  1. Make a video on that.

  2. what history did the left wing change? There was NO Leftwing back in the 15th and 16th century when the oldest translations into English were done. And biologists named STEVE who believe in evolution outnumber the total number who say "god did it with magic".

  3. go easy on him, he is from sweden and English is probably his eighth or ninth language. Most of these cretinists don't speak English as well as he does.

  4. Why do you not simply staple a copy of the Koran into every bible while you are at it?

  5. No, dont let him have guns, whatever you do.

  6. They do not suffer from ignorance. They enjoy it. They sing songs about it, and smoke crystal meth and enjoy polishing their guns while waiting for glorious Armageddon.

  7. The western world controls the resources, even the resources of nations in which they do not have any people on the ground. Western nations have the highest standard of living in the world. I am talking here about Western Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea. All secular nations.

  8. Actually, it will be found in a book. Once we work out what the truth is, we put it in books in order to disseminate these facts into the world.

  9. The only claims that Darwin refuted evolution came from one fundamentalist christian who never met him, and certainly did not look after him on his death bed (his relatives looked after him on his death bed). Are you getting your information from Kent Hovind?
    1
  10. religion is like a kangaroo court. No evidence, no plaintiff no defendant no lawyers just a prejudged conclusion, with the self appointed judge passing judgement without even looking at either the lawbooks or any evidence.
    1
  11. Religion is more like the glue in the gears. Europe is mostly secular now. France especially is almost fundamentally secular. And they are doing very well for themselves. Their cities are not literally falling apart like the Rustbelt cities, literacy rates are as close to 100% as you can get, life expectancy, all much higher than the US. Oh and by your logic, China should be the one crumbling, being atheist. But you contradict yourself by saying it will take over.
    1
  12. Of course, they could increase their budget and teach BOTH...
    1
  13. So every fact in textbooks should now have a couterargument, ie, bullshit?
    1
  14. ... otherwise they would be praying in their closets.
    1
  15. Have you seen the organisations that do homeschooling in America? Most of them are extreme religious organisations that cater to those who do not want their kids to be exposed to anything secular, whether it be science, other kids, or electronics.
    1
  16. the smarter texans really have to stand out more if you do not want them to be generalised. All those rocket scientists in Houston really have to stand up and be counted.
    1
  17. They don't believe higher education to be necessary unless it is Bob Jones University or Liberty University or that shack in the middle of nowhere that Hovind got his doctorate.
    1
  18. We do not know 100% of the events of evolution, the fossil record can never be complete, because an extremely tiny proportion of the animals that lived (less than one in a billion) made it to becoming fossils. But we know it happened. That is indisputable.

  19. he was raised muslim, but no longer believes.
    1
  20. Orwellian, not only a cautionary tale, a guidebook too.
    1
  21. which wars have been caused by lack of religion?
    1
  22. ... atomic theory, germ theory...
    1
  23. Stalin learned a lot from his time in the seminary...
    1
  24. My version of Pascals wager. There are LOTS of versions of gods out there, and if I choose to worship one, every single other god will become very, very pissed. So I worship no god at all.
    1
  25. Actually, peoples vision in western countries needs correction, because our eyes are not suited as much to modern lifestyles, watching computer screens for hours on end, whereas in less developed areas, (A) they are not under constant stress, (B) they are not needed as much for reading and other close up work, and (C) those with poor vision tend to have accidents more and die sooner.
    1
  26. they could start by NOT TEACHING ANY OF THAT RELIGIOUS CRAP. Strange how every school in every other developed nation can stretch the budget to include everything that is necessary for teaching children, but when it comes to evolution or civics or history or science, Americans can't quite do it.
    1
  27. My edited bible would be just a few scraps of paper telling people to be nice to eachother and the bit where Jesus tells all christians to pray in the closet.

  28. .... Not quite monkeys, more the ancestors of us (and monkeys and mice and donkeys and three toed sloths and chickens and toads and coelecanths and tree lizards and marmosets and trees and stinkbugs) were, at some point in the distant past, one and the same, in some cases billions of years ago. These people are scientists who have studied all the fossils and genetic codes and embryos and physiology and all come to the same conclusion, whereas the creationists can't even agree on which god did it

  29. Adnan okhtar, otherwise known as Harun Yahya, is responsible for this rash of evangelical islamic cretinism in Turkey. He publishes very dishonest magazines and books at very cheap prices (being financed by islamic radicals) and sues ANYBODY who says anything that disagrees with his worldview. He has also managed to get a lot of scientific websites blocked throughout turkey. He is Kent Hovind with power and money.
    1
  30. the same was true for John Paul II.
    1
  31. you are so far down the FOX rightwing rabbit hole you are not even aware which way is up anymore.
    1
  32. and Matt Dillahunty. It is not the big cities that are the problem... It's the bits in between.
    1
  33. It is only a majority in certain states. Surely it must be only a majority in certain states. PLEASE let it only be a majority in certain states.
    1
  34. HAIL MARDAK!
    1
  35. The lies coming from FOX and biblical creationists and libertarians and Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck and the televangelists and Bush and Cheney and Bob Jones University and Kent Hovind and howtheworldworks and Limbaugh and the GOP and Liberty University and so many other rightwing people and organisations as to dwarf any lies that the leftwing comes up with. In fact, a lot of the "leftwing lies" you are talking about are simply rightwing distortions of things that leftwingers have said.
    1
  36. Actually we have witnessed new species evolve. It takes thousands of generations, but we have seen it in microbes.
    1
  37. Why do you think humans are a special case?
    1
  38. the theory IS falsifiable. Just find an animal or organ or whatever that can not possibly have evolved, and there you go.
    1
  39. If science proves the existence of god, I hardly think it would end up being the christian or islamic or jewish god or the gods of any of the other religions. They are just too self contradictory. But science has not proven the existence of god, it has simply disproven all the gods that we currently have.
    1
  40. why?
    1
  41. It is because those with money like people to be gullible customers. They like people being ignorant, paying tithes to their churches, who in turn, preach whatever the rightwingers want. That is why the rightwing reached out to the churches in the first place: It is where they keep the gullible people.

  42. Of course, the giant reptiles didnt go into the ark thats why they drowned... There was not even enough room on the ark to house enough food and fresh water for two elephants
    1
  43. They have all kinds of missing links, early whales and early bats and early primates, and early mammals and early horses, but it does not matter to these zeebs, they always want us to provide further proof, and some of it is simply not there, as the animals in question did not get fossilised. No, look in the genetics, Genetics tell us more than the fossils can.
    1
  44. I don't have to. Dawkins has written some very well thought out and researched books.
    1
  45. At the moment, the word "intellectual" is being used as some kind of curse. They are deliberately trying to destroy the most intelligent in the community, and trying to choke them off at the source, i.e. they are trying to stop people from getting an effective education.
    1
  46. the teachers in some areas have a really bad choice to make. They either say evolution is "just a theory" or state it as fact and prepare for a massive backlash from uneducated cretins.
    1
  47. Which god do you love? The one who destroyed the world through flood without leaving any evidence at all? Or the one that destroyed cities, or the one that caused his chosen people to wander a desert that could be crossed in eight days on foot for FORTY YEARS?
    1
  48. The problem with lies that it only takes one person to lie, and a whole bunch of people will repeat it believing it to be the honest truth.
    1
  49. So he refuses any money unless it is no strings attached, just a giveaway... Who does he think he is? AIG?

  50. Actually, every creature evolves. Depending on how ill suited a creature is to its environment, mutations in its descendants that are more suited to that environment will give the descendants a better chance of survival. If a being is very well suited to its environment, then the descendants will not change all that much. And some lines of descent can't adapt, and so become extinct.
    1
  51. ... except the organisations that support homeschooling are often the very kinds of organisations that are behind prayer in schools and against evolution.
    1
  52. ... otherwise they would all be praying in the closet.
    1
  53. remember when Orwell was a cautionary tale and not a guidebook?
    1
  54. That is exactly what they are trying to do in Texas. They are trying to force their own beliefs on everybody, by banning real science from science textbooks. And the reason there is no half human half donkey running around, is that the common ancestor between us and the donkeys is extinct. They were replaced by other species, ones that developed from that common ancestor, those being the donkeys, people, horses, monkeys, lemurs and everything else evolved from that common ancestor.

  55. The progressives are doing the fighting, but we are not fighting dirty... And we should not, because doing so destroys credibility.
    1
  56. The problem is that there are a massive number of texans who DO believe in that crap. They are giving you a bad name.

  57. The Renaissance was caused largely by an influx of Arabic and Greek scholars who were fleeing persecution at the hand of Islamic zealots, who had decided to burn the libraries.
    1
  58. Look at the kind of christianity Xe (formerly blackwater) are spreading in Iraq.
    1
  59. Those human footprints found alongside dinosaur footprints were carved into that rock in the 1930s. Close examination shows evidence of them being carved into the rock using steel tools.
    1
  60. winning money for texas.
    1
  61. Unconstitutional. Unless they omit the "under god" part.
    1
  62. Actually, it is worse than that. No publishing house will put out a one state edition. It is not economically practical. So all the cretinists have to do is get legislation including cretinism in text books in ONE state, maybe Utah or Wyoming, and ALL states will be forced to have cretinism included in science books, along with any countries which import American text books.
    1
  63. The thing is, it is a scientific theory.With scientific theory, like evolution or gravity or nuclear or germ theory, the theory is the unifying key, the scientific explanation, one that has withstood intense examination.
    1
  64. because learning about evolution helps science progress, helps us understand how certain diseases develop the way they do, help us create better crops, helps us control vermin, there are hundreds of benefits in learning about evolution.
    1
  65. The Western world became dominant because they were the first to undergo the industrial revolution and they were the ones that went through the Enightenment and before that the Renaissance. And why did this happen? Because the Arabs dropped the ball by burning the libraries and kicking out the scientists. These people spread "reality based learning" where they studied the world and drew their conclusions from that instead of some Holy Book.
    1
  66. Maybe none of your religious people accept evolution because when they see how the holy books contradict reality, they either ignore reality and choose to remain religious, or stop believing in the religious texts, and cease to be muslim.
    1
  67. Even the Pope John Paul II has said that there is nothing inconsistant between catholic belief and evolution.
    1
  68. Actually, they did accept the stimulus money, but they did not label it as stimulus. And the big cities of Texas (the real powerhouses, Houston, Austin, Dallas, etc) are far more liberal than the rest of Texas. Oh yes, and they have oil. Anybody can be rich if they have oil under their houses.
    1
  69. I suggest you read about the Theory of Evolution then. Go read Dawkins. He is a very good source, maybe the Blind Watchmaker or The God Delusion. Or Bryson's A short history of nearly everything. Scientific theory, like evolution and germ theory and atomic theory and gravitational theory and so forth are more than theories, they are the theories behind the facts. They are the underpinnings of modern science, without which it is impossible to understand the world nearly as good as we do.

  70. It is hard and dangerous to remove a crazy man from the drivers seat. But the consequences of not doing that are far worse.
    1
  71. Actually, no. We should ALL try to become more scientifically literate. And the only way to spread scientific literacy is to talk about science. Even if our knowledge is somewhat vague, just so long as we do not spread disinformation.
    1
  72. 1) check. If there was a being that was not explainable by evolution, the theory would be history. 2) again, check 3) check 4) done.
    1
  73. Unfortunately when intelligent people speak in some parts of the US, it sounds "faggy" to them. They call these people "libruls" and call them the devil.
    1
  74. In what way? Evolution is a scientific fact. It is proven over and over.
    1
  75. Slowly pulling out? What is being slowly pulled out?
    1
  76. ... Wyoming... Utah...

  77. You gotta open the door and push the crazy christian conservative white people out of the drivers seat. Otherwise you are going to go off the cliff like Thelma and Louise. It may already be too late.
    1
  78. How christian of you.
    1
  79. What they WANT to believe in? This is not about teaching them WHAT to think, this is telling them how to go about thinking. And simply preaching the god thing over and over, is not teaching people how to think. It Teach them evolution, and teach them also HOW EVOLUTION CAME ABOUT, what studies led scientists to that conclusion. It is a valuable tool to teach the scientific method.

  80. The fossil record is incomplete because of the unlikely process a being has to undergo in order to become a fossil. It has to die, not be eaten by predator,scavenger or microbe, it has to be buried in anerobic mud, this mud must harden and the minerals in that mud have to replace the structures of the being in question. Less than 1% of 1% of 1% get fossilised, the rest go back into the foodchain.If you want conclusive, complete proof, look at genetics, not fossils.
    1
  81. Radical left? What are they doing wrong?
    1
  82. he got teh stupid by osmosis.

  83. Communism and religion have a lot in common: Marx and Engels were prophets, Lenin,the Messiah, Mao, Castro, Guevara and Stalin were saints, and their dogma even had a promise of a glorious utopian afterlife in which everybody has a fair share of the wealth and the state withers away.
