OHIO SCHOOL BOARD NEW ASSAULT ON TEACHING OF EVOLUTION

[Elspode]

I've been having a bad run of offending Christians who walk their talk and have sense. No offense intended toward Bruce or Dar or anyone else who clearly understand their own religion, but whom I have clearly rankled a couple of times here lately.

My commentary is more directed at those who are actively trying to make Science a second hand citizen in the Truth game. If having enough power to declare your beliefs Truth in the absence of evidence becomes the way of things, then God help us all.

I thought that having a belief in something = faith...and faith is having belief in things unseen?

Absolutely. So...why, if they have so much faith, do they feel compelled to declare that in which they have faith to be Absolute Truth?

I can only speak for myself, but you're fulla shit. You haven't rankled a hair on my chinny chin chin.:p

What you post is valid just because it's your view. It's doubly valid because there are many people that share that view...I know...I've heard 'em.

I post my take on things and sometimes I post other peoples takes that I've heard but haven't been presented.
It's important that we look at as many views as we can muster up here, because you can't have too many ingredients when you try to create a recipe you're happy with. After all, isn't the bottom line what works for you and your chosen blue blankie?

You add a valuable perspective to our mini-wikipedia and I apologize if I haven't made myself clear. Everybody knows Elspode Rocks.
