Poll on the McCain/Palin Presidential Ticket (65)

Sorry about veering off topic.

Obie....you know exactly what I said in the post was a limit presentation of the concept. One that gave a introduction of a debated issue.

You go to a court room.....and you are juror. The prosecution make a case. Then before the defense makes his case....the prosecutor walks over places a gag in the defense attonrey mouth. The judge says....to the jurors....go render your verdict. Fair trail? No hardly right?

Obie by keeping the concept of creationsim out of our schools, is it not similar to this?

About 3 year agos, I attended a two hour presentation by a Christian archelogist.....a bone collector....with solid scienctific credentials....he brought in several 100 bones and 100s of slides of the all the various known evolutionary links....then he began to dissolve the meat around the Darwin theory of evolution.

He begins to show how much time it would take for this evolution jump to be made from one jaw bone to the next. OK?......same with thighs...hands....thumbs....skulls....and so on. In other words for evolution to occur the way Darwin is saying it did.....all these various body parts have to make the evolution jumbs together....and right there is a problem....what is the probablity of it happening? Because each time you add a body part/bone....that probability factor grows.

Obie by the time he is finished......modern man has so many missing links to these early primates bones..... it is hard to see how the evolution could occur....and it would take so long for the evolution to occur.....that it does not fit in the timeline of Earth's ancient history that we done by carbon dating of artifacts of the times.

He eventually came back to a creationist position of man. Not totally in line with the Biblical story of Adam and Eve.......but from a spiritual aspect of man origins....intelligent design in other words.

Whom am I....not being an expert archelogist....to say that the Darwin archelogist has 'the answer' and that this Christian/Creationist archelogist does not? Or vice verse? What I am saying is that in the academic debate, both should be heard. That takes me back to my court room example of earlier. You would hardly consider that a fair trial to have one of the attroneys gagged. But that is what is happeing when schools/teachers cannot at least have some minimual class time to creationism.

Everyone wants to be judge and jury on this issue of evolution/creationism. And to take sides of this or that being the answer. Me? I am just going to keep an open mind to both positions....and want both be given fair excess and chance to be heard.

Hey I don't mind you jumping out of thread topic.......just as the leap of faith you make is one that is reachable.:-)
