When does the national debate over "Is the Earth Flat?" begin

[Armstead]

Just asking. :evilgrin:

[Mizmoon]

1. You know that TV show about how the moon landing was fake?

They didn't go far enough. The moon is fake too. :crazy:

IT'S TRUE DAMMIT!

[Solly Mack]

2. No. No. No. The moon is real - it's just made of green cheese

and there's a man who lives there...

[seabeyond]

6. i thought it was blue cheese. are you sure on your facts? n/t

[Solly Mack]

8. Oh, that's just elitist thinking...it's green

lol!

[seabeyond]

10. bah hahahah, that is funny n/t

[Double T]

3. Are you trying to tell me it isn't flat?

Intelligent Geography or is that Unintelligent Geography?

[Armstead]

20. Maps are Flat

Ergo sum: The earth is flat

[Walt Starr]

4. We must present all sides of teh debate!

Intelligent Falling should be taught, too!

[Armstead]

7. Issac Newton's next on the hit list

[Ganja Ninja]

5. Perhaps we should teach both theories.

I'm going to see a surgeon this afternoon but maybe I should get a second opinion from a witch doctor too.

[jonnyblitz]

9. yes, it's another theory that should be taught along side

"the earth is round" theory. we need both points of view to be fair. :eyes:

14. wow, spoken like someone who has no idea what they are talking about

"Darwinian evolution cannot be tested because it is a process that extends over millions of years, it cannot be observed because it "happened" long ago. At one time, it was believed that the fossil record would prove the theory, but that never happened. Its proofs tend to be be based on wildly extrapolated data, such as a single jawbone or isolated fossil."

Haha, you wish!

There have been species to mutate before our eyes! It doesn't take millions of years for an insect to adapt to conditions in a lab. Therefore, it is indeed testable. Your conclusion is the worst bit of creationism in sheep's clothing I have ever seen.

17. Mutations are evolution.

It is one of several ways evolution works.

If you want to be picky about mutation as opposed to other forms:

Elephants in Asia are being born without tusks because the ones who do not have tusks are more likely to survive and thus procreate. That is happening right before our eyes, today.

11. Flat Earth Soc. Motto: "Common Sense is what tells you the Earth is flat."

...which says a lot about 'common sense'...

[Gman]

12. I'm sure Rick Santorrum can quote the Bible chapter and verse(s)

where it's interpreted to say the earth is flat. Those that disbelieve are condemned to burn in hell and eternal damnation alongside those that voted for Kerry.

16. Already settled. It's flat.

Now we're working on that so-called "gravity" thing, why buttered bread always falls butter-side-down, and why the big turds always float to the top. We think there's a connection. :smoke:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

19. Yes, I think all the competing theories should get an equal airing.

"As a Christian, a trained engineer and scientist, and a professor at Emory University, I am embarrassed by Superintendent Kathy Cox's attempt to censor and distort the education of Georgia's students. Her recommendation that the word "evolution" be prohibited in textbooks will adversely effect the teaching of science and leave our high school graduates with a serious handicap as they enter college or private life where freedom of speech will be permitted."

"Nationwide ridicule of Georgia's public school system will be inevitable if this proposal is adopted, and additional and undeserved discredit will be brought on our excellent universities as our state's reputation is damaged."

"All high school science teachers, being college graduates, have studied evolution as a universal element of university curricula, and would be under pressure to suppress their own educated beliefs in the classroom."

"The existing and long-standing use of the word "evolution" in our state's textbooks has not adversely affected Georgians' belief in the omnipotence of God as creator of the universe. There can be no incompatibility between Christian faith and proven facts concerning geology, biology, and astronomy.

There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat earth in order to defend our religious faith."
