Science doesn't claim to be infallible or perfectly accurate but rather



is self correcting and tends get better with time and effort.

It is an unfortunately common (and dishonest) creationist tactic to take



relatively small scientific controversies or corrections and equivocate



to infer that the whole field is unreliable.







As one of my mentors once said "All simulations (models) are wrong, some



are useful."







The god of the gaps is shrinking slowly.















There's nothing but dishonesty in creationism. It's one thing to be



self-delusional and believe that sort of nonsense, and it is quite



another and dishonest to try to push it onto public school kids as some



sort of "alternative."





Great proclamation Harry! Interesting that Creationism is 'dishonest' but an evolutionary theory is taught as a proven fact. LOL! BTW, When you gonna start building the conscentration camps to hold the 'religiously insane?"



Can I be the first to sign the guest book?

There is tons of science underpinning evolution, but not a shred of

evidence that creationism is anything more than religious delusion.



Go ahead, *prove* a supreme being created the universe. Got *any*

evidence that will stand scientific scrutiny? Anything at all beyond

religious "belief"?


Nah, let you science prove it.

As I have stated many times, I don't give a damn what "the religious"

believe in terms of their religion, so long as they don't try to push

those beliefs beyond themselves, their families, their churches, et

cetera.


Sure you do, Harry, Sure you do. That's why you bring it up in here. And that's why it agitates you.

Teaching or promoting of religious belief should have no place

in our public schools or public institutions or public government.

And that's how our government is set up to no be pro- any specific religion.

Nor anti- as well.
