  1. I didn't even see this post. The reason it's taught is so we all don't come out as stupid as you. God damn you're an idiot. I mean, seriously. You're flocking stupid. This kind of ignorance just baffles me. I'm honestly shaking my head in surprise and disgust. EDIT: And yes, I know this is blatent trolling but I really don't care.
  2. Those are one guy's biased interpretations of data. If they had any merit then those would actually be published in a peer reviewed journal which they have not. Contrary to most Creationist belief, scientists are not part of a mafia trying to suppress creationism. Many Christians scientists who believe in evolution also have faith. They are able to separate their faith from science and allow them to coexist peacefully. Evolutionists (I can't believe I'm actually using this term) currently think that this is the best theory. It is not considered fact. It should not be taught as fact. If it is then it's the teachers' problem for not knowing the difference. I think we can all agree that our schools do no have qualified teachers for most subjects. Also, you seem to be throwing the word theory around like it's something trivial. A scientific theory is not a trivial thing. It is "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena. A scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory." It is extremely hard for something to be considered a theory. Why would scientists take in consideration something that barely has any evidence whatsoever besides religious texts? Well, one side has tons of evidence while the other doesn't. But hey, if creationist scientists come up with something that passes the scientific method and peer review then more power to them. Because one is science and the other isn't. Simply using scientific language and citing scientific references doesn't make something actual science. It just makes it an educated guess or hypothesis. Now what that guy has to do is test and do rigorous studies on his hypothesis. Then maybe they'll have something. I actually went to Catholic school and we didn't learn creationism. But that's because the Catholic church has come to terms that Genesis is a metaphor rather than a strict interpretation. John Paul II wasn't that bad of a pope. Now I know that there are more Christians than just Catholics but Creationists are only a tiny minority of the rest of the Christians. Well, whose fault is it that not all Christians can afford private school? The parents, not the schools or the government. The government taxes you and disburses that tax money to all programs. You don't get billed for a specific program. That's how the tax system works. It's the father's priority to instill his kids' belief in God, not the schools. If Little Johnny's belief is deteriorated by the schools then the parents aren't doing their job. Well the government isn't giving one part of the theory. They arne't giving much of either side. The public school system in most areas is a failure so outside of a little introduction there isn't much teaching going on. But in a science class only principles that have scientific basis and methods should be taught. Let Creationists do their share of testing and stuff then it can be included in science text books. Till then, I'm sorry but it has no place in a science class. Educated parents usually produce educated children. Most parents are stupid. Most people are stupid. But still, a good parent will know how to give a well rounded education. But I will end it with this, this is nothing but useless bickering. You won't change my mind and I won't change yours. I don't have the energy or time to devote to such posts any more. I guess we can agree to disagree now.
  3. I didn't even know it was out yet. I'm going to wait for a bunch of reviews. I got burned badly with Black and White 1. I don't want to make that same mistake agian.
  4. that didn't make much sense <{POST_SNAPBACK}> EDIT: Ah crap, I added an extra contraction. Fixed. You got me once. Also merged the sentences so the thought flows better.
  5. The whole debate is moot because public institution will never affirm creationism, especially on the federal level. Any such education of "alternative thinking" can be persued on their yahoo parents own time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What ID is trying to do is bypass that which I find ridiculous because I have no idea how else they can explain it.
  6. Creationism is not science not because it believes in God, rather it is not science because it does not use the scientific method. Science is a method of understanding the world by making empirical observations, proposing hypotheses to explain those observations, and testing those hypotheses. Testing is the most important part of science. You see, you come from the viewpoint that evolution and scientists try to disprove God and want to "take God out of the equation." That is incorrect. Scientists don't even consider God in their work because that would be a bias. I know many scientists who are religious yet believe in evolution. Hell, the director of the Human Genome Project is a devout Christian yet he spoke against the ID movement beacuse it is not science. See, I have no problem with creationism. People can believe it if they want to but what irritates me is when people try to pass it off as science.
  7. Actually, I do believe in Intelligent Design. I believe that we were created by aliens as a form of entertainment. We're like the UPN of the galaxy. Pure garbage and I'm just waiting for us to be cancelled.
  8. It should not taught be in a science class room because it is not science. Simply coming up with an alternative viewpoint does not give it enough merit to be put in a science class room. There are other venues to introduce and discuss ID.
  9. It's ok to link to it. We report news on it whenever there is some. Thanks for this.
  10. I posted it once in the Revolution controller thread. Apparantly no one else reads.
  11. Thanks for helping him out IQ! Problem solved. ^______________________________________________________________^
  12. Pay no attention to STUFF's post. It's just a bunch of close minded stereotypes that are wrong. I know plenty of people of all races who play all types of games. The only accepeted stereotype is Koreans and MMORPGs and StarCraft. kekekekekeke ^___^
  13. AFAIK = As Far As I Know I don't know exactly why you can't do it but I'll hazard a guess that it's a problem with how to boot each of the games.
  14. You're right. The movie doesn't really follow the game too much. And Drake, if there was a book to understand the Doom plot then it would such a ripoff. You can fit it all on a leaflet. You might be talking about Masters of Doom which is a behind the scenes look at id.
  15. I like the PC version of this emulator. STELLAAAA!!!! STEELLLAAAAA!!!
  16. Maybe the rumored Gameboy sequel will have something like that. Probably not though since the Gamecube is pretty flocking powerful. Look at RE4 for example. That game looks HOT.
  17. The source code is available at the website so you can check that out.
  18. Auto Assault will be coming out sometime soon I think. I was in the beta for that and it was pretty fun. Mondo mentioned City of Heroes and City of Villains (this one isn't out yet) and those are supposedly really fun.
  19. Multiplayer Halo is fun when I play it with friends. I had such a horrible time playing it on XBOX Live...wow it was bad. I thought Counter-Strike players were the worst. I was wrong.
  20. Yes but I've never used it. But that's because I don't use newsgroups.
