    Based on the premise that thoughts are spirit not substance

    but all ideas have an affinity for other ideas and they build and grow over time... Which is why we are sending rovers to other planets and not still stuck in caves banging rocks together. and what is the "greater good" anyway? wa:do

    Based on the premise that thoughts are spirit not substance

    I'm not sure I know what you're trying to say... Of course ideas have affinities for each other. The idea of controlling fire and the idea of mixing different edible things together gave us cooking. The idea of cooking and the idea of making money gave us restaurants and cook books and so...

    Based on the premise that thoughts are spirit not substance

    I'm not sure I can agree with your opening premise.... Thoughts are substance. We can measure thoughts as a substance. They are the electrochemical signals of our brains. The movement of specific chemicals across cellular membranes. Not only can we measure them, but we can manipulate them...

    Killing innocent people is a crime in Islam.

    That's your big source.... a trashy internet tabloid? Look, I don't know the details of why those two did what they did... I'm pretty sure it wasn't simply religious zealotry. Hell, it could have as pointless as Sandy Hook or Columbine. But trying to peddle ridiculous conspiracy tales does...

    Killing innocent people is a crime in Islam.

    How do you know that's the original video? Plus, I know how video works. And how peoples imaginations work. This is no different than all the people who claimed to have seen "spooky brown people" in photos and videos of the incident. I don't put any more stock in the people who claimed...

    I know people who were there... just don't. :tsk: wa:do

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    Really... because at best I see it being static. wa:do

    Killing innocent people is a crime in Islam.

    To evil people, there are no innocents... a cruel man can condemn an infant for nothing more than the circumstances of it's birth. wa:do

    "The Top 5 Most Irritating Terms In Evolution Reporting"

    We like to teach kids things as simplified as possible. Evolution isn't a simple subject. wa:do

    And it doesn't matter how "fit" you are if you don't get to reproduce. wa:do

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    Actually that figure varies quite considerably depending on how you ask the question and what kinds of follow up questions you ask. And no... they aren't YEC's.... they answer that Humanity is less than 10,000 years old... not the earth. Big difference. The Straight Dope: Nearly half the...

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    United States population. Since that is the country I'm in and thus primarily concerned with. And again, it depends on how you define "creationist".... by a selectively loose definition I'm a "creationist" even though I fully accept and study evolution. wa:do

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    As I said earlier, it depends on how you define "creationism". YEC is certainly going to remain in the 10% area of the population. YEC "studies" are generally as popular as UFO "studies" and Astrology "studies". I see no indication that they are gaining in popularity outside of their...

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    Who said anything about atheism? Are you confusing science and atheism? Do I have to remind you that most of the biologists I know personally are theists and fully accept evolution. Including myself... wa:do

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    Right around 10% of the population. It's like the cuckoo-lander sweet spot. :cool: wa:do

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    If creationism was genetic you might have a point. But short of ridding the world of Science or preventing all of them from getting an education, you aren't going to get rid of Evolution. wa:do

    Will Creationism slowly fade away into oblivion?

    No... at best it will level off at around 10% of the population. That's the odd standard for crack pot/outdated ideas. Naturally this will also vary depending on what type of creationism you are talking about. Hard core Biblical literalists vs. soft theistic evolution. wa:do

    "The Top 5 Most Irritating Terms In Evolution Reporting"

    I agree with all of these. 1) is frustrating because people often confuse "fit" with being an olympian athlete or something. It's frustrating to have to explain 'fitness' from an evolutionary perspective. wa:do

    Life might be older than Earth

    That is a terrible comparison. Evolution does not function like Moore's Law. wa:do

    Why do some scientists reject evolution?

    I never knew Catholic was now synonymous with Atheist. The Pope must be so confused. :cool: wa:do
