I stumbled upon this statment, and i really was amused by it. "God created Man in his image, but really it was the other way around"


According to the Association of Religious Data a poll conducted on beliefs of the origin of man.
the results showed:
1) God created man in his present form 608 (42.6%)
2) Man has evolved 170 (11.9%)
3) Man has evolved, but God guided 598 (41.9%)
4) Other / Don't know 52 (3.6%)

Evolution should be taught in schools!

Why Creationism should not be taught in public education
Creationism is not science it is a belief, and beliefs can never even be considered science because faith can never be proven wrong. All scientific facts can either be proven true or false, or in the case of theories, at least have supporting data of the theory that needs to be proven true.

Creation science is obviously seen as an expression of a religious belief being imposed on public education. In a 1987 case, Edwards v. Aquillard, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that these (creation science, to be taught in place in stead of evolution) laws were unconstitutional because they violated the 1st Amendment of the U.S. constitution.

Evolution is not theory its fact. Scientist can track the genetic change in a population over time, which is the basis for the evolution theory. Genetics change due to natural selection, can lead organisms to acquire adaptation such as mimicry or camouflage. All Evolution Thoery does is link the known fact of genetic change in a population of an organism, with human origin, history and other closely related organisms. This is real science, and is backed by scientific data.

If you do not want your child to taught scientific theories like evolution, then put your child in a private school or better yet church and stop this crusade for keeping science out of our school.

Knowledge is not Blasphemy!!!!!

President Bush should have really been taught how to critically think in school

here are the basic benefits of critical thinking!!!!
• raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;
• gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively
• comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
• thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and
• communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.

wtf, as a tax paying American all i can say is seriously wtf?

The UNITED STATES is the world's largest consumer of cocaine, shipped from Colombia through Mexico and the Caribbean; consumer of ecstasy and of Mexican heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine; minor consumer of high-quality Southeast Asian heroin; illicit producer of cannabis, marijuana, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, and methamphetamine; money-laundering cente (www.cia.gov)

As an American i think its about time we start to focus on issues that acutally affect us. The Iraq war is a very powerful problem AND It IS CRITICAL THAT WE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, but i wish more Americans would voice there concerns, not about the war on terrorism, but the war on poverty, or drugs, or even the war on education.

(teradon43/m. nacirema)The United States, China , France, Russia, and England have automatic veto power in the United Nations that can crush any peace proposal at will. these same countries are also the world leaders in weapon production for the open market. Big business weapon manufactures have huge lobbyist that have huge influence in these Nations. Big Business involved in created Weapons for war are heavily involved in creating wars for the purpose of fueling profits. think about it, if theres peace than what are the weapon manufacturing businesses going to do with a 23 million dollar combat helicopter that it cant sell?or billions of dollars in weapons contracts it cant create? think about it

RISE OF THE NACIREMA
Many People think that being American is some kind of newly created human race. They believe that you can be 100% American when in reality you can never be, and those who claim to be 100% (main stream white middle class Christians) criticize those who have cultured families of other countries or religions. The idea that America was founded on was for it to be a huge “tossed salad” of various ingredients. It was supposed to a place where people of different race, ethnicity, culture, and social conduct could live together side by side. This is the real America, however the main stream would have you believe America is a melting pot, and that everyone should adopt the values and ideas of main stream. Instead of being judged and looked down upon as non American we, the racial and cultural minorities of the United States, have taken the Nacirema as a symbol of being a proud cultured American. If the main stream, mostly white Christians, is going to accuse the racial and cultural minorities of not being full pledged Americans then I guess I for one am just backwards in my values, so our new name will be american backwards. We have taken the name as a boycott, to bring pride to all the social, cultural, and racial minorities and to bring understanding throughout the United States.
