Beckys_Mom Posted July 2, 2012 #51 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Well when the children look it up on the internet or find out later in life... The whole thing will backfire and they will hate the religion. So in the long run they are just making the situation worse for themselves and their religion. lol Good point.. they most likely will look it up on line and find it is a Scottish myth It could backfire and make the kids question more about their bible...they could be shooting themselves in the foot by doing this....These fundies have not go a single clue ...But I wouldn't be surprised if their ignorant teachers suggest that if they go on line and read that Nessie was just a myth.. that the devil put it on there for them to read sigh..To be a fundie ( like those teachers) you really need to dumb yourself down to think like them...I have read some stupid ideas from a few fundies in the past, and reading them can make you drop a few IQ points lol Edited July 2, 2012 by Beckys_Mom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Ha ha yes that's right. that's when they forget that God is meant to be all knowing, therefore wouldn't need to test anyone.. he already knew the outcome .

Junior Chubb Posted July 2, 2012 #59 Share Posted July 2, 2012 THOUSANDS of American school pupils are to be taught that the Loch Ness monster is real – in an attempt by religious teachers to disprove Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. I look forward to these kids coming up against some of the skeptics in the Cryptozoology section of UM in the near future. There should be some fireworks there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybele Posted July 2, 2012 #64 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If evoulution theory was prooven it wouldnt be called theory in the first place. Yes it would.

Evolution is both a fact and scientific theory. You are still using theory wrong. A scientific theory is an explanation of phenomena. Evolution is both a fact (the biological fact of evolution; allele frequencies change from generation to generation) and scientific theory (which explains the fact, or natural phenomena). The theory of evolution is called "the modern synthesis". Edited July 2, 2012 by Odin11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Gash Posted July 2, 2012 #70 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Dear Humans: If your species survives the next few hundred years without regressing into another "Dark Ages" or annihilating yourselves, you will look back on your past and wonder "How could we be so stupid as to believe this god nonsense?" We have found that about 42% of self-aware, intelligent, inquisitive beings that acquire this stage of irrational "magical" thought do rid themselves of such childish wish-belief. They become rational. The remainder struggle, with the irrational, anti-intellectual, anti-science, wish-believers senselessly bickering against the advances in knowledge achieved by the rational. This has led to annihilation by holy wars, by pestilence and disease preventable but for prohibition of scientific inquiry, over-population, etc. You Humans must remain inquisitive - all of you. You must test beliefs and keep those that are proven and discard those that are disproved. You must learn to distinguish between wishes and beliefs. Beliefs must not be guided by wishes; that leads to superstition. Beliefs that are guided by reason and strengthened by persistent questioning and testing may eventually become KNOWING. Strive to KNOW, not to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
