<Thats one of your more positive statements and an improvement.> Guy it's IRRELEVANT to the topic... it's imply something YOU like to hear presumably. I consider it a sign of health. So yes, I like to hear it. ----------------------------------- <Yeah, when they put stuff in textbooks that aren't true and a few of those h/b mentioned on the thread recently, I think thats wrong and s/b stopped.> Well, everyone does... so? That would entail working to correct problems... not railing on "evolution" as a whole. And yet mentioning such problems makes one a "creationist". ---------------------------------- <villainous behavior that has gone on and is going on. Why not talk about it.> There is a difference between 'talking' and grinding axes to the point of denying evolution and not wanting it taught in schools. JMO Most people aren't aware of Darwin's relationship to eugenics and scientific racism. I think there is benefit from things being more widely known. It might make people more skeptical when they here "science has reached a concensus", when "science" is used to support some radical plan to remake society. Examples of past issues like eugenics, scientific racism, Ehrlich's "population bomb", the Club of Rome's limits to growth ..... might make people more skeptical about accepting that human-caused global warming has been proven to be an imminent danger which we have only 4 years to address before irreversible damage is done (a statement a "scientist" made recently). ------------------------------------ <As I've tried to say over the years agaisnt those who use evolution to attack religion.> But that's not what the board is about... I think that is indeed relevant to this board. ---------------------------------- do you think religion should be taught or not... In public schools? Of course not. Look what a terrible job they do teaching science. --------------------------------- Why do you react to the wacko's like Dawkins? Because they aren't treated as wackos by establishment science. And I do consider Oxford U to be establishment science. ----------------------------- Why not start a new board about that? If it wasn't for me, this board wouldn't have had a post for years now.
