And God said, let there be evolution. And there was evolution. And it was good.

That is a statement of faith, not of science as it cannot be proved or disproved.

What 'language' might he/she/it 'speak'?

esperanto

Who/what is this god (thing) anyway?

thing that floats in emptiness

And how does one of the many authors of whichever bible(s) know what their god(s) 'says' in anycase?...

they know esperanto, and it is written in stone


Or is The Law to be the New Bible?...

who is law, i don´t know her

more questions?

"Constructed" languages tend not to do very well. We seem to have some hard-wired processes for 'evolving' innate language constructs that then evolve in everyday use. Perhaps the official regulation of the French language dooms that language to an obsolescent past?

Has Esperanto been voluntarily adopted by people anywhere? Or does it remain an EU curiosity?

And why does anything have to 'float' in space? We might be 'swimming' through space. Or?

And is she pretty?


There should always be more questions, or is boredom your form of Hell?

Can you work out how the quoting works so that your inline answers are not lost as part of my quoted text?

Preferably, NEW questions... 'cause I don't particularly enjoy having to repeat myself... ;)

Isn't that 'religion'?

That is, you can only ask the questions for which the religious dogma already has a prepared answer?

(Are religions merely self-appreciation societies?)

Message 807393 - Posted: 12 Sep 2008, 12:09:17 UTC - in response to Message 781297.  

Of all the various dumb laws that are passed anywhere, this one is easily one of the more creative...

New legal threat to school science in the US

So evolution is legally a no-go? I guess it must all be an act of religion!

I guess the next step is that any claim of "fact" will be made 'illegal' in view of the 'uncertainty' of our physical perceptions when compared to the "pure truth" of belief?...


Only in the USA!

Unbelievable!!

Well, the creative arguments were bound to spread over here...

Teenagers are not stupid, even if creationism is
By all means let's debate it in schools: that way we can prove that science is a far, far better way of knowing the world

And thus, the Wrath of God thus Spake and Smites Asunder yet another victim:

The director of education at the Royal Society has stepped down 'by mutual agreement' after the press reported he had called for creationism to be taught in school science

Quite rightly quite a 'touchy' subject.

Now... I would be very happy to teach a scientific view for Religion. However, it would be more like a psychology and philosophy lesson rather than blind belief... But then, it wouldn't be teaching Religion at all! Beyond belief?

(It would be teaching about humans and their religions and how religions themselves have evolved. Ever wondered why there is no One religious Truth?)
