Is there a problem, ossifer?

yes ma'am, until that time when you can spell the type of alcohol, you are not allowed to drink said alcohol. The correct phrase is,

I swear to Drunk I'm not God.

There's nothing wrong with being elite.

(From Wiktionary... see how easy it is to cite sources?)

elite:

1. A special group or social class of people which have a superior intellectual, social or economic status as, the elite of society
2. Someone who is among the best at certain task

If you're better at something, like thinking, or actually using facts without making shit up, then so be it. Why should they be punished.

Just because "All men are created equal..." doesn't mean that some people are better at certain things than others, nor does it mean that people being better than others is bad.

By that definition I should be King of Earth. I am the best at everything!!!!!!

I didn't say "elite". Read more closely, I said "Elitists". Elitists are people who believe that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.

Even though they are really just self-absorbed people who think they are smarter than everyone. Most teens think this way, some just never get past it. :)

(okay i haven't read all 13 pages of this thread, so excuse me if this has been said 12 times already)

There's this little thing about scientific facts; they really don't give a shit about peoples opinions, beliefs, or thoughts. You can spend hours debating evolution, but it's as much use as debating gravity. It will still be there.

If scientific facts would be based on beliefs and public opinions. The earth would be flat.

According to the evolutionists of this thread there are no scientific facts. Read the thread. :)

No, sir, you are incorrect, yet again.

From Wiki (SOURCES.. see? I know it's hard to understand, but, just 'cuz you WANT things to be the way they are in your little head, that doesn't make it so.

Although, it would clear things up, a lot of the time if you did cite your source as "Hey, here's another fact I just made up";)

":Elitism is a belief or attitude that elites — a selected group of persons whose personal abilities, wealth, specialised training or other attributes place them at the top of any field (see below) — are the people whose views on a matter are to be taken most seriously, or who are best fit to govern"

From Wiktionary

elitism

1. The belief that a society or system should be run by an elite.
2. The superior attitude or behaviour associated with an elite.

You mean.... like you?

I mean, you basically just declared yourself superior to everyone who disagrees with your personal world-view with that post...

Most people reject evolution. When I say evolution I mean the kind that starts with a single celled creature and over time transforms into a fish, then a frog, then a bird or snake etc etc.

I think most people agree with adaptation. We can see it happening. There is loads of evidence for it. But there is no evidence to support the notion life as we know it arose from lowly single cell creatures.

If life did arise without a creator, it would need to come into existence with the ability to eat, remove waste, process food, grow, and reproduce. That would be a much bigger miracle than having a creator make it.

The next step is how life began from non-living matter when biogenesis (scientific fact) says all life comes from existing life.

We all know the theory of abiogenesis (the unsupported theory that life came from non-living material) strikes in the face of science, yet people who reject the notion of a creator must assume this is how life began.

Their beliefs cause them to close their eyes to science when it shows their beliefs to be wrong. So in a way, one could say people on both sides of the issue depend on their beliefs to guide them through science.




Funny, most polls like Gallop and AP say people support Evoloution

Where are your sources
