I understand what you're saying.

This was my point:



Sorry it wasn't clear. I was just using my experiences as an example.

Oooh yeah, sorry. Misread what you were trying to say ^_^ Thought you were confused as to why he didn't say it was a theory and why bible = myth in school.

I'm not taking sides in this discussion, but it's much simpler to just say God designed Evolution, instead of saying he manipulated all the little evolutionary changes as they came. Say he designed it and sat back, watching and waiting, and most likely laughing.

This is better thought out than mine.

But it's better.

Evolution has nothing to do with that FYI.

Evolution is not some cosmic theory. It has nothing to do with the origins of the universe.
Yes it does. Without the Universe, there is no Milky Way Galaxy, without the Milky Way Galaxy, there is no Earth, without Earth (As far as we know.) There is no life.

I understand the point you're trying to make but they are both interlinked.

But thats the thing, there isn't a design to evolution.

Not really, the universe doesn't care if theres a galaxy, therefore it doesn't care if theres an earth and therefore it doesn't care if there is life. These things came about randomly after billions upon billions of years. The idea that they're interlinked is about as similar as saying a carabou is the same thing as a opossum because they both breath air.

But that said nothing of what the Americans understood of their government though it did show that many young Americans were bad with maps.

I was referring to overall knowledge. You can easily run a Google search for very sad studies about what people don't know about the government.

Yeah, that's what it seemed like. lol. You even made me reread what I posted, I was wondering if I had sounded stupid.

Stuff like this.

This is why I have to take a standardized Map Test to pass one of my courses. It's so remedial. But it's to keep stupid people like this from graduating.

But thats the thing, there isn't a design to evolution.

But how do we know?! What if that is the plan? Randomness!

See, I'm glad you get it.

I was going to say it's such an awesome plan only god can understand it. But then I forgot about Superman.

I hate to be the black sheep here, but why are we discussing this topic again on this site? Haven't we done this like twenty times already?

But not that recently. Plus, people have changed minds and it's a different debate every time.
