John Scopes Trial?
Question:
Who decided what was taught in Dayton, Tennessee schoo? Who should decide what is taught in the schools? What process should be used?
Also, lets say people are still concerned about whether schools should teach evolution, story of creation, or both? How would you resolve this and give reasons please. Thanks.
Answer:
Oh, that was a sad trial. William Jennings Bryan didn't know what he was talking about, and the arguments used in favor of evolution have virtually all been discredited and thrown out by evolutionists themselves.
The Scopes trial’s significance is that it fueled the public debate over creation and evolution that has continued into the 21st century. The debate has far-reaching implications in our increasingly secular society, since evolution has helped undermine: the validity of the Declaration of Independence that asserts our Creator has endowed men with certain inalienable rights—i.e., life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; our system of government; our civil rights; sanctity of human life; and whether absolute truth exists as the basis of our legal system.
And talk about confusing the kids these days—we put "In God we trust" on our money, but teach atheistic evolution in our schools.
Now, most Christians I know don't want biblical creationism taught in science classes. What we want is for molecules-to-man evolution to be taught with all its warts (they are not even allowed to present evidence that would put evolution in a poor light). And we want intelligent design to at least to be presented. Unlike leprechauns and unicorns, etc., a significant percentage of the population believes in intelligent design.
So many people these days are confusing biblical creationism with intelligent design. "Intelligent Design is the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence" (Dr. William Dembski). That's it; it says nothing of who the creator is and how he/she/it/they did it. Intelligent Design encompasses every "creation" story, even aliens seeding life on this planet.
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with George W. Bush: "Both sides ought to be properly taught . . . so people can understand what the debate is about . . . Part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought . . . You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.”
Good science teaching should include controversies. But, whenever you mention this kind of stuff, evolutionists jump from their trees and start behaving as if someone had stolen their bananas. Apparently, academic freedom is for other subjects.
As Cal Thomas has said, “Why are believers in one model—evolution—seeking to impose their faith on those who hold that there is scientific evidence which supports the other model? It’s because they fear they will lose their influence and academic power base after a free and open debate. They are like political dictators who oppose democracy, fearing it will rob them of power.”

Evolution in education....why are our tax dollars paying for this lie?
Question:
EVOLUTION IN EDUCATION
------------------------------...
"It is the height of bigotry to teach only one view of origins."
-quote from Clarence Darrow, ACLU lawyer, during his defense of John Scopes
------------------------------...
Before the 1930's, creation was the accepted explanation of origins and was taught as fact in American public schools. In 1925, a young science teacher named John Scopes wished to teach evolution to his class. He was forbidden to do so by the Dayton, Tennessee school board, so he took his case to court. In July of that year, an event which shook the foundations of our country took place in the Dayton courthouse, the Scopes "Monkey" Trial. This was the great turning point in our country concerning the creation/evolution in education debate. Even though John Scopes lost his case and was forbidden by law to teach anything other than creation in the classroom, by 1933, evolution was taught alongside creation in American science classes. Today, creation is out, and only evolution is allowed to be taught in the classroom.
Evolution today is taught in schools as a fact. Some institutions may refer to it as theory, but not very many. What is the truth? The truth is, evolution is only a theory, if you approach it via the scientific method. The scientific method allows for the progression of observations into a scientific hypothesis, from there into a theory, and potentially into scientific fact or law. This method is used throughout the scientific community to prove findings. Without this method, anyone could propose any silly idea, and call it fact. For instance, I could observe the fact that slugs here in the Pacific Northwest are larger than slugs in drier climates. From there, I could claim the reason for this anomaly is due to the slugs drinking great northwest coffee and thriving on it. Of course it's nonsense, but that's why scientists use this "scientific method" -- to find objective support for their claims. However, in their rush to embrace evolution - the humanist view on the origins of man, they seem to have bypassed this method. The truth is, evolution has not been subject to direct observation, and cannot be supported or reproduced in experiments. Oh, some will tell you they've observed evolution, but all they've truly observed is small mutations within a species -- quite different from evolution. For all their grand claims, an HONEST scientist will have to agree that evolution is a theory only, and barely one at that.
So why is evolution taught in school as a fact, or at best, a theory? Because the majority of the scientific community will do anything they can to deny the existence of a benevolent, supernatural Creator. They want to believe that all power and divinity in the universe can be found within each person, not in a powerful Almighty God. They wish to deny Him, to deny His power, to deny that we are all subject to someone greater and more powerful than anything we can see, feel, or touch. They miss the fact that evidence of His existence is all around us. They miss the fact that to accept evolution as a fact requires a leap of blind faith. To accept creationism, for which there is an abundance of scientific evidence, requires no blind faith. In order to maintain their comfort and sense of power over self and nature, they must indoctrinate our children at an early age. They teach our children in a religious doctrine though - a doctrine of religious humanism. The first amendment protects us against the government establishment of religion, but religious humanism is taught in our public schools every day, while the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the American Education Association, and humanists everywhere successfully block creationism from being taught. In other words, your children's first amendment rights are violated every day they attend school, with full knowledge and support of your government.
Does it bother you that your children's constitutional rights are violated by their teachers at schools supported by your tax dollars? It should. It doesn't have to be this way. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who should be bothered by this, choose to remain a "silent" majority? If you ARE bothered, then do SOMETHING about it! As one person, you may not change the system. But by adding your voice to millions of others, things CAN change. Please take the time to write to those who represent you in Washington D.C. Follow the link below to contact your congressional representatives. If you wish to email our president directly, please do that as well. However, don't forget to contact your representatives with the votes to legislate. We don't expect to expel the teaching of evolution from public schools. But we must get educators to teach evolution as a hypothesis as opposed to fact, and allow the schools to teach creationism as well. Get involved now, for the sake of your children!

added note, as expected most are not agreeing. This only proves the words of Jesus. Many in the latter days will come as false prophets.
He also said the wide path to hell will be taken by most.
In the beginning was an unexplained puddle of goo. Suddenly, an electric arc shot out of nothingness, creating amino acids. These acids, through pure chance, developed into proteins and eventually the first single-cell organism came into being. Over the course of time, chance favored this cell, and eventually its offspring became every mammal, fish, bird, amphibian, reptile, microbe, and plant on earth today. According to evolutionists, this is the most likely scenario for our existence today. If this were the case, we should be able to go backwards in time and conceptually deconstruct every organism to get to this original cell. However, in nature, certain things defy this deconstruction. Some biological structures are irreducibly complex, which means this theoretical devolution cannot work on them. Irreducible complexities are one of many evidences in nature against Darwinian evolution.
If you pick it, it will bleed: Scabs can be a great source of pride for children, or even adults who are children at heart. A large scab indicates a wound suffered in action – a fall from a bicycle, a tumble down a rocky slope, or a skiing accident on ice-crusted snow. The larger the scab, the more one can savor telling the story of its origin, with rights to embellish the story implicitly given. As children, we were told to not pick our scabs, but such advice was akin to “don’t look down,” invariably producing the result Mom wanted to avoid. These hardened blood clots are also indicative of an irreducibly complex system. While the blood clot itself is relatively simple, the system that regulates the clotting consists of ten finely tuned processes. Says, Behe: “If you make a clot in the wrong place – say, the brain or lung – you’ll die. If you make a clot twenty minutes after all the blood has drained from your body, you’ll die.
If the blood clot isn’t confined to the cut, your entire blood system might solidify, and you’ll die. If you make a clot that doesn’t cover the entire length of the cut, you’ll die. To create a perfectly balanced blood-clotting system, clusters of protein components have to be inserted all at once. That rules out a gradualistic Darwinian approach…”[3] In order to explain how blood-clotting could have developed gradually, evolutionists are forced to paint vague word pictures with generalizations indicating that components “arose” or “sprang forth.” No scientists have effectively described how the components arose, and nobody has performed experiments to show empirically how this gradual development might have occurred. Moreover, the issue of how animals kept from bleeding to death while blood-clotting processes evolved is problematic for the evolutionists. The evidence points toward a creator, rather than evolution.
There are many more examples of irreducible complexity in biology, including aspects of protein transport, closed circular DNA, electron transport, cilia, photosynthesis, transcription regulation, and much more. However, the examples given above are enough to show that Darwin’s theory of slow, successive changes fails to pass the acid test. Do irreducibly complex systems prove the existence of God? No, of course not. However, they are a major hurdle for Darwinian evolution, the pet theory of those who seek to eliminate God as the Creator of life. Good scientists will not allow pre-conceived notions to taint their work, and evolutionists will wag a finger at creationists and intelligent design proponents and accuse them of biased research.
However, evolutionists eliminate the possibility of a supernatural Creator at the outset, and discard evidence that points strongly toward design in nature. While almost every scientist will have a personal bias, the evolutionists are most profoundly known for letting their bias influence their work, rather than objectively following the facts to their most logical conclusion. These men and women on their humanist campaign of junk science will eventually learn the error of their ways, and they will be found without excuse: “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse…. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles” (Romans 1:20,22-23)
Answer:
I fully agree with you. Here is all the Assumptions and denials I found from their own mouths.
One main reason evolutionists and creationists differ in opinion is because they have a different premise. Evolution scientists believe everything originates from a series of changes and can be explained by time, chance, and continuing natural processes that are inherent in the organization of matter and energy. (Creation X) Evolution is commonly applied to the historical development of life and has been expanded into virtually any subject matter all the way to the development of the universe itself. Like most ideas, the Theory of Evolution has evolved into something it was not originally believed to be.
Creationists believe in evolution, but not to the extreme that every living thing evolved from a single cell into the complex organisms of today. In essence evolution means change. Micro-evolution (small changes) within species is a scientific fact that Creationists readily acknowledge (120). However, macro-evolution (tremendous changes) is a belief that is simply not evident in nature.
There are two kinds of Creationism; scientific and Biblical. Scientific creationism bases its beliefs upon the scientific data. In fact, creation scientists believe that scientific creationism and Biblical creationism should be taught independently of each other. Some of the most brilliant scientists in the history of the world were creationists: Newton, Pascal, Pasteur, Galileo, Faraday, Kepler, and so on.
While it is often asserted that Creationism is based on religious beliefs, evolution has its beliefs based in atheism and secular humanism. The Supreme Court has classified atheism and secular humanism as religions. The evolution model is atheistic in nature while the creation model is theistic. One evolutionist wrote an article titled, "Creation 'Science' Is Dishonest." On the contrary, scientists who assert evolution as a "fact" only need to look at the history of their false findings and hoaxes of man's "missing links" to see their hypocrisy (156 and 159). It is one thing to personally believe in evolution and relate it and all evidence associated with it as circumstantial, but to assert it as a "fact" is unethical and prejudicial.
Another reason why creation scientists view things so differently from evolutionists is simply a matter of differing interpretation of the data. Even evolutionists do not agree with one another because of differing interpretations of the data, especially when it comes to biological classifications. So, why are creation scientists shunned?
Evidence for evolution can be interpreted in different ways. Comparing anatomical similarities between different organisms can provide evidence for evolution. The forelimb in vertebrate animals can be compared bone for bone. The upper arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers are distinguishable (53 and Britannica 7:9). While evolutionists contend that this is evidence of, "descent from a common ancestor (evolution)" creationists believe that this is no more than proof of, "a common design (creation)."
A second piece of evidence for evolution is shown in the development of organisms. The embryonic stage of development is so similar that a frog, chicken, salamander, or human embryo are virtually indistinguishable. Evolutionists believe these amazing similarities show how organs and structures have changed their form and function with evolution. Creationists show what evolutionists call "useless evolutionary leftovers" are in reality necessary functional structures (62 and 66).
A third source of evidence that evolutionists use comes from chemical evolution or "hot soup" as Dr. Stanley Miller calls it. In 1953 he conducted an experiment using a "primordial solution" along with an electrical discharge to simulate lightning. He became successful in producing amino acids commonly found in nature. Creationists hold that it is no more than science fiction that would make a scientist conclude that life could result from a hypothetical chemical evolutionary process. There is no evidence to support this kind of speculation.
A forth source of evidence is related to genetics. This evidence relies on the process of mutation in order to validate the theory of evolution. In the documentary Genetics: Patterns of Diversity it concludes, "But still, the controversy remains. The challenge to Darwin's theory is to explain these molecular changes in terms of natural selection." There are many other challenges to Darwin's theory. Creationist Dr. Parker states:
Evolutionists assume that all life started from one or a few chemically evolved life forms with an extremely small gene pool. For evolutionists, enlargement of the gene pool by selection of random mutations is a slow, tedious process that burdens each type with a "genetic load" of harmful mutations and evolutionary leftovers.
...The creationist mechanism works and it's consistent with what we observe. The evolutionist assumption doesn't work, and it's not consistent with what we presently know of genetics and reproduction. As a scientist, I tend to prefer ideas that do work and do help to explain what we can observe. (Creation 115)
It is an established fact that mutations can not be the mechanism that explains the process of evolution because it leads to the destruction of the organism.
Now, the creation model for variety that Parker refers to is the genetic square (114). This is the mechanism which is believed to have caused differences among people at the Biblical "Tower of Babel" incident. "Variation within created types" is a scientific fact (107). This is the (creationist) mechanism by which we observe such diversity among organisms. Evolutionists try to exaggerate this scientific fact to further their claims. The fact is, as Dr. Gary Parker wrote, "Creationists don't believe that frogs turn into princes... but rather that frogs and people were separately created from the same kinds of molecular 'building blocks'". The creationist mechanism works!
The fifth and most popular source of evidence used by evolutionist stems from the fossil record. Evolutionist Jay Savage states, "We do not need a listing of evidences to demonstrate the fact of evolution..." (V). Encyclopaedia Britannica (14:376) under a section called "The speculative nature of phylogeny [via fossil record]" states, "...judgements of relationships among organisms are almost always based upon incomplete evidence..." This means assumptions are used to fill in the missing pieces of evidence. Britannica also states, "The overwhelming majority of species that have ever lived have long since been extinct and with them the connecting links necessary for the direct demonstration of the descent of modern organisms from common ancestors." This statement shows that the evidence does not exist for Savage to "demonstrate the fact of evolution." He sidesteps the scientific process and logic thereby showing his bias thereby discrediting himself, his profession and the theory.

Did You Know That Today is a Historic Time?
Question:
On this day in 1925, John Thomas Scopes, a teacher in Dayton, Tennessee, was put on trial for teaching evolution to his students. He was found guilty, fined $100, but eventually, the verdict was reversed.
It was actually a trial between lawyers. There was William Jennings Bryan, who was an orator, noted for making long, flowery speeches. There was Clarence Darrow, famed for his courtroom skill, who was an agnostic. There was Scopes, who battled for the right to teach his students scientific theory.
One cannot help but wonder what the verdict from such a trial would be in today's world. The Christian Right has inserted many Biblical phrases in our textbooks and believe that God is banned from schools because of the Separation of Church and State, meant to ensure religious freedom.
If you were on the jury of a trial similar to Scopes', would you be in favor of banning the teaching of Evolution to students, or would you agree with Darrow, who called the trial a "witchhunt"?
Answer:
As a native Tennessean I wish the Scopes "monkey trial" had happened some where else. From the first the majority of us have been embarrassed by it. I would duck the whole issue by teaching both in the name of free speech. It was and is a stupid conflict. Still it did prove the right to disagree and freedom existed in America when you think of it. At least no one has been burned at the stake for evolution or against it here yet. The way some folks want every body to agree with them though it might yet happen.....Volunteer state does not stand for a football team. But we don't like our freedom messed with for the most part. That is what we fight for. There is an old saying that what the government in DC and Nashville does not know won't bother them or us. That expresses our attitude in a nut shell. And unfourantely for George W. Bush we expect a leader to lead and in war to be like Andrew Jackson, David Glasgow Farrauget, or Nathan Bedford Forrest. In other words to keep our respect requires being a genius at war and leading from the front. Even the majority of the Tennesseans who voted for him in 2001 have decided he is a military idiot and don't like his policies. We don't want another King George. We helped send the last one packing with his Earls, Lords, and Sir's and we don't want the same grown in America.....

Where is the rudest place you've ever visited? How bad was it?
Question:
In my personal experience, these places have all been pretty bad (in no particular order):
1. Dayton, Ohio
2. Southern Indiana (Evansville particularly, although Corydon is pretty nice)
3. Kentucky (the entire state, especially Louisville, Lawrenceburg, and Frankfort. However, far western KY is pretty nice.) This actually is my least favorite of all, they have "It's that friendly" on their license plates, but it's a hoax.
4. Washington, DC and suburban areas
5. Orlando, FL
6. Northern New Jersey
7. NYC (in parts, but all in all it's not too bad)
If you live in any of these places, feel free to agree or disagree. Why do you feel the way you do? And, of course, if there are other place(s) that come to mind, list those. Would you ever go back to these place(s)?
Personally, I LIKE Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee (especially west of Knoxville,) Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.
Answer:
Hobby airport in Houston Texass It took Lil old me over a hour to get through security. Don't EVER buy a cash ticket the day before you fly from Houston to Orlando they will think you are a drug dealer and search you and all your luggage even checked !

Where are the rudest people in the U.S. (geographically speaking)? Friendliest folks? How bad & good?
Question:
There are people everywhere with good and bad attitudes, I know; however, in some places, one attitude tends to prevail among people more than another.
-Kentucky...most of it! Louisville (tops), Lawrenceburg, Frankfort, and Winchester take the cake! The only exceptions are Murray, Cadiz, Mayfield, and Harrodsburg. Talk about some mannerless, mean-spirited folks. (I've lived here, I should know.)
-Evansville, IN
-Dayton, OH
-Manhattan, KS
-Illinois
-Detroit
-Northern New Jersey
-California (most of the state, especially the large cities)
-Phoenix
Nicer places:
-Texas (except Dallas and the very tourist-oriented sites)
-Alabama (mostly)
-Mississippi (especially Southhaven and Jackson)
-Louisiana (except New Orleans)
-Oklahoma City
-Tulsa
-Corydon, IN
-Tennessee (except for Knoxville and Chattanooga)
-Atlanta, GA...surprisingly
-Michigan (the rural areas)
The TOP list: RUDEST folks
The BOTTOM list: FRIENDLIEST folks
Sorry I forgot to specify both of those.
Answer:
I believe the south is the least friendly. The south has a dark legacy of slave-owning. Owning another human being has to be just about the rudest and most unfriendly act!

Is Evolutionism a Farce?
Question:
I typed it on the microsoft word and then moved it to here.
you made that website after i made this so you stole it from me to confuse people but nice try :)
no you already had the website before and it only takes a few minutes to add a page which is what you did with my work so just STOP TALKING
Answer:
Ah, now you're stooping to plagiarism. Tsk! Tsk! Did you know that is illegal and unethical? If you turned this piece - which YOU, obviously, did not write - in in my class, you'd be looking at a zero and possible suspension for academic fraud.
R&S: To report for theft of intellectual property or not?

JaCK: If you want to steal other people's work and claim it as your own, you'd better learn to disguise it better. Google will kill you every time. And if you think your teachers don't use it and other. more specialized cheat exposer programs, you are stupider than you already appear to be.

If I am overlooking it someone please point where it is! Thanks!
I don't understand why is Obama not on the list, all these people took a stand since day one! WHY can't I find his name, I am so disappointed!
Dave, these people on THAT day took a position, anyone can say anything to the contrary now, like take the popular position, but is that the SAME as voting THAT DAY with the info you have? Maybe that Dennis K. should be the nominee he is on the list! FROM DAY ONE!
He is trying to have his cake and eat it too, he did not campaign for a seat in the US Senate until 2 years after the war began, at that point anyone knew it was not a good war!
no where am I a Hillary supporter, she is better than Obama but neither will beat McCain!
Answer:
No he's not on there he's a shyster double-talking lawyer, inexperienced candidate, and vicious manipulator, who should prove himself in the Senate, not use his deep pockets to smear Hillary 24/7 and undermine a Democrat win!
Great Question and Documentation ;-)

What were the NCAA tourney selection committee smoking???
Question:
Ok, I've been filling out brackets for like 20 years, and I know it can't be easy to make up the draw, but I've never had as big a problem with it as this year. This is the stupidest bracket I've ever seen!
Tennessee with the second best RPI in the country gets a 2 seed???
How did Kentucky get in? 57 rpi? 18-12? Oregon's RPI was 58 and they got a 9 seed? But Dayton, 32nd rpi, 2 wins against top 25 teams, gets the shaft !?
Indiana is an 8... AN 8! - with a 23 rpi ?!?! Gonzaga, Miami, & West Virginia all have worse rpi's than IU, but all got 7 seeds. Oklahoma & USC also had worse rpi's & got 6 seeds?
Butler was ranked top 20 almost all year by coaches and sportswriters gets a 7 seed? They were 29-3 with a 17 rpi! Plus they have to play South Alabama AT Birmingham?
Drake with the 10th RPI gets a 5 seed?
The whole "last 10 games" argument doesn't hold water either. Worst selection committee ever!
To quote Walter from the Big Lebowski: "am I wrong? AM I WRONG?"
what more is there than RPI?
It combines your strength of schedule, opponents strength of schedule, your wins, losses, and who you beat or got beat by, on the road or at home.
The RPI takes into account all of those things.
Answer:
I have to agree with you, I know there are always some disagreements on the teams that should/shouldn't be there, but this years seems to be the worse that I can remember.
