So I was correct. You have never read a single textbook that presents the scientific evidence for evolution.

What an absolute car crash of a response.

I have to be honest if you are a science teacher then that is just incredible that you found employment.

I would be very happy to have a respectful conversation with you specifically about the fact of biological evolution. I think you have done enough harm to Doug's thread already so I propose starting a new one.

Please let me know if you accept the invitation and I will post an OP this evening.

At this point I want to point out one obvious misconception that you present above. Evolution is not about atheism.

The vast majority of Christians accept the fact of evolution. Many scientists who research and teach evolution are evangelical Christians.

Accepting the fact of evolution does not commit somebody to favouring any moral position.

Oh I see you are a full blooded no apologies creationist who resorts to the most facile of ' arguments' but who claims to be a teacher of science.

Your poor poor students!

I will read your posts later and get back to you. In the mean time please tell me which books that present the scientific evidence for evolution you have studied recently?

I'm predicting the answer is none and that you will evade the question.

What The Fossils Say

by cofty in

the old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.

if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.

the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.

Every creation book ever written by the cult is appallingly dishonest and scientifically ignorant by the standards of the times at which they were produced.

After all, it was an accident for goodness sake! - BB

Yes and a boy is dead. She should have submitted to the British courts where no doubt she would have been dealt with leniently. It is VERY unlikely she would have done any time in prison at all. The parents said at the time that they understood it was an accident and they were not looking for revenge. But when a life is taken there is a process that must be followed so that justice is seen to be done. You don't get to decide - the British courts do.

Running home and hiding behind immunity is despicable and cowardly. Now she cannot travel anywhere in the EU without being arrested. She needs to put this right.

I teach meteorology and geography but even kids with down syndrome will understand its stupid

Really? I assumed from your first post that you were about 13 years old.

So let's have a conversation about it then deepblue.

Let me begin - Life began approximately 3.8 million years ago. Probably in deep sea vents

Eukaryotic cells came into being approximately 2 billion years ago as a result of an endosymbiotic event

Life diverged through unguided evolution

99.9% of all species that have ever lived have since gone extinct.

Modern humans appeared approximately 100,000 years ago descended from common ancestors of modern primates.

As a geography teacher you agree with all of these points don't you?

So what specifically is your problem with the OP?

deepblue - What the actual fuck are you wittering about? Doug's dismantling of the WT brochure is thorough and excellent as usual.

Is the pdf too hard for you to understand? Maybe Doug can do a simpler one with shorter words for dummies.

You joined just to make a personal attack on an actual scholar. Idiot.. Fuck off

If coming to drive in the UK please take care, I have twice met foreign drivers on the wrong side of the road.

Roundabouts are a great invention to keep the traffic moving at busy junctions. Observe to the right as you approach and give way to any traffic on the roundabout or entering from that side. There are some good YouTube videos that will get you up to speed on which lanes to use depending on when you intend to exit. ( see Ashley Neal for example)

(The CPS is currently trying to extradite the wife of an American diplomat who killed a young man by driving on the right and then fleeing back to the USA hiding behind diplomatic immunity)

Jesus is Yahweh......Titles applied to YHWH and Jesus in Old and N.T.......credit to Bill Cetnar

just one is a little older that the other

So not co-eternal then. The minister undermined his own point.

It happens every time you ask a trinitarian to explain it in their own words. It's only a matter of time before it ends in a contradiction.
