Scopes lost, but the immediate effect was to take all mention of evolution out of US science texts (1926) and the two positions, pro- and con- evolution became defined. It remains an issue in some school districts to this day.

The trial also held the Fundamentalist position up to ridicule in some camps. These camps have by now become something of a bandwagon, a la Union's statement. The anti-evolution position is increasingly difficult to defend as the technology involved in the study of DNA improves.

I agree with you 86. The sciences merely reveal the miracle....

Religion explains the why, science explains the how!!!!! Evolution isn't a theoy that attempts to explain the Mechanisms creation, only the mechanisms by which it grows.

Perfect Order, do you accept the scientific validity of the theory of human evolution?

Union I'm an athiest :lol:

but I have a hard time believing that a human from 30000 years ago, is much different from me in almost every way. Just like how Native Americans from the most southern depths of South America, a child pure in lineage from who I don't share a common ancestor for 10's of thousands of years is hardly any different than me except superficially.

Perhaps those ancient ‘humans’ were a different type of human than you and I, primates very close to us in genetics much like chimpanzees, but still alien enough to be a different species.

Also, please explain the circumstances around your apostasy. Has this decision been influenced by your recent indulgences in the dangerous activity known as “reading”, and what implications do you think this will have on your moral and social state?

union you can't reconcile that view of human origins and theology. It brings up too many problems. :lol:

:lol: religion and politics, I don't understand how you can make such a statement. The pope is the head of a state, where his state unofficially has territory in a lot of countries (cathedrals), he must secure his state within a changing world, and he can't alienate potential members. :lol:

the pope was elected because of politics not because of his scholarly works in theology and other religious matters. Also, if your a muslim, what does the pope have to do with you? Pope believes in trinity and so you going to take his word for it? :?
