Thank you for your reply lebowski but that was to mrdobolina.
I can see your point though btw.

the clergy should be left in their playpen while the rest of us are out there making sweet moolah

Yes, God's message of "LOVE" would be a horrible thing if it creeped out into the street and into the classroom.
Please don't keep talking to me about this. It's futile and I'm wasting my time.
Keep truckin down your same path and let me do the same.

Wow, I just read that whole article and it is incredibly one sided.
Can you tell what the person's belief is in the matter who wrote that article? I can. Quite obvious.
"Objective" news is dead.

One last thing then it's lunch time.
I know what you're going to say next. Something about teachers pushing their beliefs onto students about religion and such. Well that coin has two sides as well Rick. What about the teachers pushing other agendas and their religios or non religious beliefs down their students throats?
I might be wrong here but none of us are the teacher who was posting messages of God on his bulletin board a few months ago... so don't come here and bark up our tree about it. Your message is the same every day... bitch about someone else to the people who aren't involved here. It's tired.
Peace.

hey without new "findings" they wont get new research grants. thats all i have to say.

It's true, k0na. It goes both ways. I know a lot of profs who do exactly that, and students who mention religious things usually get ridiculed at times. Thankfully, it's not that bad at my university.

(Apr 6 06, 09:45)Scientology will be legit in a hundred years. They'll probably have some sort of Pope. We live in a new age Rome. Instead of being thrown to the lions they are being thrown to the press. What's fucked up is that they'll be St. Cruise.

Thanks Jaline.
Do you know what the best part of this whole thread is?
mrdobolina doesn't want teachers, in public schools, pushing their religious beliefs towards students. Fair enough.
Yet, daily, mrdobolina pushes not only his belief that there IS no religion, but also his political beliefs toward US. Daily. And that is a fact that no one can deny.
It's quite ironic really.

I'm having Tiktaalik for dinner this saturday if anyone is interested in coming over for a beer and some land fish.

(Apr 6 06, 09:23)you're absolutely right.
news media should always present the other, completely nonsensical, retarded possibilities along with their facts

i would sure hate for our news to not continue propagating old, outdated, incorrect information

(Apr 6 06, 09:59)I couldn't dissagree with you more.
And I wasn't dissing the article, I was dissing how it was written. Not it's content.

It was easy to tell that the article was flawed when they said this:
“like Archaeopteryx, the famous fossil that bridged the gap between reptiles and birds”.
I guess they didn't hear that it was a fully mammalian bird: http://www.ideacenter.org/conten…
Anyway, regarding Tiktaalik, either the creature at some point could breathe both in and out of the water or else at some point one solitary Tiktaalik “learned” to breathe air. It would not only have to learn to breathe air but it would also have to learn how to use breathing air to an advantage with a beneficial point mutation happening which would settle in the genome and get passed along, etc... etc.... (insert additional hand waving & speculative scenarios here). The more one looks at this thru the lens of Darwinian gradualism, the more absurd it becomes. We know of the biochemical hurdles this thing would have to cross without intelligent guidance... and sorry, it ain't happnin' that way. How do they know this is a transitional form and not a separate species that deserves its own unique branch? We have no soft tissue, just fossil remains. It could be just another interesting creature with features in common with some other creatures. It really comes down to the paradigm in which you interpret the evidence.
The article also mentions this being a detriment to Intelligent Design. This demonstrates how little the authors know about ID. Common ancestry via saltation or quantum level programming is perfectly compatible with ID. It is the unscientific notion that Darwin's unguided NS+RM can naturally produce biological novelty, that ID (and the evidence) challenges.
