taratata Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 A court in the US has ruled against the teaching of "intelligent design" alongside Darwin's theory of evolution. A group of parents in the Pennsylvania town of Dover had taken the school board to court for demanding biology classes not teach evolution as fact. The authorities wanted to introduce the idea that Earth's life was too complicated to have evolved on its own. Judge John Jones ruled the school board had violated the constitutional ban on teaching religion in public schools.BBC News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuronMaster Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 How silly, to think that something as intricate as this could have been created... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuronMaster Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Just one question I have about evolution. If things are supposed to improve, or evolve with time, why don't we improve as we get older instead of just keeling over and dying? I don't get it.

Gryph Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Because evolution occurs as a bunch of small steps over a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuronMaster Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Even if evolution is true, I'm much more content believing the fantasy that I was created by intelligence greater than my own. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 We have been evolving over the last few centuries.........just in minor ways that don't seem significant. There are some things we are not as susceptible to anymore that we were a thousand years ago, and I don't mean diseases that have been erradicated by the use of drugs.People live longer on average than they did just one hundred years ago, and this is not entirely thanks to medical practices. The average human lifespan is longer period. Plenty of other small insignificant things. You'll never be around to "witness" a major change, they don't occur as a major change.........thats called a mutation lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverlordMondo Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 You're entitled to your own opinion. Just remember that if it isn't the same as my opinion, your opinion is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actual proof of that. Anyways, intelligent design is flocking retarded. I'm amazed it was allowed into schools in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
