You know what I like about America? We're founded on the concept of equality and freedom to all citize--
Goddamn it, guys.
Well at least we have a healthy separation of church and sta--
Oh you.
goddamnit goddamnit godDAMNIT why


I cannot stand my country most days


Why what?
I just get frustrated at all of the ignorance. It's actually great that same sex couples are getting married in New York, but seeing possible internet censorship, one of our presidential candidates thinking that Intelligent Design is something that should be taught in schools? I can't stand that s**t. I just don't understand how people get to be so narrow minded, and forget that we're all human, no matter what race, religion, or sexual orientation. These things are all human rights, and people think that some others shouldn't have them. It bugs the ******** out of me.

TL;DR People are ignorant and I hate it.


Well...aren't you kinda being ignorant of ignorant people? How is ignorant to teach Intelligent design? Wouldn't it be ignorant to say that Intelligent Design is Not something that Humans believe in? Isn't it a little Narrow Minded to only teach one creation story in schools? Internet Censorship I can level with though, lol. But all the rest....I can't help but notice how narrow minded you are about what's right and wrong, eh?
I wouldn't have a problem with them teaching intelligent design as a theory alongside evolution as long as they included every other theory that was ever thought up about the origin of the universe that has any believers whatsoever. In the end, it doesn't really matter how we got here as much as it matters what we're doing now that we're here, so it doesn't really matter what the kids decide to believe as long as it helps them to make decisions that make them happy.


It really doesn't matter to you?
Huh.
Cuz the way I see it, knowing where I came from would have massive implications for the way I live;
-If I believe in Evolution, I can basically do whatever instinct tells me to do, and I'll be justified by that, because we came from monkeys, and exercising my ability to do whatever I want is simply a sign of how far our society has come.
-But, if I believe in Intelligent design, then I run the risk of becoming accountable for the "wrong" things I do, depending on which Intelligence I believe in. I'm relatively sure that basically every religion that acknowledges an Intelligent Creator also acknowledges the possibility of Life after Death, and the idea that our actions in This life will affect our state in the next. In that case, I'm pretty sure I would spend a great deal of time ensuring the best possible results for the next life, or in the very least, wondering if said Intelligent Creator is watching, wondering if I were being punished for wrongs, or wondering if there's a way to get greater rewards in This life for the things I do, or do not do.

Make sense?
I mean, you're right, students can (and should) choose whatever makes them happy, but you're wrong when you say that it doesn't really matter where we come from. If that were the case, why teach anything on the subject at all?

First off, you're going to have to explain how I'm ignorant of ignorant people. That one doesn't really make sense to me.

And I'm not saying Intelligent Design is something that humans don't believe in. I'm saying there's a difference between putting science in school and putting the bible in school. IMO, we should be teaching what science finds to be the most objective and reasonable explanation to how the universe began, and how humans came to be. To me, evolution explains that. And I do have weird issues with the Big Bang and all that, because no matter what, something had to come from nothing. But I don't think that some larger being created us in his image to love him, and then gave us free will not to. The world makes more sense to me in terms of 'If there is some higher being out there, he's not looking down at us. He's busy playing intergalactic ping pong'. I can't believe in a benevolent god because of all the suffering in the world, be it disease, starvation, or what have you. Just doesn't make sense.

No, sir.
Intelligent Design may be taught. I was taught a lot of the basics of Hindu and Muslim beliefs in school, it was all part of a cultural thing.
But you do not, DO NOT teach Intelligent Design and call it Science.

Hell, I think evolution is a boring way to have gotten here. I'd rather my kids thought they came from a stork or some s**t just so their life felt a little more special.

Oh, uh, the reason I put the link there was because it shouldn't have to be something that needs to be legalized if we truly had a separation of church and state. Sure, it makes me happy, but really it just makes me roll my eyes in the long run.
Oh, definitely. Read that wrong, then xD

lol Normally I would have a field day expressing how Un-scientific Evolution really tends to be, or at least the way it's taught.
But I'll fore-go that tirade and ask you this; You're very arrogant when you claim to know whats best for Humanity. I'm not saying Suffering is a good thing, but it's a result of our Brokenness, not God's failure to comply. The fact is, there is brokenness in the world, and Evolution doesn't explain it either, does it? If we're rapidly evolving into a greater society, why haven't we improved on that front?
My question to you, then, is Why would you choose to ignore a God who died so that You could be free from the brokenness? Why would you rather flounder in the suffering by yourself, with no hope for something better, over a God who said that he Loved you before time was even a thing, over a God who promised freedom, and who wants to Lavish gifts on you like you've never even imagined? If I told you that you were Loved, would you rather believe it, and be comforted, or choose Not to believe it, and continue on suffering alone?

You know there's actually no Proof of evolution? I mean, sure there is some evidence to support that it's a pretty good theory, but you have about as much Proof of evolution as you do about God.

@LPS: I want to feel the same way about people, but given soem of the people I've met... confused
Anyways, you're right. When it comes down to it, money really does talk. But in addition to the many groups funded on donations, we've got major corporations that are also in direct defiance to this bill, like Google. It's a good part of why the bill didn't make it through the three or four other times it tried to pass.
The really stupid thing about it all, though, is that every time it's come back it's been more extreme, to the point where it now allows arrests for uploads of "copyrighted content" like Let's Plays and complete censorship of entire domains by the government. It's like they think the opposition is solely because the people want to be oppressed harder. xd
Have you heard about my sister? I've met people like that too. But the thing is, they always, always try to justify themselves to the people around them. They try to convince someone that they are somehow in the right, even when they go against their own ethics. Nobody ever says 'yeah I did this just for kicks because I am a bad person, deal with it'. If what is important changes, what these people strive for will change. Maybe not immediately, but hey, there's violence and injustice now, nothing's perfect. I wouldn't want to keep accepting what I don't like because I'm afraid that what sounds ideal to me would have a rough transition before it got there.

Maybe that's an implied threat to get the opposition to back down and accept it. 'If you resist, we'll only crack down on you harder.' That's what I'd take from it, anyway.

I'm not saying that I know what's best for humanity. I just personally think that Intelligent Design is something that should be saved for the pews, not the desks. Evolution is something that takes place over many years. Humans are getting more intelligent, we're becoming taller on average. Evolution is something that rapidly happens.

But sure, forget the evolution tidbit. How do I know that there was some God who died for my sins? The Bible is great, and I'm sure that it has some good stories and suggestions on how to live a moral life. But I'm comforted by the ones I can see, who I love and am loved in return by. If I'm loved my some giant eternal being out there, born of benevolence and love, he sure has a funny way of showing it. I'm glad for what I have, and I'm not suffering alone. I have my family, my girlfriend, my pets...

I just choose to believe in what humanity can be. I don't need a higher authority.

Want to bet?
We've got extensive records of skeletons that date back millions of years. You can honestly trace the similarity of a single bone through aeons and watch it change little by little. We've got genetic samples of well-preserved specimens that detail exactly what changed over time. There are definitive records that humans were much shorter a few hundred years ago. Hell, in the last fifty years alone we have data that details how the average womens' breast sizes have gone up because of what we like to call "selective breeding."
No, it's not set in stone because we won't really know until millenia have passed and we can see for ourselves how the human race has changed. But are you really going to look me in the eye and claim we haven't got proof?

The options you present are basically live by your own rules and live in fear of judgment; when you word it that way, I might actually have to argue against teaching intelligent design because it might make all our kids think poorly of themselves for having completely natural thoughts and desires that don't stack up to somebody else's standards.

You're right though; why teach anything at all? I'm not against teaching nothing either. Who the ******** cares how we got here? Is it doing us any good to know? What could we be doing with this time we're wasting arguing about how we got here if we had no idea and didn't care? I bet we'd all be enjoying ourselves much more in this moment doing something we actually liked instead of trying to get others to see our inconsequential point of view.

On that note, I'm hungry. I'm gonna go give in to my primitive monkey impulses because I'll enjoy it more than sitting at this chair and typing.

Do you submit to higher authority anywhere? Don't you have parents that you once submitted to? Don't you submit to enforcers of the Law (like it or not lol)? Don't you have a Boss where you work? Are you really so full of pride that you refuse to submit to any higher authority already present in your life?
You also realize the risk you're taking? If there really is a "Higher Authority" up there, than he could very well be casting judgment on you, even now, for standing above him, saying "I am too good for God".

Why what?
I just get frustrated at all of the ignorance. It's actually great that same sex couples are getting married in New York, but seeing possible internet censorship, one of our presidential candidates thinking that Intelligent Design is something that should be taught in schools? I can't stand that s**t. I just don't understand how people get to be so narrow minded, and forget that we're all human, no matter what race, religion, or sexual orientation. These things are all human rights, and people think that some others shouldn't have them. It bugs the ******** out of me.

TL;DR People are ignorant and I hate it.


Well...aren't you kinda being ignorant of ignorant people? How is ignorant to teach Intelligent design? Wouldn't it be ignorant to say that Intelligent Design is Not something that Humans believe in? Isn't it a little Narrow Minded to only teach one creation story in schools? Internet Censorship I can level with though, lol. But all the rest....I can't help but notice how narrow minded you are about what's right and wrong, eh?
No, sir.
Intelligent Design may be taught. I was taught a lot of the basics of Hindu and Muslim beliefs in school, it was all part of a cultural thing.
But you do not, DO NOT teach Intelligent Design and call it Science.


You know there's actually no Proof of evolution? I mean, sure there is some evidence to support that it's a pretty good theory, but you have about as much Proof of evolution as you do about God.
Want to bet?
We've got extensive records of skeletons that date back millions of years. You can honestly trace the similarity of a single bone through aeons and watch it change little by little. We've got genetic samples of well-preserved specimens that detail exactly what changed over time. There are definitive records that humans were much shorter a few hundred years ago. Hell, in the last fifty years alone we have data that details how the average womens' breast sizes have gone up because of what we like to call "selective breeding."
No, it's not set in stone because we won't really know until millenia have passed and we can see for ourselves how the human race has changed. But are you really going to look me in the eye and claim we haven't got proof?


Yep.
You have no proof. You have evidence, but not proof.

Yep.
Neither do you. In fact, you've got less evidence by far.

P.S. there's actually proof traceable over a span of our lifetime in bacterial studies. Evolution is, in its simplest form, an act of necessity: adaptation to a new environment with a new set of demands.
