Tolerance for others' feelings.

We should respect science. Science is what taught us that the stars were set into giant circular plates that covered the surface of the Earth. Science gave us peace at night that lest we travel in excess of 40 Mph our heads would not explode, but exceed such speeds and you'll be responsible for having someone clean up the muck that was once your head. Science gave us the the N-Ray and cold fusion. In 1895 thanks to scientific endevors a letter was drafted by teh chief of the US patent office requesting that the office be closed because "everything that could be invented has been invented". Now I would most like to thank science for it's greatest infallible statement that billions of years ago a single celled oagnism (set asside for a moment where this thing came from in the first place) decided it would be much happier as a bipedal creature with opposable thumbs and capable of abstract reasoning and set off to do so, stopping briefly to be a Brontosaurus and Piltdown man on the way. So thank you science for your flawless record of being right 100% of the time and not letting us down in our blind obedience!

The beauty of science is that it allows humans to update and refine their understanding of the universe (one of my professors used to refer to science as a descending set of concentric cirlces, with each circle slightly smaller than the one before it, as we move toward and refine Knowledge). Science is not advanced as the "inspired word" of any deity. It doesn't even assert that you're a heretic if you don't believe in it.

But every generatio seems to treat the claims of science as though, "we're sure this time they got it right!" And in alot of ways you may not be called a heritic, but you are assumed to be a religious zealot or "irrational" or "stupid" so they may not use the term heritic, but they have other words that imply pretty much the same thing. I mean look at the evolution in scools debate and where it's come too. Not only is there an uproar anytime someone suggests teaching an opposing scientific view to evolution, but they don't even want sticker communicating what the teachers SHOULD but aren't teaching wich is that evolution is an unprovan theory. I think that if a highschool science teacher openly questioned evolution he would be run out on a rail much like the heritics of old.

If that were the case, then all the scientists would go home and call it a day.
And clearly, that hasn't and isn't happening.
Perhaps what you're alluding is the arrogance of some scientists who say they've got the final handle on this thing called Knowledge. I would counter that scientists of that ilk are few and far between. But the assumption is that there is some final, knowable state of affairs in the Universe and that Science is working toward revealing that state.
We're hopeful it's not turtles all the way down...

I'm refering less to the scientists and more to those who teach and preach thier findings and don't want to admit that thier scientists are fallible human beings.

Well, if you don't want Christians lumped together as one homoegenous group, don't do the same thing to scientists.

Like I said I'm refering to the public schools who dispense the information not the noble (and Nobel) scientists who research it. The public scools make claims regarding evolution that no self respecting researcher would ever make.
homoegenous Oscar Wylde was a homo genius!

Again with the broad generalizations. Should I look at all the Christians I've ever known and draw conclusions about ALL OF YOU from them?

There are still schools that teach Piltdown man and schools refuse to accept a notation in books saying that evolution is just a theory.

If it makes you feel any better, I've even misspelled my own religion in past posts. And you're the one who misspelled genious in the term homogenious!

All joking aside, it's more of a problem trying to keep all religion out of school instead of in it. It's sad when you have spring and winter holidays, and november celebration instead of Halloween, Christmas, and Easter!
I really don't see anything wrong with talking about what a person believes in if it tides into the curriculum...student's history books are filled with wars between different cultures. Why not talk about their cultural backgrounds and religions? It would help the kiddos understand the similarities and differences between what people around the world believe.
Exactly my point! Thanks very much, my dear princess!

...before they all shrivel out of my mind forever.
This is it, this is the end.
I've been here... not quite as long as everybody else, but I'm sure almost everyone knows my name. Because I'm already #14 on the top posters list and by deductive reasoning that means I am constantly talking on here and kinda hard to ignore. Or not notice.
Anyways, I'm not sure of this as a fact, but I think my IQ has dropped since I joined Rob's louverly boards. I DO know for a fact my attention span has shortened dramatically. And frankly, I don't like this. I miss reading books and being alone with my thoughts. I don't have any self control unless I force myself to have no other option, which is the reason I'm writing this rather than just quietly dissappearing.
Goodbye, I don't think I'll be around again.
I have allowed this place to drain and rot my mind and I thoroughly sick of it. I hate not having the intellectual edge I used to flaunt so effortlessly. So this is it. Auf Wiedersehen.
With regards,
-Uschi Von Büccher

It wasn't the boards that were the problem, it was me. I've fixed me and so I came back.
