My Son Needs Some Help. Anti-Evolution Speaker Coming to His School

[JoePhilly]

29. np ... I've been daring the local schools to try and teach this nonsense here in NC.

I actually think that the best way to kill this creationism nonsense is to try and teach it in schools.

It is usually taught as part of an indoctrination program in a church ... when you start to call it "science" it becomes subject to the same level of scrutiny that Evolution gets.

And so ...

1) Tell your child to always call it the Theory of Creationism. They hate that. If it is a science, it can't also be a religion.

2) When the creationist tries to focus on any specific "gap" in evolution ... immediately ask them to explain, using OBSERVABLE scientific evidence (critical to include that), as to how their theory fills that same gap. If they try to use an analogy or a metaphor, point out that those are NOT scientific, but rhetorical arguments which have no place in science. Thew hate that too.

3) One way to really throw them is to ask them if there is one "Intelligent Creator" for Humans, one for Animals, and one for Plants. Humans and animals are really very similar (Humans are animals after all) ... but plant life is very different ... and so it would make sense for there to be at least 2 Gods, on who designs (and builds) humans and animals, and one who designs (and builds) plants.

Here is a GREAT video, about an hour, but it has some great stuff ...
