    Women priests and sex abuse are not equal crimes according to the Vatican...

    Agreed! This sort of thing is beyond insane. While sins are technically equal, some obviously have far greater consequences than others. I'm truly appalled at the lack of any form of true response that the Catholic Church gives when a priest commits such an act. The offending priests ought to...

    It works out like that pretty often, haha...

    Hahaha, I definitely agree with that. This whole conversation is really a moot point...

    Well, its impractical. Very impractical. There are problems with the education system, I'm afraid, and its not going to change anytime soon, either...

    But not follow it up with, "Such as..."? What if a student asks?

    Alright, then don't phrase it "possible alternative". I'm not a teacher, but present it in an unbiased light (if possible).

    How, then, is ID an ethical issue? Philosophical, perhaps, but I don't think I would call it ethical. No, and just as I don't think of it as an ethical issue, I don't see it as a scientific issue either. I guess the whole point is that teaching a variety of topics (including possibly touching...

    Hmmm. I see where you're coming from, but...I guess it's that I think teaching is something that goes beyond the individual subject. It's about growing the student into a well rounded, knowledgeable person, and for some, mentioning ID may help with that, thats all.

    Come now, sir. Ad hominems don't suit you. Address the statement or don't say anything at all. I did, actually. However, one court case in one country doesn't solve anything except in that one instance. ID can be portrayed in a biased light, but it doesn't have to.

    Hello! Did you not see what you quoted before you wrote that? I'm agreeing with you.

    Are you seriously comparing ID to child molesting? Don't be absurd. There is a large difference. Child molestation and murder are ethical issues. ID is not. And what is my favored one? Did I ever once mention one? I'm not promoting anything religious at all. ID doesn't necessitate a God. Just...

    Haha, thanks, but I haven't once said that I find the implications of ToE distasteful or frustrating at all. But some people may, and I think that they (particularly students) ought to be able to at least know that other views exist. Sure, they may have heard of it elsewhere, but coming from a...

    I still don't necessarily believe that ToE is THE way life developed. It would be narrow minded to think of it that way. Keep your options open, whether it be to ID or any other idea. To think of ToE as being the ONLY possible way life could have developed is similar to the way the Catholic...

    The Nature of the Abrahamic god

    Ah, thanks...I'll remember that.

    Ok, I've read all the posts above, but I really would rather not go through them all and quote them, haha. I understand that the ToE is a scientific law. Thats all fine and dandy, but its not necessarily truth. ID isn't either...however, both ought to presented equally as possibilities. Sure...

    If you vist no other Creation VS Evolution website you HAVE to Vist This one.

    Agreed. Evolution is a factual process. But the magnitude to which ToE puts it (speciation, for example) is not necessarily fact. Hence, theory status. Ah yes...I've heard this many times before as well (which leads me to believe that neither will likely convince the other ;) Oh well). The...

    If you vist no other Creation VS Evolution website you HAVE to Vist This one.

    No, but students of biology (if they are at all inquisitive and are actually paying attention in class) will ultimately question the origin of life. If ToE is taught as an explanation (it IS only a theory), than alternative explanations ought to be taught as well. Neither (at least not in public...

    You must be born again, how?

    You've got me....maybe a particularly noisy camel walked by the window and Nicodemus misheard Jesus, haha. But really, thats a good question...:sarcastic

    A thought experiment

    Well, theoretically, yes. But then we're back where we started: wondering where we came from and who God is. So, a giant machine controlled by God made the universe. Thats an explanation, as much as any other, I suppose.......
