IF you take the bible literally. But the bible was written by man, and has been translated over and over and has had many things taken out. Even in the last 10 years, things have been taken out of the bible. The bible we have today is not the same as when it was written, or even 300 years ago. A text that has been changed and altered is not an accurate document.

And if you demand it be taught, then you have to demand that other religious and spiritual creation stories be taught as well. Either include everything, or only include facts, and real science.

Because there is nothing to teach when it comes to creationism. There are no facts, no research, no data. It's an opinion based on nothing. Leaving it out, leaves nothing out. because there is nothing in it.

you're right, i wasn't there. And i do still believe that the world, the universe, the very air we all breath, was created by God. But i also know that God didn't use magic. He used science. He used the big bang. He used the core of stars to create different elements. He used gravitational pull and random clumps of matter to combine and make planets. He then set out to make sure that life was sparked in the "primordial ooze" of earth and it then grew and changed over billions of years resulting in us. God is a scientist.
The plausibility of the world being created in 6 days, rather then the big bang and evolution over billions of years are not the same. Everyone is free to believe as they wish. But do not think for a second that both theories have the same plausibility or credibility.

Besides, all opinions and facts aside, creationism is based on a few religions. Religion has no place in school unless ALL religions and spiritual concepts are included. If parents want their child to understand and believe in creationism, they can teach them or have them learn in sunday school. Evolution is a science based explanation of the world and all children should be taught it. Then they can decide for themselves what they believe. The point Bill Nye was trying to make here, was to parents trying to ban evolution being taught in public schools. We as a society, can not afford to only teach part of what's out there, because some feel like it undermines their religious beliefs.

no, they are not equally plausible. Like i said, besides the opinion of some to take the bible literally, there is no research, no science, no theoretical proof that it's true. Creationism is an opinion. Evolution is a theory that is backed by real research and real data. Its ignorant to think that they are even on the same level in terms of probability.

That's because it's considered a theory. But it's a theory that has so much information and fact and research backing it up, it's incomprehensible that one couldn't see the truth in it.
Where's the research or proof that creationism is a fact? Besides those who's opinion is that we are to take the bible literally, there is none. Both are theories. But one is based on facts, research, and real science.
I'm a Christian, btw. You can believe in God and evolution.

Probably switched from name brand cat food to generic.

Fire ant?

Really? You're going to say "fuck you" to a 4 year old?

Not most. It's just that the ignorant ones are also really loud.

I've struggled with depression in the past, and am lucky to be on the other side of it now. Several family members have also been diagnosed with different mental illnesses. I think for those that haven't had any experience with it, that lack of compassion or understanding can make things so much harder. Sharing helps so much
I'm wondering if any of you know who Allie from hyperbole-and-a-half is. I love her and even got her book when it cake out.

I think the isolation makes it so much worse. Being able to share your feelings and what your going through gives validation. It also helps people feel that their burden is not just their own, that there are people there to share the weight the unless has on people. Talking about things with people we live is so important, for both sufferers and allies.

Not really. He's suffered from crippling depression for decades. He's also had problems from trying to self medicate with alcohol and drugs. His fame and money did nothing to relieve his problems. Mental illness crosses all boundaries of economics, gender, education, and culture. He wasn't upset his show was cancelled or that he had less money. He had a mental illness, and very sadly, felt he could no longer continue under his burden.

Haha, my parents used to have turkey's that would try and fly through the closed windows. We'd be sitting on the couch or eating dinner, and all of a sudden there'd be a loud bang and a lot of gobbling.
