Why was evolution voted out of the schools in Arkansas?

Question

Is Christianity trying to make a recovery?

Answer 1

In the West, the theory of evolution continues to be promoted as if it is a proven fact or a secure, testable and tested law. This presentation implies that there is no room, let alone any need, for discussion. The most common media cliche is that the evolutionary chain has been confirmed yet again by yet another discovery of the missing link proving human ancestry from apes. Faced with this kind of promotion and presentation, and the sheer pervasiveness of it, it is no surprise if non-specialists come to accept that the theory must be true, and that it must be accepted by all the specialists, the whole scientific community, with no serious doubters. However, that perception is far from the reality. In the first place, the theory lacks completeness on two major counts and there is no likelihood of these deficiencies ever being made up. In the second, there are major voices of dissent from within the scientific community, alongside alternative theoretical explanations which demonstrate a far superior conformity with observed or experimentally obtained data.

Answer 2

This is Arkansas you are talking about. At last the results of hundred years or so of men marrying their first cousins and sisters is bearing fruit. Why have schools there at all - just ship the kids off to state institutions and by-pass the costly education bit altogether. Put up a nice little fence around the place and let let them degenerate further back to sub humans and prove the principle of assisted evolution for themselves.

Answer 3

Some people think that understanding evolution is akin to standing on a soap box in main street and proclaiming that God does not exist. There is this notion that anyone who teaches evolution is a blasphemer, and that the devil is at work whenever another fossil is discovered. Only ignorance can lead to faith, knowledge is a threat.

Let the book burning begin!

Answer 4

Evolution per se is not bad.

God could have used a gradual process to bring about life on earth.


But what is objectionable - and even abominable - is so-called science used as a cloak to promote atheism|

Saying that evolution is a proven fact is a case in point (it is only a theory - a good theory - but is only a theory). Any scientist who says that evolution is proven is either lying or incompetent|


Natural selection is presented as a scientific fact in this day and age|

Nothing could be more bogus|

Although some natural selection has been observed for minor variations *within* species (micro-evolution), there is absolutely no proof at all that it gave rise to new species (macro-evolution). In fact, that is a strict impossibility.


Much *science* taught today is simply deception, as politics and a political agenda underlie much of what is going on in the main-stream|

Although science is a wonderful thing, it is now out of control in academia, having taken on a life of its own, no longer interested in finding what is true about the physical universe|

Answer 5

It's Arkansas.I don't think the state is known for their high random sampling of Mensa members.

Answer 6

That didn't pass.

Though teaching the "theory of evolution" as truth is equally unfair. The theory can not prove everything and leads us to many questions.

Answer 7

Too many big words!

Answer 8

Praise the Lord!! Good for them!
