"How can like an African-American person evolve from a white person? We're different skin."

Science Class in Tennessee

This is one of those things that leaves me stammering nonsense.

There's just too much to address, with people who have no foundation upon which to form any understanding.

I just hope they're all so afraid of the big, bad, secular world that they stay in Tennessee.

For those who don't care to google it, Dayton, TN was the site of the Scopes Trial.

Apparently, Tennessee was home to the Scopes Trial, where a teacher broke the law by teaching the Theory of Evolution.

Oops, apparently reposted. You learn something every day.

I'm trying to figure out how much is blind ignorance, and how much is willful ignorance.

I've heard of this documentary that was produced by Brits. What's the name of it? It escapes me at the moment, but I would like to track it down.

There is more at fault here than the evolution/creation nonsense. I'm sure I don't need to remind educators are crippled by far greater factors, especially since the "no child left behind" bull. I won't even get into how it is not worth them to challenge students as they aren't paid enough and have little respect paid to them. Oh, woeful American education system.

The "Theory of Evolution" is not a process to prove evolution. Evolution is a proven scientific fact. We've watched and recorded it in action. The theory is about studying and discovering the process of how it works.

^Yeah, I was going to post the same thing, Schmerg. You know the racist hick would flip out if someone pointed that out to him.

I couldn't remember where the Scopes trial was exactly, but I wondered if there was that connection as I watched. Forget evolution- these people have proven devolution.

Now come on ya'll, haven't you seen pictures of Adam an Eve? They were White! So the first people no matter whether they evolved or were just plopped here by God were white! Geesh! Has no one learned you nuthin?

Evolution is not proven fully. Neither is a supernatural being that created everything on the earth. No one really knows if God's word via the bible is not just made up, or if there is a god at all. It's blind faith really.

Evolution is about as proven as it ever can or will be. We might discover more examples with further 'in-between' stages of evolution...but essentially the evidence is there already. It clearly happens.

I can understand people believing in a God of some sort, but I certainly can't fathom the ignorance in believing the Bible as fact. The information, the proof, is right there in front of them but the fingers are in the ears with their eyes closed like stubborn children refusing to educate themselves in something they obviously know nothing about.

(British) Channel 4 did an amazing series on the anatomies of 'Natures Giants' and one episode focused on dissecting a gigantic python, and they discovered a leg-like appendage in its belly. I'm not good with the technicalities, but essentially they explained how this was undeniable evidence that this snake evolved from a four legged amphibian. Very interesting stuff.

Evolution is not proven fully.

Yes it is. One needs to only look back two generations to find evidence of evolution.

You seem to be confusing it with the Big Bang Theory, and other theories on how the universe came into existence.

But, evolution (by natural selection) is a certainty.

More Criss wisdom.
