Scientists and their crazy "theories". Like that one, the "Theory of Relativity," we all know that one is false.
At least it's called the THEORY of Relativity and taught as that, unlike Evolution...It's not called the theory it is.
Maybe they're both real to some point..At least I'm open minded...
Can't say the same for you Adam.

I don't know where you went to school, but it was taught as a theory to me. Creationism was taught as the absolute in my school system. A catholic school system.
As for Adams ability to be open minded, truths mean something to him. He holds his own belief system, not one that was taught to him; rather one he developed. It might serve some other people to follow the same principle to reach their own conclusions, rather than the ones they've been taught to believe.
And those who argue that creationism is the way, why not be open minded yourselves and call it the "theory of creationism" when it's being taught in denominational schools or by a parent or pastor?

If the entire world creates their own belief system, then they have to choose princples they've been taught.

Well in my school, it was evolution that was taught as fact. It was a public school...So...Maybe both should be taught as a theory and let the students make up their own minds...But I wasn't talking about evolution. I was talking about Relativity when I mentioned Adam...lol...
OH...Hello Echu...

I really doens't matter where you go to school, because either way they are both theories.

How does evolution explain the origin of any of newton's laws, or the law or gravity or the theory of relativity?
Congratulations on missing the point entirely. The post to which you are refering is an illustration of the gross misunderstanding of the term "theory" as it applies to science made by PrinceofBlades, debbiejoe, yourself, and countless others. Contrary to your understanding, a theory is not simply a speculation. In science, a theory is "a set of explanitory statements or principles devised to explain or make predictions about natural phenomena that has been repeatedly tested and the results replicated."

I think you missed the point....I am asking you HOW does evolution explain these laws, like newton's or the law of gravity?
HOW does evolution explain their existence?
No one stated that evolution explains relativity, that is why they are separate theories; "Evolution" explains a paticular phenomena, and "relativity" another. The point I was making is that relativity is also "just a theory" but this does not mean that gravity is not real and that things will start to rise tomorrow.

Are you somebodies parrot? I don't want to talk about apples.....
You always make that same statement...Can't we at least change it to another fruit?

There is no sense in rephrasing a statement and posting it as my own, when I can directly quote the author who said it best the first time.
Furthermore, I will cease posting that quote when it ceases to be relevant.

That's not possible in a blossoming theocracy. When Jesus is removed from the equation, then...and only then...will the opprotunity of the
'theory of christianity" be possible. As it is, we have a social system that is beholdent to the conservative right, and the hand it has up the Presidents ass.
Furthermore Debbie, there will never be a "theory of christianity" and an "opprotunity to let the students decide for themselves". Why? Because if people were allowed to think for themselves, no one would choose to believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or Jesus. It's no wonder the American public has never been given that luxury.
