goops:umm no they dont sorry :) or atleast at my church . nice try to prove me wrong though, wikipedia isnt a reliable source

i have to finish up this stupid fossil project its like supposed to go on a poster board or some crap but i’m gonna use a sheet of paper because .. i want to & it makes me feel a little more bad ass than i already am ;D But yeah were starting evolution & i’m not happy about it.. i don’t care if i sound like a prude.. it slowly turns children into atheist making them question god, religion and everything else based on some guys theory i think we should have a choice on whether to be taught this or not with it being such a controversial subject

This is one of the stupidist things I’ve ever heard anyone say. Shame on you for being so incredibly ignorant about science and reality. First off, evolution isn’t just “some guy’s theory” it’s established science. You don’t know the difference between what science refers to as a ‘theory’ and what laymen refer to as a theory, so let me clear it up for you. In science, gravity is ‘just some guy’s theory’ with every bit of evidence as evolution. Science doesn’t state facts, science is a process by which the natural universe can be understood. But as sure as you can say gravity is a fact, you can bet evolution is a fact.

Evolution has no more of an impact on one’s religious beliefs than any other aspect of reality. You think that it challenges people’s faiths based on trumpted up anti-intellectual arguments from conservatives and pathetic Scopes trial holdouts. Millions have found a way to reconcile their faith with the FACT of evolution. Just like millions have reconciled their faith with a round earth, an earth that is billions of years old, no evidence of sudden worldwide floods, an earth that didn’t exist until after the sun, and the existence of outer space.

You claim that studying evolution makes one an atheist, but while you base this on nothing I’m going to go ahead and assume you think that because you accept a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis. This makes you wrong for so many reasons. Billions of people throughout history have dismissed the literal interpretation of Genesis without becoming atheists. And, in addition, I’m not sure if you’re aware of the fact that many religions don’t include biblical texts at all.

Finally, you suggest that because evolution is ‘controveral’ it ought not be taught in school. I guess the same, according to you, would go for slavery, the slaughtering of the indians, the Holocaust and a series of other controversal and unpleasent historical events. You know, every single right you have was, at some point, controversal. But let’s not talk about it? Let’s just talk about nice stuff in school like puppies and flowers (oh wait, those things all evolved.) How about fairy tales about talking snakes and magic fruits?

lindseycamille: i apologize for offending you and i totally see where you are coming from. but i know a lot of people who have turned atheist because of evolution. yeah slavery can be taught in school and the slaughtering of the Indians yes its controversial but there is also well documented proof of it. and it does have an impact if you ask people you cant tell me that if you have a strong religious belief and a well educated person is pretty much telling you otherwise wouldn’t it make you question it? its unnecessary and VERY controversial. i can get by in life without being told i came from a monkey? and yes i know there are a lot of things we learn that aren’t exactly life lessons that we will use in the future but they are not nearly as controversial.  As a catholic i’m not supposed to “blend” evolution in.

The Catholic church accepts evolution, albeit an evolution “guided by God” or some such, but still… it’s evolution. Not to mention that evolution is taught in most Catholic schools and is widely accepted by all Catholics otherwise.

Just sayin’.

Wikipedia isn’t a reliable source when you need to be sure of specific dates or facts that people could have easily changed on a highly contested subject. It *is* a reliable source when speaking in general terms of, say, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S OPINION ON EVOLUTION. If you don’t trust it go to the links cited in the wiki article and verify them. Now quit fucking whining and do your damn homework. If scientific fact is enough to sway you from your belief, you better do some more research, either into your own faith or into scientific fact.

Arturo, I really don’t think this is what Jamie bargained for while “reconnecting” with you. A simple “I’m doing alright” would have sufficed.

Of COURSE she is in a complicated relationship.

Also, “Lone Wolf,” if you wan’t to be treated like a real person, I would suggest not using a fake profile.

This isn’t a funny, “this kinda sucks” complaint. This is a pretty resentful complaint. Way to go Steve.

Apparently, Kahlea is in a relationship with an unknown male AJH, as well as Bridget, who makes an appearance at the bottom of one of her posts. As Bridget is not some 5’7, 120 lb vixen who is perfectly fine with inviting a boy into the bedroom, AJH does not want to share the woman he has been dating for five whole days with anyone once he buys her a ring.

Although Kahlea’s post sound like those of an angsty, confused 16 year old, she is 22 years old, with a 4 year old and a two year old.

I did not blur out her picture, as it evidently changes often, and this was captured while she had a picture of her and this unknown male in a demotivational poster format.

This girl does not often log into facebook but rest assured when she does, she will find something to complain about. Except drunk class, sign me up for that!

Wow. You cleaned out his checking account, but how much more must YOU endure? Poor guy. Even if he owed you money, thats what Judge Joe Brown is for.

This girl has life so hard she can’t even let D celebrate that its Friday. Come on, there is a whole restaurant chain dedicated to thanking God that its Friday, you can’t be just a little excited? Even when D tries to make her feel better by pointing out she only has one more day, she shoots that down too.

I don’t know what this girl does for work, but I’m doubting its anything too hard. I think she’s like 19.

This girl, in the relative scheme of things, has a pretty cush life. She lives at home, works in accounts receivable, and is going to school (at University of Phoenix) for her accounting degree. Seems pretty mundane, right? NOT SO, SIR. At least once a day there, on my homepage, sits another complaint about either school or work. Glaring at me. Telling me how wonderful my life must be, because hers is just not so. Talking to her just gets worse, as every sentence out of her mouth begins with “Oh yeah? well I…”
