But no one really looks at the big picture. Religion can't make up an answer for everything. I believe there is a God, but that does not mean he erased the world and all of a sudden stuck in man. Evolution has many different sides and stories, and so does religion. But how many wars were started over biology? I think there should be more openminded people like you on this Earth to teach some of us morons to loo at the big picture and all of the possibilities, instead of just saying, "Oh, a god just decided to."

I enjoyed it very much,especially the refutation of some critics of Evolution. Reading through your previous guestbook signers i was struck by the lack of knowledge used by the creationist posters. The old lie about Darwin supporting racism even popped up! The title of Origins of Species and its part about "The preservation of favoured races"..in no way refers to the human races ,all it refers to is the survival of certain species or individuals compared to others...thus even if it did(and it didnt) refer to the human "races" all the human races have survived and are thus eq ally favoured aka. none is superior according to Darwins evolution. In fact darwin was an abolishionist when most Christian apologists of the day supported slavery because of the Bible..in the same way they now oppose Evolution. |

Cell phones, microwave ovens, amazing advances in medical science just to name a tiny amount.but all the sciences that burst their bubble are made up of crackpots. |

There are some great sites advocating "intelligent desig " which is (to my mind) a consolidation of observable (measurable - and hence "scientific") evidence and religious belief. In a nutshell, the "big-bang" theory, and conventional "evolution" are embraced within "intelligent design" which simply recognises the hand of The Creator in His Creation! Great site! Alan |

David Redmond - 03/22/00 05:05:14 My URL:http://members.xoom.com/doulos/homepage.html My Email:dmredmond@earthlink.net How I found this page: surfing | Comments: Has anybody ever addressed the fact that the overwhelming majority of people who quote Darwin's work on the origin of species don't know the whole title of his work? The complete title is "The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection or, The Preser ation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". This whole treatise was a racist attempt to justify the rulership of the "favored" white European race over the less favored colored races. In other words, if you promote Darwinism or evolution, you are p omoting a racist philosophy. I wonder how many black or hispanic evolutionists know they are promoting a philosophy designed to keep them in bondage. Being a white Irish-American, I found it very interesting that this philosophy is designed to create the hought process that some are born to rule and others are born to serve the rulers. Who in their right mind would buy into this? In addition, the evolutionary theory that we are the accidental product of slime versus time steals away our purpose in life. A accident has no purpose and no future. The bottom line is that God created us with purpose and therefore we have a future. |

I believe, myself, that evolution is just a THEORY which man came up with to explain existince. But if you take for example Darwin. Geat Phlosipher. Right. Well you can fully believe in his teac ings, but take into consideration, before he died didn't he say that if the human race hadn't drastacaly change in 100 years than forget about his findings. Well 100 years have passed and i think Darwin look considerably like us. Or you can also believe we were made by some higher being. Look in GENESIS and there will be a detailed explanation of how we were created! Or you can remain ignorant and believe evolution. Let me say this, It takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution that in Creation! Signing Off Beau Trembly |

Rarely do people discuss the facts, instead they pit theory against faith. To me, there is little difference between the two. Some would believe that the discussion could not advance beyond this point, they say there are no facts. But I have to disagree. There are many facts available that are derived neither from scientific theory or biblical record. What are they? Please follow the url above (http://www.oocities.org/pinkled5/ev scr.htm) to read my personal essay on the subject, revealing just a few of the many facts that are available to those interested in this debate. |

I refuted a number of his newly discovered views with simple observations. This site has provided me with more ammunition in my fight to live free from eligious assault. However, here are some interesting facts about churches in the United States: 1. The IRS estimates that about 49 billion dollars are donated to churches every year in the US. 2. Of that 49 billion, approximately 0% is taxed. This means that regular, hardworking, under-paid American taxpayers must augment in taxes the amount that churches do not. 3. Churches own 20% of land in all 50 states. Once again, the American taxpayer makes up the difference. 4. Any business owned by a church can operate under a tax free shelter. Maybe Bill Gates should sell some of his stock in Microsoft to the Pope. FREE YOUR MIND!!!! |

In the scientific method (developed by Charles Darwin) a theory is more than a belief. It is a possible explanation for a natural occurance based on observation. Theories must also be testable and once tested presented for peer review. Creationism violates this scientific method and not enough consideration is given to this. |

I am a biologist and have strong conviction for the creation theory. However, being a scientist, I am constantly looking for updated discovery and evidence for both sides f the views. I can only comment that it's a leap of faith to adapt either one of the theories. I believe students need to be presented with both sides' view in order to make their own decisions. |

Religiously speaking, I myself am a practicing Satanist (purely philosophicly, I am not a 'devil worshiper' - check out my page for more info if need be but I have all the respect for others of different beliefs. The Bible should not ever be taken as a Science Book, its not. Its a book based solely on spirituality, nothing more. Keep up the great work!! |

Looked for a reference to logo title: "Marriage made in heaven" Carl Sagan's "A Candle in the Dark" influenced me most by explaining how people come to believe the things they do. Also, how, as you point out, that the scientific method encourages scientists to challenge and confront each other, not conspire to hide th truth!

Marie Byars - 07/06/98 04:39:53 My Email:acmbyars@computerlink.com How I found this page: AltaVista | Comments: As a sophomore in high school, the first semester of biology thoroughly steeped us in Darwinian thought. Even as an [then] agnostic, I wrote off the theory as too problematic to be believed. As time went on, I veered off into the humanities but have enjoyed continued reading in non-fiction, including (no joke!!) science textbooks. I've even slogged through Darwin's own On the Origin of the Species, but the main detail I remember from it is its "dryness." Many, many books I read assume that Darwinian thought is believed by "everyone who's educated" , but the REASONS this is said to be true are not given. Maybe there are some compelling reasons people accept the theory which I don't understand. Nonetheless, here are some of MY stumbling blocks: 1) Genetics. The second semester of that biology course began with a thorough examination of Mendel and genetics, much of which, to me, seemed to COUNTER Darwinism, not provide a support for it. In specific, I wonder about the changing NUMBER of chromosomes. (I believe I learned in that class that humans have the same # of chromosomes as Black Molly Fish, but not as any of the "closer" primates.) Generally, when there are incompatible chromosome pairs, sterility results (mules). Also, whenever we see a fluke in the gene count of humans, it seems to relate to the sex chromosomes, which couldn't be the case in speciation. 2) Tailless Humans. I wondered why humans would "devolve" a tail?? As a smaller, increasingly more hairless species which took time to develop tools, would not natural selection be in favor of keeping a tail to scale up trees for defense? In fact, I cannot think of any good reason to devolve a tail, except a facetious one: fashion! (When humans began wearing clothes & it was important that clothes "hung" right to attract mates, natural selection favored losing the tail, which kept loincloths from looking as "hot".) It seems Lamarckian to chalk up its devolution to "non-use." 3) Lack of Predictiveness. I've seen the "guesses" on how humanity is to evolve into a larger-brained legless creature with darker skin (as ozone disappears), but this lacks the true predictive powers of Newtonian physics, chemical formulae, or even genetics. Even the social sciences seem to have better predictive powers. 4) Proto-cells. I remember examining Miller's experiments regarding the origins of life. Our teacher explained that somehow the protocells surrounded and absorbed enzymes, which allowed them to ingest more and more amino acids until they "blobbed apart" into daughter cells, anticipating asexual reproduction. Even she (a "Doctor") was stumped by the fact that enzymes don't replicate. From all appearances, cells would have to go on absorbing enzymes ad infinitum. 5) Symbiosis. How do two different organisms arrive at the necessary point in development at the same time. If they don't, how does one survive until the other evolves?? And are scientists who delve into this too deeply considered "at the fringe", part of the "Gaia movement"? 6) Punctuated Equilibrium & Occam's Razor. Are Gould and others of his bent being taken seriously and becoming "mainstream", or are they marginalized as "flakes"? And if "punk-eek" IS taken seriously, doesn't it substantially dull Occam's Razor? How central IS Darwin right now? 7) Recessive Genes. Even if natural selection favored certain traits, it seems like other traits would continuously reappear from recessive genes. I suppose that one could concede that, in time, with enough "weeding out", all the recessive genes might disappear. Still... 8) The "Fossil Record", a Priori Assumptions, and Circular Reasoning. Often, I see "the fossil record" used vaguely to support Darwinism. Yet, I'm not catching all the "leaps" made to do this. For one thing, it seems that no truly, verifiable, substantiated "missing link" has been found, only that species have disappeared. This could just be a record of extinctions over time, not transmorgations. Plus, as Darwin himself noted, some species seemed not to have moved along at all on the evolutionary scale. In dating fossil records, I'm struck by the thought that there seems to be some circular reasoning going on, which strikes me as having entered the realm of "philosophy". [Admittedly, my own world view has non sequiturs and circular reasoning, but I've never pretended otherwise.] The Carbon-14 dating record seems a specious argument, also, because it seems that even those invested in Darwinian thought admit to its inaccuracies past a few thousand years. It seems that a fossil is often dated because, according to a Darwinian view, it "must" be such-and-such million years old, and it was found in thus-and-so strata, while strata layers are dated, partly, by what fossil remains are found in them. Also, a lot seems to be extrapolated from meager remains. Bits and pieces are found, and from them, whole models are drawn up. Thus, the shift from strictly cold-blooded dinosaurs to perhaps some hot-blooded ones. And the "fleshing out" in fantastic colors makes the speculations seem more real than they have a right to be. If there are some compelling reasons, especially truly empirical ones, why Darwinism still holds so much attraction, I would like to know them. I'm honest-to-God thinking that I'm just staring another "philosophy" in the face, which, like most philosophies, is held for intensely personal and even emotional reasons. I truly am not coming up with any other explanations. [In all honesty, no matter the compelling reasons, I doubt I'll become a Darwinist myself.] Sincerely, Marie Byars, M.A., Theologian |

Nigel - 05/24/98 09:11:53 | Comments: According to creationists, God must have made a flawed universe in the beginning, and has had to tinker with it ever since to keep it going the direction that He wants. Are they unwilling to admit that, in the beginning, God stoked the universe with all he order (see Genesis) that it needed to develop into not only what it is today, but what it will be in the unimaginably (to us) distant future? The evolutionists might not recognize the same God that the fundamentalists describe, but we give Him far more credit. |

Carly - 05/21/98 21:12:14 My Email:normaldanleech@juno.com | Comments: i am surprised that the author of this page, while a professed Christian, tries so hard to prove that our world developed through natural selection and not intelligent design. is God uncapable of creation that we need to try and come up with reasons fo the current earth's existence? also, i believe that how God made us is not the most important issue. all that really matters is we are His children, and He loved us enough to die for us. Robyn, please.... if you really want to know how the world came into being, why don't you ask God? He will only show you Truth. if us creationists are wrong, He will let you know. i would be more inclined to ask "He who is greater" than "he ho is in the world". love, in Jesus' name, carly. ; ) |
