Instead of debating evolution, should we just vote on it?
Here are the items on the ballot:
A)
we came from turtles, which came from mustard seeds, which were invented by God. God came from Mexico.
B) There is no conceivable alternative to A.

Excellent idea, Darrel, I'd love to see Saturn.

DesiDani, please leave Einstein out of this.

Your question implies that it's still up for debate.
It isn't. Any more than the earth revolving around the sun and being about 4.5 billion years old. The facts are in. The decision has been made. It's not our fault if you don't have either the interest, intelligence or willingness to understand the tremendous and unwaivering support behind evolution.

Okay. So voting makes something automatically TRUE? That is what you are implying. So, let me suggest a little experiment: take a bill from your wallet, start small like on a $1 or $5 but remember, I am not responsible if you choose after all is done, NOT to believe. Now, call some friends or if you have one or some there, even better...witnesses. All of you will VOTE that the dollar bill will NOT be destroyed and that it is NOT burnt and is still usable. Now, set fire to it in a tub or mostly dry sink and watch and wait. Did it work? Well of course! It is perfectly fine even though it looks different now, you VOTED on it. Now go try and spend it and explain that you VOTED that it is still perfectly usable and let me know how that turns out for you, okay?

You can't vote on a theory, Einstein. Some people are not so hung up on what other people think.
Edit:
Nope, even Einstein would scoff at your idea.

I once voted to ban being burned by boiling water.
But when I stuck my hand in a pot of boiling water I still got burned.
If only more people had voted...

That is totally wrong. God is from Canada. Everybody knows that.

Man, I need to evolve a little more, because I can't figure out who you're making fun of.
Now, I'm gonna feel stupid all day.

there seems to be a intellectual gap in explaining things to Christians...Christians don't even want to try to understand science, because it MIGHT show their beliefs as fantasy.
There are numerous different possible reasons life began...maybe there is a "seed" of life in all things...Life is pretty cool, you can use a fantasy story to understand it...but don't expect others to have your blind faith in what other MEN say

Would it be a phone in vote? I don't think you'd get a good turnout otherwise.

As I would tell my students when they try to force a vote in my classroom: "This is not a democracy!"

I cast a vote of no confidence.
