Intolerance in education...

[Hap]

AND IMHO this is a form of DISCRIMINATION and intolerance!

Too late Wrang.   You've been brainwashed already.  Since "discrimination" means to note differences between things, I always used the word "prejudice" to describe what they mean by discrimination.  I say we need more effort put forward to note the difference between things, not less.   And I'm VERY much for intolerance in favor of right and against wrong.

How do we know Leslie sends his children to a private religious school? I don't believe he has stated either way. Looks like you are jumping to conclusions. 

I wasn't talking about him specifically. More the school we're discussing.

Where does the school talk about thought police then?

[Leslie]

Well Ok.  I'm glad I read before I posted.   I was about to say something I might regret. <G>

Atheists say "In the beginning, there was NOTHING - Then, IT EXPLODED!"... Sounds kida far-fetched to me when you think about it that way...

[Motherland]

Actually, there was an ultra dense mass which contained the entire universe- that exploded.
Kind of iffy, but by far no less than a Jewish zombie returning from the grave after having forgiving us all our sins, and telling us to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
That actually sounds like it was somehow taken the wrong way, eating human flesh and drinking blood sounds like something Zombie Jesus should be doing, not the other way around...

Both sound far fetched, and I honestly think that modern day theoretical physics should be taught over the writings of delusional Hebrews that are what... 3,000-4000 years old?

[Scherf]

Zombie Jesus.

Now *there's* a comic-book title!

It is far fetched. Where did you hear this theory of an "explosion?"

[Mr No Name]

lol, you know.... this "Big Bang" theory these guys love!

[Rolex]

I knew what you were getting at, and I regret setting you up for this. I'll retract it and just say without sarcasm and cynicism that there is no explosion in the big bang theory.

I'd like to make the point that too many times, people take a position on something they know little about, or have a misunderstanding of the facts, including the opinions or positions of others. It is not always their fault because the modern media is guilty of being lax on the facts, too.

[Mr No Name]

I wasn't being serious, just funny... I guess I missed by a bit...

(Associated Press) - Mr No Name was arrested in the early hours of the morning on the charge of Attempted Humor on the Aces High II forum.  The arresting officer feels that after a brief cool-down period for all involved, the charges will likely be dropped due to lack of substantial evidence. No farm animals were harmed during the course of this event.

I thought it was pretty funny.

Of course any theory that claims to know the origin of the universe is pretty silly.  "in the beginning there was.. no wait.. before there was.. no wait.. "

Since it is impossible to know and a god, an eternal creator,  is every bit as plausible as anything science has offered so far..   

Why not at least mention it?   

for me.. for science to say that it is not possible is to admit that science is constrained in ways that cripple it.

[midnight Target]

Which proves that you have no idea at all what science is.

[SD67]

Science is merely the quest to understand and, if at all possible, replicate what we see, hear and otherwise experience in this world and beyond. It works in hard data. Conjecture, theory if you will, where it is used is backed by hard data as much as possible
