether evolution (a proven process observed many times over!!!) is a "theory".... Sheesh.... Cris |
