Isn't it sad that the proffessor has to give a full lecture (prior to the Evolution lecture) about not trying to confuse the symbolic metaphors of creation with the scientific facts that support the theory of evolution?
And why would he assume that all religions consider their creation stories to be fact?
Is he just putting the Christian students on ice before they get all fired up?

Where to begin.... Christians do seem to think their creation myth is fact. This Professor is a very prudent man.
I would be less sensitive: as in I would tell the Believers in creation myth that "This is a science class, what you learn here will undoubtedly be at odds with any mythical beliefs you may hold dear"

Evolution is a theory maximum efficient customary upon how "evolution" is defined, if it states that each human being creatures massive difference into diverse kinds of creatures as time passes, then it truly is a thoery... in spite of the reality that if evolution is defined as creatures massive difference by the years because of their foodstuff and ecosystem then it truly is often a reality... its all the way you want to stipulate evolution even if that's a reality or only a theory Evolution does no longer finally end up a technique or a diverse that God does or does now no longer exist, even in spite of the reality that Bible thumpers can argue this, yet even as God were to exist, then God does no longer continuously might want to be the God it truly is depicted interior the Bible as depicted interior the Bible, the Bible in spite of everything is only a complilation of books chosen for inclusion

I hate to break it some of the idiots *cough*ted.nardo*cough* that there is a wealth of information that supports evoloution, and not one thing that supports creationism. I think that the professor was probably anticipating the fundies getting up in arms about the evolution lecture, and that's why he did it. As for the evolution vs. creationism debate, I can see the importance in both, but I still don't think that we all went snap, crackle, pop and now we exist.

I had a history teacher fired because a student felt he was trying to 'convert' the class. she was uber christian, and he was simply teaching the side of 3 religions: christianity, judeaism(sp?), and islam.
the professor has to give that pre lecture to kepe himself safe of the fanatic religious who feel their souls are at stake.

that's great. what a smart man. There's actually a lot of evidence for evolution, and DNA helps the evolution theory.

From what you said, evolution is a theory. There is no proof. There are no missing links between one species and another. Fact is, science now knows that the DNA which makes up the building blocks of life is a digital code, which means evolution is impossible.

ted.nardo:
You are a moron.
There is also the general and special theories of realativity, I guess that means gravity also doesn't exist.
And what the hell are you talking about "DNA is digital"? That is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
