But i would have to agree with Spencer Reesman Lets get the bullshit out of schools (ID) and teach only what we can prove (Evolution). And ive never heard anyone talk about mother nature like a god, it just a way of saying nature provides stuff for people life mother do. Why cant you at least find out what Evolution is about before you deniy it. Funny how Evolution has evidence backing up.

Because Creationism is a faith too. So fuck off. And you, Sean, already sent in your hate mail. You had your say. So shut up.

I refer you to "Shattering the Myth of Darwinism" by Richard Milton. While one may correctly say that evolution is a fraud, that is not to say that that same person "believes in" Creation as it is literally set forth in Genesis. The answer is: We don't know where we came from. Let's find out. Evolution is as much, if not more, of an irrational religion than what any Creationist spouts. Evolution is a fraud.

I do need to de-lurk now so I can ask what exactly was the content of Alexander F. C. Webster's Ph D. It certainly wasn't science or philosophy and the poor literary standard precludes English (despite using the word "jejune" which is the sort of pretentious word second-rate English Literature graduates like to use). I'm beginning to think that possibly it was basket-weaving. Something that occupies the hands but doesn't really engage the brain too much. Probably from one of those backwater "Universities" in the more Southerly regions where all the staff are related to the students and there are some interesting genetic principles on display... Or perhaps he bought it for $35 and a letter detailing his "life experience"! As a thoroughgoing skeptic myself I’ve enjoyed lurking here but not responding (so many other people do it better).
