She is unqualified. Her limited intellect is shown by her belief that creationism should be given “equal time” in science classrooms with evolution. That McCain would pick an unqualified woman of limited intellect demonstrates that he is more interested in winning the election than providing competent leadership. That “social conservatives” hail this as a great candidate shows that they care more about their personal agenda than securing the future of our country.

Imagination is an important cornerstone of any religion. One experiment to prove that it’s all in the head would be to get together 25 people who have seen Jesus and have them individually draw his image. After all, it’s such an important dude, so the image much be etched in their memory. I’m pretty sure that the beard would be the only thing the images would have in common.

Also not true. The Big Bang Theory is really a scientific hypothesis that appears to fit the available data.

Evolution is an observable fact. Your statement is the equivalent of saying there is proof that the sun does not rise and that objects do not fall.

The argument goes by Intelligent Design and show the approach completely--not so much intelligent design as human imagination that a pattern or design exists. I had to laugh a few months ago I read the best response to the effect that banana's of the type they used were completely human engineered from the wild stock available. Even though their are at least 250 species of bananas (from memory) the Chaquita Banana we find in stores is a human creation of directed breeding. That clip should be shown everytime any ID argument is raised. Thanks. #68-69==Jag==how many two’fers do you get in a row on a thread? Both excellent.

This argument works for people that only want creationism. No matter who's dogma it is, it will still leave shit on the carpet.
