Denying science in the classroom


Recommended Posts

Why do they do this? We all know for a fact that the universe sprang from a point of singularity which expanded greatly. And then conditions were just right on some planets for life to spark into existence. Somehow that first simple life form became able to reproduce. Then it evolved into mankind and all life on earth. It's fact!

 

Why don't we just look at experimental results. I mean, it's a well known fact that you can mix the right combination of chemicals together in a lab, and zap it with electricity, and a functioning, reproducing cell will result. And that cell will then reproduce, and through random mutations, form into generations of increasingly complex lifeforms until it culminates in the 1985 Chicago bears. Looks at the experimental results people! Scientists are smart!

 

 

 

/sarcasm :lol:

Scientists haven't reproduced the beginnings of organic life as you describe, but they have, with that Haldon(?) Accelerator reproduced some tiny successes with molecular configuration, so they're on the right track anyway.

Another reason for me to facepalm for my state. There is one legislature from Pennington county who believes those ancestry websites are a government conspiracy to collect your DNA and rob you blind if you have money to inherit.

I wonder, how do they have comparative DNA samples from your alleged ancestors in the 1st place, i.e., how can they know about your great great great grandpappy Chuck in Zimbabwe, when molecular science didn't exist for Chuck?
The DNA testing they do doesn't link you with specific people. It shows your ethnic origins.
I figured that. So they are kind of a rip off. You don't get to know about Chuck unless somebody wrote it down. My friend from India says they have ancestries written down specifically going back for millenia, like they are serious about it, so you can know your actual clan--if you are Indian.

She also believes vaccines cause autism. So she's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

No, no, no its much more realistic that one almighty, all-seeing, all-loving deity created the entire universe in 6 days. Decided to kick back with two of his greatest friends, himself and himself, for a cold beer on the seventh because he was tired from all the work. Decided the world needed some sort of species to look like him so he took clay and dirt to make this being. But that wasnt good enough, this really stupid god-like being needed another stupid god-like being with longer hair. So this deity took the 13th rib from the first stupid god-like being and created the long hair god-like being.

 

But this deity wanted to keep these two god-like being from being critical and free thinkers. It loved the fact they were stupid as hell and couldnt question their existence. But he wanted to test them so he created an apple and said dont eat this. But because these stupid god-like beings are not actually god, and god actually messed up when creating them on accident, they felt intrigued by this apple. Then a talking snake showed up out of nowhere and told them to eat the apple. They didnt understand what this creature even was or that these creatures dont talk, so these two stupid god-like beings were confused and ate the apple. They then became really embarrassed because neither of them had clothes on, even though clothes werent even a thing yet. And the deity told them well now that you are smarter, I cant help you anymore and if you mess up I will torture you for eternity in a pit of fire.

 

Couple thousand years went by, including a flood that killed every god-like person, now called sinners, and every animal except for two on Earth because this deity wanted to start over. Two kangaroos traveled thousands of miles to get on this boat. Two penguins from Antartica did the same thing. It was quite remarkable actually. So after this deity killed everyone to start over he decided to make a loophole for his mistake, so he sacrificed himself to himself and everyone was saved, except for the folks that were born too early in history, they are being tortured for eternity. Yay! This is way more realistic than your stupid theory!

I found out today that vaccines cause Alzheimer's.

 

I guess I should tell that to all my dead female relatives who had Alzheimer's who grew up before vaccines were widely used.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL, fab!!! Did you know that Noah invented the Pooper Scooper?

 

One other thing, why did Gawd give Eve a va-JJ?

 

(Ans: so Adam would talk to her...OUCH!)

The DNA testing they do doesn't link you with specific people. It shows your ethnic origins.

 

There are a couple different versions (I think there are three or four solid ones now) looking at different markers that do some ties to specific people.

 

We just did all the research on this - my dad and I took the one that looks at ethnic origins but there are others. This will also be able to look at mine and correlate it to others who have taken the test, so if anyone else paid the $80 it will align me to my actual relatives as well. We are all in a database moving forward.

 

It's really interesting what they're able to do now - sadly, much of it is only with the male markers, so better have a brother. :-(

I read this thread and am fascinated.

 

I am fascinated because in the "Republican Utopia" thread I stated a bunch of things, such as Republicans wanting to teach creationism in schools, and the "consensus" seemed to be that I was being "too extreme."

 

And yet, here we are, in another, completely separate thread, discussing actual proof of how the "Republican Utopia" ala the absurd, religious based, laws currently in various state legislatures, are gaining more steam and are almost guaranteed to pass and become law.

 

Given what I have said, and how literally everything I said in the "Utopia" thread is being done by Republicans, in various states across the US...but I'm the one who's extreme.

 

Seems 100% legit.

 

:LOLtartar

 

Anyway, carry on.

What you said was that a majority of Republicans supported a majority of the 12 points you made. Further, your point wasn't as simple as fighting for creationism to be taught, but was much more dramatic:

 

 

 

 

* Abolish science as a subject taught in schools and completely forbid teaching evolution.

To the bold. You do have a brother, a Big Brother, and he has the data in your data base. He goes by many names, but most recently by the alias of AI.
