Florida mandates students must learn evolution

[ShadowBoxing]

It makes me edgy when people speak of evolution and use the X-Men as an example...I'm just making sure the distinction is understood, mang.

I just assume not use (for me) comics/movies/television as a way to show I understand a concept in the first place

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Well while your at it you should probably tour the hundreds of museums that have this same diagram and explain to patrons that the diagrams are not totally accurate.

Btw way to add an insult to the debate

I think ALL museums make a note that Man and Ape have a common ancestor that is neither ape nor man.
or at least they do in the Museums I've gone to.

What debate? You slapped up a silly and out-dated picture that practically flies in the face of established evolutionary theory. The reason it's at so many museums is because it's one of the most recognized images associated with evolution.

Besides, it's not like my, "insult," doesn't have merit. You constantly ***** when people throw out words you don't know and accuse them of trying to seem smarter, when in reality they feel it's the most efficient way to make their point...you know, assuming the reader isn't verbally challenged.

It's freaky how many people do, though.

Yes, well, we are on a comic book message board.

Mike goes to look at the pretty pictures...not to read! Jeez, what fun or use is that?

Point taken.

For those of you wondering why hes talking to me like an illiterate jackass:
Actually I was pointing out the fact in another thread that people who were trying to keep up with the other human-dictionaries were attempting to use the same terms/phrases as the others were, which wasnt making the debate any more or less than the others who havent. So excuse the hell out of me if I didnt know what "micro-evolution" was.

Have I pointed this flaw out in this thread? Or any others? No. Your just pissed at me because when you posted a picture of yourself in the photo album thread, I pointed out the fact that you look like the sloth from "Goonies".

BTW I was pointing out the fact that the reason why people think we all evolved from apes is well, because, of all the ****ing diagrams. Find me one that doesnt portray man evolving from a damn monkey.

And THIS guy is just mad because I debated with him in an illegal-drug use thread almost a year ago.

I should probably stop debating with people. I'm not making very many friends

Congratulations, that's the first time you've spelled, "you're," correctly.

Your argument is crap, by the way. Nice backtracking.

we started as single celled organisms. see that natural sponge in the kitchen? yea those were our friends, years back.

It's amazing that they're considered animals. It's like, "WTF?"

 

[J. J. Jameson]

I don't see how this is news. Wasn't evolution taught in the first place? So be it. I don't think it is fair, however, to only teach evolution. There are other ideas out there, and I think it's only proper that they be given an equal chance.

Wow, Florida does something right. This is a good start for them.

WTF? There's already a place to learn about religion and those origin theories: it's called church. Leave it be.

how about debating without the namecalling?

thanks

It's all right Morg, already got a warning from The Albafan. All is well.

 

[Danalys]

i just thought i'd point out that humans are apes technically. so the whole ape conversation above was a bit of a waste. monkeys however aren't apes.

are the other ideas supported in scientific evidence and thus classifiable as science?
I mean, because there's tons of "ideas" about the origin of man.
I personally think we were all made by Roger Waters.
the guy from Pink Floyd.
he is god.
and the Devil.
plus Prime minister of Ireland.

I don't think my ideas should be taught in school though, as they seem, well, not really that useful.

 

[Steve Rogers]

I gotta blow the whistle here. Someone mentioned Texas still doesn't teach evolution, and it's a very recent development in Florida. How can that be beneficial for the students in these states? I mean, is it fair to these children that they get a shoddy education and come out a step behind? Why do school boards make a choice to not educate their students. Sounds facist.
