The Dangers Of Creationism In Education

Started by Evil Dead14 pages

Look dude!

Animals that are results of inbreeding are bound to fail due to certain defects that develop in them. This is not a good example of Evolution because it refers to failures.

The animals that are born perfect remain perfect through-out their life spans on the Earth.

that's just the most retarded thing I have ever read. If a mutant gene(s) resulting in an advantage to an animal occurs (like making it larger to hunt larger animals, making it fur a different color for better camoflauge to evade predators, or thicker fur to better survive cold climates) and is imbred.......it is more likely that the decendants of those animals will survive to pass their genes along to the next generation. It is in no way whatsoever a defect or hinderance to the animal.

seriously kid........what education do you have on this subject? I, like Shaky, am surmising that you have cut and pasted your ideas together from bits and pieces of what you could remember from random documentaries you have seen on the Discovery Channel. I've seen nothing from you to indicate any knowledge of anything regarding any field of scientific study in this thread.......furthermore, I've seen plenty of statements ranging from outright ridiculous to factually misunderstood. You have demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge and understanding of the subject at hand.

funny Shaky......classes....college......I'm guessing he may have finished high school.....maybe.......only required to take minimal science courses offered in the ciriculum which only require a D to pass leading to graduation. Maybe.

I watch Discovery Channel all the time, but I must have missed those shows he watched 😉

At best: probably home schooled. 😉

Did you watch the shows with a creationist agenda in mind?

I watch them all, I like to know both sides of a debate.

[b]Let me give you a new example: Take the case of Whaleshark. This creature is 50% Whale and 50% Shark. Now why does the Whaleshark stays Whaleshark? Why it does not slowly evolves in to a full Shark or a full Whale?

Do you think that a Shark mated with a Whale to form this thing?

😆 You claim to have taken a class on evolution yet your describing an animal as being 50% mammal and 50% fish?

I wonder how he's going to explain the genetic similarities between Humans and Neandertals fear.

^ 😆 I missed that one.hysterical

Yeah and Giraffes come from a cross between Camels and Leopards just because they're called Camelopardalis.

If you want to make yourself look poorly informed or desperate go elsewhere.

A whale shark is called a whale shark because it is the largest of the species and has nothing to do with it being part of a whale 😉

And since you like Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_shark

"The species was first identified in April 1828 following the harpooning of a 4.6 metre (15.1 ft) specimen in Table Bay, South Africa. It was described the following year by Andrew Smith, a military doctor associated with British troops stationed in Cape Town. He proceeded to publish a more detailed description of the species in 1849. The name "whale shark" comes from the fish's physiology; that is, a shark as large as a whale that shares a similar filter feeder eating mode."

the THEORY of Evolution is a bigger threat, after all its just a theory.

The facts actually show that certain life forms actually suddenly appeared. They didn´t just decide to change from a fish to a dog because they liked chasing cats. Ok survival of the fittest is a valid point, but the creature stays the same, take dogs for example. A black butterfly will survive longer in a dark forest, so more black butterfly's are born there.

If humans evolved from apes then why are there apes still running around, did they "forget" to change?

Evoution isn't a theory it's a fact. Creationism on the other hand, is made up. I stick by my choice thankyou.

A whale shark is not half-whale half-shark. You're an idiot and a waste of time. Whales are mammals you moronic moron among morons.

I know that it is a fish but it's appearance is similar to that of a whale.

And I know that whales are mammals! You dolt!

You do not need to tell me the basics of science. Dumbshits! 🙄

I know it's a shark. I was talking about it's apperance. It looks 50% Shark and 50% Whale.

Then answer my question, please. How old is the Earth?

Around 4.5 Billion Years Old.

-sigh-

your previous statements are already posted for all to read, enjoy and laugh at you. By now stating the exact opposite after being presented with the correct information you previously were not privy to.......makes you look rather pathetic.

I wasn't asking you. 🙄 But you still get a gold star. 😉

More then a billion years old.

The oldest rocks found on Earth are more then 3.8 billion years old.

Scientists however suggest that the Earth is about 4.5 Billion old. Several dating methods settle on this age.

Do I have to baby-feed you with proper words in every sentence?

It is a matter of common sense that when we are talking about a Shark, we are refering to a fish. My previous comment is aimed at the appearance of that fish.

Whaleshark is an excellent example of indicating the fact that the life-forms can often share similarities in terms of appearances but it does not means that they are related to each other or belong to same genus.

If you believe that the Earth is 4.5 Billion years old, then how can you believe in the Creationism? In order to believe in Creationism, you have to believe in the bible, and the bible says that the Earth is between 6 and 7 thousand years old.

it doesn't appear so......

Take the case of Whaleshark. This creature is 50% Whale and 50% Shark.

furthered by....

Now why does the Whaleshark stays Whaleshark? Why it does not slowly evolves in to a full Shark or a full Whale?

suggesting that since the animal is half fish/half mammal it must have been created from nothingness by god instead of evolving from the ancestoral tree of either fish or mammals........

you got busted kid. suck it up, quit crying. we all know where we all stand now....

So we are getting into calling me names, way to go. As for you post you said nothing about appearance but that it was 50/50 and again nothing about looks. We have to take what you have written and no where in your post mentioned anything about "it looks like a whale" and even in that you are incorrect. It is only called a whale because of its size and eating habits I don't think even a 3rd grader would confuse that fish with a whale.

Also what is with all the editing on your post, do you write something and then realize that it is BS and need to change it?
