		<description>Before I go ahead and finish writing, I will state that I&#039;m 15 years old and in high school. Go ahead and discount what I say - yeah, I&#039;m just a kid. So?

&lt;blockquote&gt;Evolution is a load of malarkey its a whole lot of hogwash being used by the idiots who come up with the rediclous idea that we came from apes and all they got to show for it is a few dumb bone fragments a few fossels and a crack-pot theory&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You oviously don&#039;t know what the theory of evolution is, and how it relates to the evolution of humans. Listen carefully, I&#039;ll only say this once. HUMANS DID NOT EVOLVE FROM APES. The evolution of humans is thought to be an example of divergent evolution - that means apes and humans split from a common ancestor.

&lt;blockquote&gt;I just read a headline that said âFinally science admits evolution is just a theoryâ. Idiots.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Idiots indeed. Who needs to admit that the &quot;Theory of evolution&quot; is &quot;just&quot; a theory? There is no &quot;just&quot; in theorys. Gravity is a theory. Do you believe in gravity? Or is the earth just flat?</description>

<p>Idiots indeed. Who needs to admit that the "Theory of evolution" is "just" a theory? There is no "just" in theorys. Gravity is a theory. Do you believe in gravity? Or is the earth just flat?</p>

		<description>Read the transcripts for the case. It is beautiful.

The ACLU lawyers are wiping the floor with the ID folks. I&#039;m sorry, I really don&#039;t mean to be nasty but ID is serious ignorance. I just read a headline that said &quot;Finally science admits evolution is just a theory&quot;. Idiots. Education would fix their religion problem.</description>

		<description>DL,

There&#039;s nothing about evolution that precludes a Creator.  Science is based on what is proven, even if it is incomplete.  Hypotheses are put forward and tested using evidence.  That&#039;s what distinguishes evolution from ID.

That&#039;s the argument here: one is science, the other is not.  One is appropriate  for teaching in science classes, the other is not.</description>

		<description>The scientists want the world to accept their creationism theories on faith, because they can&#039;t prove through scientific methodology that God didn&#039;t create the world.

The creationists can&#039;t prove that God did create the world, but they need to accept all truth whether scientific or biblical, as their God can&#039;t deny scientific truth either. 

In short, neither side can prove their case and both ask us to accept their positions on faith.

Science needs to leave open the possibility that a God may have created the world (through evolution?) and creationists need to leave open that possibility also.

The problem is that science can&#039;t measure God, therefore, can&#039;t prove (nor disprove), but they need not reject that the possibility that a creative God exists. He&#039;s just outside of their area of expertese.

My Doctor can&#039;t see my conscience, but it certainly exists.</description>
