More “intelligent” design

It still goes on.

When will people put in their minds that religion does not belong in a science class, and that not being satisfied with religion classes and having to introduce it in science classes as well, disguised as a science, is cowardly and dishonest?

And what does it say about religious people, by the way? I thought lying, and dishonesty in general, were sins…

    I don’t believe they are trying to “sneek” it in. They are simply now, as they have always done, trying to push the teaching of religious belief in schools. But you are right, it doesn’t belong in a science class, but of course I have issues with much that IS tought in science class…

    Well, if you lie for the lord, it’s not a sin, it could even be a virtue.

    For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner? (Rom. 3:7)

    We should always be disposed to believe that which appears to us to be white is really black, if the hierarchy of the church so decides. (St. Ignatius de Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus)

    What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church … a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them. (Martin Luther)

    Sorry, but I find that line of thought disgusting. A god who’d like anything like that would be an evil god. I wouldn’t follow an evil god even if I was 100% sure he existed. I’d rather burn in some hell than submit to such a monster.

    And your reply speaks a lot about believers, too. What’s next, killing in the name of God isn’t a sin either?

    Hmm, then again, your quotes are so… absurd, that you may be playing devil’s advocate. I wonder…

    My question is: if they want it stated in textbooks that evolution is a theory, why don’t they have the same thing printed in textbooks about intellegent design?

    Oh, do find it disgusting. I am appalled by the lack of honesty by religionists when faced with criticisms from outside their fold.

    “What’s next, killing in the name of God isn’t a sin either?”

    Are you serious? Do you want me to cite chapter and verse for this?

    No, that would be a lot of work, there are too many examples. :)

    I suppose no will read this since it is almost a year old but ill say something just in case someone does.

    Evolution is not proven science it is a theory with many holes and inconsistencies. Although its proported as proven fact it is far from it. There is no evidence of Macroevolution, no transitionary species at all. Microevolution, changes within a kind, is not counter creationary at all and is probably the only component of evolution that has been obsereved and can be considered science. It amazes me that a theory riddled with anomlies as serious as Evolution has been accepted as truth.

    Just bopping through.

    Palmer, do you have any knowledge of science at all?
