SIGH [Andrew Stuttaford]

While the benefits to a company’s shareholders (as opposed to the advantages in terms of prestige for its management) of corporate sponsorships, charitable giving and the like often escape me this is still depressing:

“An exhibition celebrating the life of Charles Darwin has failed to find a corporate sponsor because American companies are anxious not to take sides in the heated debate between scientists and fundamentalist Christians over the theory of evolution. The entire $3 million (£1.7 million) cost of Darwin, which opened at the American Museum of Natural History in New York yesterday, is instead being borne by wealthy individuals and private charitable donations.”

As the Derb has said, repeatedly, there is no “debate”, at least in the rational sense of the word.

I like the xian pc pix of Noah's Ark with the dinosaurs. Dammit, the world started in 4004 BC (on October 27) and so the dinos had to live along with the rest of us...

... but them dam pesky non-xians keep wondering why, if Noah saved Brontosaurus Rex, he ain't around now anyway. Did Noah fuck up?

Xian art says they were there so what's the story?

Evolution is a completely unimportant idea. The world got along without it fine all those millenia, and even if the Christians stamped it out completely now, what the hell difference would it make? None.

The world "got along fine" without understanding the bernoulli effect, yet I think we all agree that having air travel has somewhat improved human life.

The theory of evolution won't help you build a machine or do any damn thing. It's not like Darwin can help us evolve wings and fly, now is it?

Are you familiar with something that is often alluded to in racialist circles known as "Eugenics"? That is related to evolution and natural selection.

I am shocked and appalled to see an alleged WN actually praising and supporting ignorance over knowledge.

He said no such thing. You are implying it. Keep showcasing your "debating style", and everyone will eventually get your number.


KILL YOUR TV! Or at least stop taking it more seriously than a goldfish.

I'm not supporting creationism, I'm just saying it doesn't make any difference what you or they believe on this topic. None, whatsoever. It's a dead end, pointless thing to argue about, which is no doubt why our press spends a lot of time jabbering about it.

I think a world that bragged about blue blood and noble families and had LAWS against race mixing knew about eugenics, they didn't need Darwin on that point. And Mendel came a long time before Darwin, didn't he?

Here's an example: My dad went to Catholic school, he went to college on the GI Bill, got a white collar job, worked for the same company his whole life, went to Mass on Sunday, raised a houseful of kids, left my mother well off, and I have no idea what he believed on this subject.

And you know what? It just doesn't matter what he believed about that.

But these evolutionist activists so concerned about the future are the same ones who will tell your kid race doesn't matter, and we all came out of Africa, and women are really superior if men would stop holding them back...blah, blah, blah.

Survival of the fittest is circular, as Tom Bethell pointed out.

Evolution. like Christinsanity is a RELIGION. Both are little more than weak theories based on limited knowledge of facts. Neither has been or will be proven. In fact evolution, like every other religion, has been largely DISPROVEN. I see no difference between evolutionists and religionists. It figures they get along so well.

Obviously you have bought into the lies of the Creationist movement. Evolution is a "theory" in the scientific sense, not the colloquial sense. There is undeniable proof that evolution has taken place- the questions about evolution are related to its mechanisms and other periphrial issues.

Here's a site that will arm you against Creationist rhetoric.

If you want to read about anomalies which don't jibe with evolution, this is a great book. However, I warn evangelicals that this is not a pro-creationist book. It's written by an eminent British biologist. I think people who may have read Thomas Kuhn's famous book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" will enjoy this book the most. I have been recommending it on this forum for years and as far as I know, nobody has ever read it on my advice. Alas! Any takers? Would I steer you guys wrong? Come on!

From Publishers Weekly
Biochemist Sheldrake maintains that if a pigeon in London learns a new habit, then pigeons everywhere else will automatically show an increasing tendency to learn the same habit. He holds that invisible energy patterns or "morphogenetic fields" surround and shape all atoms, all crystals, all pigeons and all humans. In his astonishing theory, any natural systemwhether insulin molecules, dandelions or societiesinherits a collective memory from all previous members of that group. Experimental evidence for Sheldrake's hypothesis is inconclusive but tantalizing. If true, it would force a radical revision of our understanding of genetics, evolution, memory, learning. Many books on the "new physics" and the paranormal have discussed Sheldrake's ideas, but his own explanation of morphic resonance is the most lucid and exciting account to date. He uses the theory here to suggest how creation myths and rituals connect past and present.

From Library Journal
In his A New Science of Life ( LJ 5/15/82), Sheldrake put forward the hypothesis of "formative causation" to explain evolutionary development. In this book, he focuses on "morphic resonance," one aspect of the hypothesis, and describes how morphic fields influence organisms to develop in a given way. He contends that morphic fields shape the expression of genetic characteristics and the evolution of behavior and social structures, and discusses how field theories from physics, ideas about the "collective unconscious" in the social sciences, and evolutionary theories in the life sciences may relate to one another. A book for specialists, most appropriate for academic philosophy of science collections. Laurie Tynan, Montgomery Cty.

Evolution is fact -- happening right now as we speak...

Wtf are you talking about?!?

Seems as though you're the one possessing a "limited knowledge of facts" there, Sporto.
