They have already denounced evolution,and are desperately trying to get schools to teach Creation "science".Next their "scientists" will probably declare that they have found proof of the four elements(earth,wind,water and fire)and levity through the Bible.Agree?

Well, the bad thing here is that many people choose to just believe what they are told and readily dismiss any information that may make sense to them.
They seriously believe that science replaces god, and that just isn't how it is.
Funny, but you will get more hatred from christians over this answer, than you will non-christians... and they teach love and peace. *Note answer one*
You know why they leave hateful little messages? Because they seriously believe they have jesus in their heart, and their hatred towards non-believers will be justified at the pearly gates when they die.
And that is sad, because each church teaches it differently (what crimes will be justified).
That is almost as funny as when i used to think *if i was good* a big fat man in a red suit left a present for me when i fell asleep on christmas eve - but only if i am good and the mean stuff i did when i defended him to my piers was okay.... no - bad is bad, anyway you slice it.
They feel like they have to defend their christ for some reason.. when their is no defending to be had.. they wage wars, do hate crimes, etc.. all in the name of the lord. Why? lol
They think creationism should be taught, because evolution is taught - they do not realize that there are atheist children, pagan children, etc... that are in schools - not just christian children. Perhaps they think because the planets are not directly quoted in the bible, that those should not be taught?
Personally, I cannot wait until they reveal more of the scrolls they have found... they stated they were not going to be divulging the information to the public because there would be mass hysteria and churches would fall. So, thanks to certain people, other people that actually want to know something, can't.

All right, some Christians believe the Bible verbatum, which mosty prohibits accepting the theory of evolution. Evolutionists on the other hand refuse to accept the theory of the Bible. Others just don't like the idea of evolving for humans. Nearly all scientists believe in the Big Bang Theory for the universe, that about 15 billion years ago, something really big and wonderful happened - but no one knows why. And strangely enough, the big bang theory is not too far from the descriptions of the creation in the Bible. So, some "creation science" maybe more accurate than we might think. People believing in their point of view is fine, refusing to acknowledge other possible perspectives and compelling others to accept only their view is wrong. Do you realize that until about 1900, scientists refused to believe the Panda Bear was a real animal? And that when first offered as a theory, Plate Tectonics, was rejected by most scholars! A huge meteor killing the dinosaurs 65 million years ago wasn't fondly received either. At one time, many people would swear the world was flat!
The point is, neither layman nor scientists are always absolutely correct in their perspectives, assumptions or evidence.
We should always be willing to listen.

You need to be careful, both sides of the science and religion argument have made the whole thing a lot worse.
There are religious fundamentalists who reject solid science truth. There are scientific fundamentalists who object to religious beliefs, even when they are consistent with science. That's why there's a major and bad struggle going on.
Religious people should accept evolution. Science people should acknowledge that evolution could be a part of a higher powers plan for the creation of man. Religious people should accept that the universe started 14 billion years ago. Science people should acknowledge that a higher power may have created the bang. Nothing in science disproves religious explanations for the ultimate cause behind those scientific facts. Scientists who, without any scientific basis, reject the possibility that there is a higher power, are fundamentalists, too. They are equally destructive of reason.
It is possible for the majority of us, religious people and scientific people, to join together. There are those on both sides of the issues that would rather fight. It's very tragic.
Your screen name is a slap in the face to the 80% of Americans who are religious. If you want religious people to accept scientific fact you could help by respecting their beliefs and changing the screen name. Then you could have better discussions with them.

No...not yet. I agree with the Pope....religions should be free to believe what they want UNTIL they start committing terrorist acts and murder as a means of proselytizing.
As for the Fundamentalist views on science...personally, I think it's silly. The Creationist theory implies that God was too lazy or stupid to have created science and evolution as part of His creation plan.
Very few Fundamentalists will ever win the Nobel Prize.

Of course. What is now needed in this world is a secular moral code which transcends religion. The secular humanist/libertarian camp seems to be the winner. People are addicted to being hysterical and dumb, and self-serving. My advice is to drop such pointless inquiries and live as selfishly and well as you can and ignore the world's idiots. Believe me, I have spent many years frustrated by the morons.
Regarding "evolution" vs."creation science": "Creation science" is NOT a science because it does not allow the hypothesis to be dropped when observation points in a different direction!!!

Yes.
The people in the rest of the "developed" nations shake their heads in amazement at this bizzare phenomena in the US; a retrograde movement away from the process of observation, testing & free inquiry that has transformed the world over the last 500 years.

Fundamentalism is too far by definition. If they didn't
live in the civilizing environment of Western civilization
they would behave no better than Muslim fundamentalists.
They are ignorant, narrow-minded and gullible. They
are being lead around by greedy self-serving religious
politicians who use old fashioned fear tactics.

So you believe that it's going too far to expect that if evolution is taught in the public school - then it's fair to teach creationism as well.
I just believe it's important for both sides to be taught - even though I personally don't believe in evolution.
Wow you all sound so hostile toward the idea of a loving God. You would rather believe the theory of evolution - rather than mankind being formed from a loving Creator who made us in His likeness and having a plan/purpose for our lives?
btw - Christians are not the only ones who believe in Creationism. Many other religions do too. My kids are in public school with many different types of faith, along with athiests and agnostics. We are peaceful and tolerant of all faith practices, but when asked are prepared to state our beliefs.

Don't narrow it to one religion
all religions have gone toooooo far
They all believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong that is the problem.
Religion has killed more people than anything else in the history of civilization.
