darwin is always good for a debate:

Quote:LOUISVILLE - The founder of a popular Kentucky Christian museum that rejects evolution says in a new book that Darwin's theory fuels racism and genocide.

Ken Ham, who opened the Creation Museum last year, and co-author Charles Ware, president of Crossroads Bible College in Indianapolis, have written "Darwin's Plantation: Evolution's Racist Roots," arguing that the theory inspired the Nazi belief in racial superiority and the murderous policies of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

"What Darwinian evolution did I would say is provide what people thought was a scientific justification for separation of races," Ham said in an interview.

Of course, one could argue that his god has a "chosen people" so everyone else is expendable; and understanding evolution lets one realize that every branch of the evolutionary tree is important as we never know where the branches will lead.

That museum is funny until you realize that people take it seriously. All observable data contradicts what they claim, and they butcher Genesis.

Just for the record, that museum is not in Louisville.

Calling Evolution racist is a very old play.

Also, this is a test for the new bearcats off topic board. If you don't understand, don't worry about it.

It may be closer to us, but its on your side of the river.

It worries me that I don't understand if you are referring to your evolution comment or your statement that this is a test for the new bearcats off topic board.

I'm also full of the rage that only a person with social behavior and political views held to be influenced by private-property interest can have.

Don't worry, my comrade who has recently come into a large sum of money and doesn't know how to behave in a manner consistent with others in your newly adapted social class. The comment of understanding was only for my testing purposes, and your lack of comprehension of the test in question is not critical to the functioning of this particular bulletin board system.

Thank (my creationist) God!

I lost all my money gambling last night and now I'm not even bourgeois. Hey Bourgeois, can you spare a dime?

this thread needs more pictures

Crap! Evolution only has a tree, Creationist have an whole orchard. Evolution is dead, my world is crashing down around me. Oh noes!

I’ve passed through the area many times on my way to Cincinnati, but I never really hung out in that area.

Here in Louisville, the counties across the river in Indiana have some Indiana flavor, but they are more just an extension of Greater Louisville and have more of a Louisville personality then upstate Indiana.

I’m thinking the Covington, KY area in relation to Cincinnati is the same way. Is this true?

Many people from Cincinnati have moved into the Northern Kentucky area; especially Covington and newport areas. Mainly because there is an actual nightlife. Though, the migrant population decreases quickly the farther you get in to KY.

The museum is off I-275 near the Indiana border. I kind want to go back to see if they've changed anything and finished the "Hall of Dragons" exhibit.

Cool, I believe that's from Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

Yeah, it is. I love watching that series, never gets old.

I just saw the "remastered" version a couple of years ago. It was a really well done series. Also, Carl Sagan turned me on to Vangelis.

Ever wonder how the butterfly evolved? You know what? It didn't. Neither did man. We adapt to our environment, (survival of the fittest) but, in the beginning, we were created, by God. (Elohim)

I'm not going to get into a lengthy discussion here...but the theory of evolution has more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese.

Gods Word on the other hand, never changes, and has never, and will never, be proven inaccurate.

You guys have a great week.

I got the series from Santa a couple years ago. I have it on my Ipod and put it on all the time. It was meant to help build basic knowledge of science, how it works, and what it has found. Seems as though it hasn't been shown enough. It is pretty interesting that little has changed in the past thirty years.

Quote:Gods Word on the other hand, never changes, and has never, and will never, be proven inaccurate.

Except for the first five chapters of Genesis. I'm sorry, but grass did not appear before the sun, birds did not appear before insects, whales did not appear before lizards, and the list goes on. You can believe what someone tells you a god did, or you can look around you and see what a god did.

There is more then enough science to prove that evolution is the way things happened.

Perhaps the bible was written in some sort of fictional parables, and that they weren't necessarily written to be taken for face value, but rather what the stories were trying to convey is the important part?
