Do You Believe in the Theory of Evolution?

[DavyBoy]

Theory of evolution? We probably don't have all the facts, and we may never know everything about the history of our species, planet and universe, but evolution is by far the best theory anyone has come up with, and is so highly regarded that most scientists seem to regard it as practically indisputable... and I know who I'm going to side with, an intelligent scientist looking for knowledge, or a Christian who is pissed off because this theory messes with their (somewhat extravagant) preconceived notion of how the world had to be created.

Evolution works for me.

So the things you don't believe in are nonsense.

No, I hold that nonsense is nonsense. That something can not be both true and contradictory. It is not my fault that the great majority of popular ideas are nonsense. That would be the fault of the masses for failing to think their ideas through.

Talking about nonsense--get over to the "Supreme Court Strikes Down Union Attempts to Restrict Free Speech" and educate Minor on economics, will you.

Unfortunately, I can't stand policy wonking. Being fundamentally against politics as a whole, discussion of the failure of government to protect liberty are - for me - granted and essentially irrelevant. Unions are fucking retarded, though. They don't even make sense in a free society. No one can will their labour to be more productive, the laws of economics are not open to our wishes. And labour is its own fiercest competition. Hell, unions (in reality) exist precisely to protect their members from competition.

Evolution and all who disagree with me are ignorant.

Unions came to be and exist to create an work agreement that both the employer and the employees can live with. One black mark to Fox for inciting off topic discussion.

A large majority of scientists who provide facts and research about evolution are infact christians, jews, or muslims. I am a catholic personally, and I believe we most definitely had some sort of evolution. You cannot ignore the facts of science, they arent facts because they MIGHT be right. They ARE correct. Most of this debate is 100% reliant on how you interpret the Bible or text of faith.

You most certainly can ignore them, even if you are very smart. Just ask Ben Stein...

Ben Stein is awesome.

Well, obviously you can ignore whatever you want, we do have free will afterall ^_^

My point of view is that anyone trying to argue scientific facts, until the fact is proved invalid, are wrong.
