There are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jews. They all believe something different to be the absolute truth.

There are dozens of different kinds of Christians who all think theirs is the way.

Heck, there are hundreds of ways to practice Catholicism.

Which one of the 3 billion religious believers has it right?

Either one lucky person out there has it all exactly right, or they’re all delusional.

Jeff provides us ample evidence for the latter.

All scientific hypothesis are labeled as “theories” because unlike religion, in Science there are no absolutes. The preponderance of the evidence shows that “theories” like gravity, the fact that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around and evolution are all true. Science never deals in absolutes since The scientific method is always open to being proven wrong about any given theory. Science is always in the process of correcting false assumptions and those corrections are always embraced since it brings one closer to the truth. Religion is different since everything in their holy books are the infallible word of a supernatural force and not open to interpretation or correction. Even when science proves that much of what religion belives is false, the religious deny it or adopt it with a rider that God created the science. Much like the Catholic Church has embraced evolution as a fact but with the caveat that God created the process.

Religion is predicated on keeping the faithful ignorant since knowledge is dangerous …precisely because it shows much of what it preaches as false. Faith is just a way for people to keep believeing in preposterous things when there’s absolutely no evidence for it.

By the way, atheist have cause more death, suffering and misery than the worst acts of all religions combined, world wars or other conflicts.

Do I need to remind you of the atrocities committed by atheist “eutopian” societies like the former Soviet Union, Cambodia, Vietnam, or North Korea? History has lost count on the number of people murdered by these atheist societies, but it’s been verified at least in the 20′s of millions if not more.

Live happily in your little worlds Dave and Rick.

Just like gravity.

But if people were exposed to the science of creation, they then could see “another viewpoint” and make their own decision in what to believe in. What is so wrong in that?

Funny how the left always rants about the right being so narrow minded and oppressive, yet their hypocrisy always surfaces and becomes glaringly apparent when faced with certain truths or challenges.

What is so dangerous about letting kids see another viewpoint? Who said anything about NOT teaching evolution. Just teach other viewpoints on the theory of creation. Talk about envoking crtical thinking. Let people make up their own mind.

Do I hear gaskets popping at the mere thought? GASP!

Because creationism isn’t science, it’s religion. It has no basis in fact. The ID crowd always revert to a “teach the controversy” argument which is the equivalent of teaching kids the stork brings babies in sex eduction class.

I sure would like to see even one instance where a child was”brought up on charges” for praying on school property.

Religion belongs in the churches where it can do the least harm.

and the lefties always use the 1st Amendment as a perfect example of religious intolerance….but for some reason, you all fail to comprehend that second part……”or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. What part of the sentence don’t you grasp or understand?

Tell me, without doing a search, where the term “separation of church and state” originated.

So, when some innocent school child is brough up on charges for praying on school property, or when the Ten Commandments are forced to be taken down from an ACLU witch-hunt, who is the intolerant one going to be Dave?
