Failure to even be able to conceive or devise a test or observation for a theory does not automatically prove the theory is false, it only means the theory is: Untested. I didn't say it was proven false. I said it is not scientific because no experiment can be done. In other words unfalsifiable. Se...

Can we avoid the personal attacks please. A lot of people seem to get hung up on science proving truth. It is correct to say that science does not prove that a hypothesis is true beyond a shadow of a doubt that it always happens and would not happen any other way forever and ever. However science re...

First I want to thank everyone for trying to keep within the 2 questions. I know it is difficult sometimes but I see you are trying. One thing I want to clear up is I am not calling evolution loony as a religious belief, however I am saying it is loony to call it a valid scientific theory. Now, ther...

Ok, lemme say, I'm a Christian. And you have to step around the subject a little bit to answer it, with an open mind. I don't believe evolution is true, but I think they should teach the "theory of evolution". If they stress it's a theory, that's okay. But if you want Christ in schools, y...

1) Evolution, whether true or not, should be taught. You didn't answer "Evolution is true therefore it must be taught" If you think the big bang is true you need to answer... Please show me the experiment done that ended in true that supports the big bang hypothesis that matter came from ...

Atheism is only a religon if it's taken as fact and not a theory. They're teaching religon if that's "how it is" as opposed to constantly reminding students "this is how it could've happened". Because evolution is so widely accepted and is the basis for many scientific fields, i...

Here is a nice simple chart showing the scientific method.

Please show me the experiment done that ended in true that supports the big bang hypothesis that matter came from nothing.

Let me cover some things brought up so far. Atheism is not a religion: Well that is splitting hairs in my opinion. It takes faith to believe that everything created itself. If it makes more sense to you just use Humanism for every time I said atheism. To me they are the same. If someone wants to dis...

Thwart, you're being intentionally ignorant. A simple pass through wikipedia would have set anything that you said straight. It's funny how you mentioned wikipedia since their board is composed of evolutionists and they get hostile when anyone brings up creation. Just look up creation there and you...

Science is the study of theory, some of it proven some of it not but all of it belongs to everyone and no one is excluded from it regardless of their belief or skepticism and it is practiced by most cultures and countries so it is secular and nondiscriminatory as well as being a quest for raw knowl...

That is the definition of "theology".

I wonder what the "Study of Atheism" is called? Oh yeah, evolution

Spidey wrote:Actually “Science” is “The Study of”…so there goes that theory.

If that was the case then the "Study of God" would be permitted in government schools.

Atheists want everyone to believe that anything that does not involve God is science so their religion looks like science.

Have you ever noticed that the atheists are fine with government schools supposed \"lack of religion\". There is a very simple answer for this. Only their religion is being taught. However government is very careful not to call it that, instead they call it science. It helps to understand ...

thwart, as much as charity does a lot of good for those in need, there's no way they can possibly supply the demand for those who can't afford it. There's far too many in need in this country and healthcare now has gotten too expensive and technical for churches and other charities to even begin to...

Excellent idea. Make government follow their own laws. Why someone would be against this is almost beyond belief. It is sad so many have been duped to believe government has all the answers. They can't even balance their own checkbook. Socialist health care is wrong in so many ways: 1) It is unconst...

Expecting insurance prices to go down because there are now fewer smokers ... is like expecting the price of gas to go down because because there are fewer car accidents .... It's not gonna happen. That is exactly what I am saying. Smoking has nothing to do with the price of health insurance. It is...

thwart

Well the point is is there are less people smoking not more and health insurance rates are skyrocketing. If anything they should be the same. Even 40 years ago there wasn't a dramatic increase in smoking. Quite a few people get cancer and other expensive to treat diseases and they have never smoked....

thwart

Ever heard the one that says that smokers cause high health insurance? Well if that was in any shape or form true then health insurance would be going down. There are quite a few less smokers now than 20 years ago and health insurance is going through the roof. Critical thinking is frowned upon in t...

One of the reasons evolution is such a hot debated topic is because it is not science. It is a religious belief. I made that point in another forum which is strangely blocked by this site?? Real science doesn't require faith (i.e. "believe" in evolution). Science is proven by experimentati...

Is there any way a PS2 on a LAN could be hacked by someone on the internet and used as a sniffer, etc? The reason why I ask is my son wants to get a network card for his PS2 and I don't want my network compromised.
