Another Creationist Teacher Bites The Dust

[bobhikes]

Let's see, there was Jean Baptiste Lamarck and his transmutation of species, James Mark Baldwin and his organic selection and Henry Fairfield Osborn and orthogenesis. None of them were labeled nutcases but they were all eventually proven wrong. The fact that no one has come up with a credible alternative in almost 100 years just speaks to the strength of the Theory of Evolution.

Thanks for the useless work.

Jean Baptiste Lamarck and James Mark Baldwin both jumped on the evolution band wagon. Their eariler works are considered as just pandering to the popular opinion according to several sites. There later work is accepted into evolution theory.

Here's a quote on Henry fairfield Osborn.
Henry Fairfield Osborn, Sr. (August 8, 1857 – November 6, 1935) was an American geologist, paleontologist, and eugenicist. One critic called him "a first-rate science administrator and a third-rate scientist.

But I did say religious and that is not a religious remark so you beat me.

By the way 100 years is nothing people live that long.

Actually, Freshwater wasn't fired for being a creationist... that was low hanging fruit.

He was fired for burning religious symbols into students flesh with a Tesla-coil and being a general d-bag leading to a massive law suit.

Creationism was just the icing on the fruit-cake.

That would be an very impressive feat by Lamark as he died 30 years before Origin of Species was published.

Your sites are lying to you.

This is how the ToE is kept alive. If people were allowed to look at evolution critically then it wouldn't stand up. This validates the movie Expelled. The elite evolutionists are laughing at the herd of masses that they are brain washing.

So you see it as the job of a middle school science teacher to teach things that scientists believe are false?

Didn't check the dates below is one sites comments. Apparently in evolution you can take credit for a dead mans work.


Lamarck is primarily remembered for a theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, called soft inheritance or Lamarckism. However, his idea of soft inheritance was, perhaps, a reflection of the folk wisdom of the time, accepted by many natural historians. Lamarck's contribution to evolutionary theory consisted of the first truly cohesive theory of evolution, in which an alchemical complexifying force drove organisms up a ladder of complexity, and a second environmental force adapted them to local environments through use and disuse of characteristics, differentiating them from other organisms.[5]

no, in science you build on the work of people before you... that way, we don't have to re-invent the wheel every time we need one. Trust me, no one wants to take credit for Lamarck's ideas... quaint as they are.

if you want to use others words though, you should give credit and a link to the source material.

Scientists should leave their beliefs at the door. Beliefs aren't science.

Believing is the backbone of scientific hypotheses.

Depends on how you define "belief".

Or, scientists should leave their subjective and/or religious beliefs at the door. Subjective and/or religious beliefs aren't science.

Good to know... I'm sure that is quite different than how creationists would choose to define it.

That's right. That's why what this teacher was doing is wrong; he was teaching his beliefs; not science.
