How about teaching evolution at Sunday school?

Welcome Bella,I don't believe that the original intent of this tread was to seriously promote the teaching of evolution in Sunday school. If I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I read the entire thread) it was a counter to fundamentalists wanting religious beliefs taught in science class. I totally agree...and religious beliefs have nothing to do with science. Leave science education in the hands of science educators and leave religious instruction in the hands of the church.------------------

Hi Mike, I don't quite understand. I don't think BellaSanta has said anything very different from what most of us post here. I don't understand how the majority of posters here are being "dishonest".I do agree with you that "some" posters do a fair amount of bashing, sarcastic type posts, but I don't believe that that holds for the majority of this site.In my view, the people who get "bashed" the most are the ones that refuse to listen to anyone, restating refuted arguments time and time again. Or posters like Wise who would post paintings of space and claim them as proof of god.If I remember correctly, myself and others have personally taken to task posters who have jumped you for your beliefs and demanded explainations for these beliefs.When you come on an E vs C forum, you have to remember that there are going to be a WIDE range of opinions. Never apologize or feel you have to defend your "faith", but do be prepared to defend your understanding of science.------------------

Hi K.Ah to be so young and so dogmatic. When someone can give us another scientific theory that explains all the evidence, I'm sure it will start being taught.Maybe you can find an approriate thread to present your evidence for "The Truth^tm"

Maybe you could enlighten us as to just what a "theory" is.And what is meant by "religious backup"?

Ah yes....DylanCrimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

I always assumed that the more people insisted they were mature, the less they actually were. True maturity comes from the understanding of how immature we truly are.
