"Lamarck was the first man whose conclusions on the subject excited much attention.

In 1999 a group of religious fundamentalists won the election to the Kansas State Board of Education and tried to introduce creationism into the state's classrooms. They wanted to delete references to radiocarbon dating, continental drift and the fossil record from the education standards. In 2001 more-temperate forces prevailed in elections, but the anti-evolutionists garnered a 6-4 majority again in November 2004. Now Intelligent Design (ID) theory is their anti-evolution tool of choice.

And for the common usage of the word

He was right. But for the less common, Vatican inspired use of the word- natural laws being what they are is in and of itself a miracle.....

Well, there's no reason to mind if someone has some kind of faith, as long as they don't object that we look at how "god did it".

The only problem comes in when one expects God to break his own rules- only for science to find out later that He didn't. Just because something appears to be supernatural does not mean that it doesn't have a natural explaination, and just because an event has a natural explaination doesn't mean that it wasn't a miracle to the people it benefited and a curse to the people it di

Refute gravity with "Inteligent falling"...

[Harodotus]

Its just as valid to make that conclusion as God controlling the creation of ever changing/improving life.

You just keep going on that theory, you narrow little cocksucker. I haven't stopped watching you.

If you post one little "I'm Sorry" you won't hear from me again. Your amazingly huge ego prevents you from doing it, so I get to have fun with you another day. I don't see how you can go around telling other people they are idiots, when you're the biggest prideful fool of all.
