It's people who close their minds to discoveries and people like the Fundamentalists who worked to keep the movie Creation from being shown in the United States that trouble me. What are they afraid of? If they don't want to see the movie, they don't have to. Why try to keep other Americans from watching the movie? <br /><br />Some of these fundamentalists pick on teachers and schools that teach the theory of evolution. I can't say whether some schools teach evolution as absolute fact. I have heard/read no information about that.<br /><br />I was taught about the theory of evolution in parochial school many years ago. My science teachers--who were all nuns--didn't think that a Creator God and evolution were mutually exclusive.Elaine M.http://politicalverses.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927643462378647950.post-67128651831765329302010-03-03T14:24:56.807-05:002010-03-03T14:24:56.807-05:00Wasn't really trying to start a debate. I just...Wasn't really trying to start a debate. I just think it is amazing that so many people see Darwin's theory of evolution as absolute fact. It is a theory, so teach it as such is all I'm saying. I also think it is amazing that Christians (and I suppose people of other faiths) get picked on for believing in a creator. Shouldn't the open-mindedness work both ways?Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927643462378647950.post-34044116069258196712010-03-01T12:48:16.263-05:002010-03-01T12:48:16.263-05:00Tanita,

I guess I will respond to your quatrain ...Rebecca,<br /><br />I guess I will respond to your quatrain with a quatrain of my own:<br /><br />Scoff at evolution. Close your mind and say:<br />“The world was created in just six days.”<br />I find it rather puzzling that so many people look<br />at the Holy Bible as scientific book.<br /><br /><br />As a former teacher, it concerns me that so many Americans DO close their minds to the wonders of nature and biology and the universe because they don't fit inside their neat little box of beliefs. <br /><br />There are lots of scientific theories. No one was an eyewitness to the Big Bang. Did it actually happen as theorized? Maybe...maybe not. That said, do you believe people shouldn't keep their minds open to new discoveries and to ideas and theories that may be based on the best scientific evidence we have?Elaine M.http://politicalverses.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927643462378647950.post-28031225613263596842010-02-26T23:43:33.647-05:002010-02-26T23:43:33.647-05:00Scoff at creationists all day long.
