Public. Charter, really. We have the option of picking our students (the majority are extremely intelligent, which is why this was so shocking to me.)

Interesting....I have never read anything on Aristotle, Plato or etc and is one of the reasons why I said "my personal faith".

But I would have to question the timeline; there was 1,200 (?) years between Genesis and Plato, that's a long time and I would still be amazed that any Philosopher back then had enough insight to consider the big-bang theory. But I very well could be wrong.

What we now call adaptation is in fact evolution. The word evolution has been bastardized to most associating Darwinism and species transition movements from the 1960’s (Much like the global warming movements there witnessing today.).
Arguments or scientific proof was not a factor as it was the academic institutions the weathermen disbanded into as “The New Young Socialist Democratic Party“. As with the decertifying of meteorologists and disassociations of programming, articles, academic publishing’s ,logic and science we see occurring with global warming, Darwinism and other antichristian movements also took opposing argument out of the arena and only allow you to see what they deem constructive to there political goals.
As with global warming they condition you to see opposition as an enemy or side to be defeated instead of heard. There hate and ridiculing titles expose them for what and who they are.

Re: Evolution: Conflict in the Classroom

Your paranoid ramblings make no sense.

Maybe you should try joining us in the 21st century. We have cool things like science!

I daresay Darwin wasn't trying to advance a communist, anti-Christian agenda.

C'mon, sharpen up. No one's interested in all that nonsense. The first question was: How do atoms last only a few thousand years?

The majority of science or anything that would contradict these movements are kept out of the arena.

Weird. Just weird.
It only seems weird to moonbats coming out of there closets for the first time into the real world (Which is a strange and unfamiliar place to them *snicker*.).

You guys are really lacking in the “anecdote” dept., you can’t attack common knowledge to those not as blind as you.
People look different and it didn’t take hundreds of millions of years:

Re: Evolution: Conflict in the Classroom

You're talking about the "real world," Bob? You're still stuck in 1967 with the Weathermen.

What does a picture of Lincoln have to do with a faked picture of Clinton? Superficial changes are likely a result of advances in medical care and sanitation.

Re: Evolution: Conflict in the Classroom

That's a new one. The Earth is 6000 years old because Clinton doesn't look like Lincoln.... astonishing.

Ok, so you may be way beyond Chang Wufei's experiences in American classrooms. Who cares. Science being overtaken by moonbat leftist post-Nam wacko's, by Spanish inquisitors or Fred Phelp'ish idiots of future generations makes no difference as to the factual explanation of why atoms only last a few thousand years. It should be able to stand on the pure unadultered facts of the phenonemon that you say it is. So, what are the facts of that statement? Why do atoms last no longer than a few thousand years?

When you've explained that in a way that frees it from all the human and subjective intentions mentioned above but ties it to factual data alone then we may move on to the other questions that your previous posts raised (and I promise that we can skip the question about your sanity - that one may or may not be off topic, depending if you can pull off rational answers to the rest of the questions).
