- The description of people of faith as ignorant is valid.

I guess its okay to make bigotted attacks on christians just not anyone else. My pastor had a phd in chemistry. My son a christian came within a hairsbreath of a phd in the classics. I have a ba in history. A good freind at church is an engineer. I guess they are all ignorant - Reply to this comment

I think you are getting a just a little over the top. Please try to justify even a little bit what you just said - Reply to this comment
- What an ignorant fool. Why don''''t you read the Bible, Rick, and stop preaching hatred of humanity every chance you get? You are far less a Christian than I am, and I, most assuredly am not one. There is a special place in hell for people like you, assuming hell exists.

You ought to have been a communist living in the soviet union where they encouraged attacking christianity. I could see you passing laws against christians - Reply to this comment

- For your information, more than 80% of scientists and researchers in the hard sciences of physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics are atheists and virtually everyone accepts the theory of Darwin.

Anyone can make up statistics Jon... where''''s your proof? Why do you call people of faith ignorant? You believe in evolution don''''t you? ...Let me ask you a simple question Jon... which came first -- DNA or Proteins?.

Sorry, I don''t have the source of the survey. In it, mathematicians have the highest rate of those who believe in God, at 15%. Scientists in the other disciplines rate lower than that. Might have lumped together atheists with agnostics, not sure now. I tried to compensate by using somewhat higher numbers of believers, hence the 80% figure.
I am not a scientist myself, nor do I have that kind of expertise in my background, though I like to be up to speed on scientific achievements. I consider myself an atheist today, but I was raised to believe in God. The description of people of faith as ignorant is valid.
I can take a stab at your question about DNA and proteins without prejudice. If my answer is wrong,
I don''t know everything, but not ignorant in the larger picture.
I would guess DNA came first as proteins presume an already living organism. DNA is made up of 4 amino acids, some of which can be synthesized in chains like DNA in the lab. How am I doing? - Reply to this comment

Is that the best you can do Floyd? Answer the question, since you think you''re so smart! Ahh... that''s right Floyd, you can''t answer the question, so you''re only reply is to badmouth others. Typical pseudo-science proponent behavior! - Reply to this comment

- What about Obama''s minister and mentor? Like his mentor Rev. Wright, Obama''''s religion appears to be essentially racial and political rather than universal or spiritual or behavioral, although they appropriate traditional Biblical vocabulary for expressing it. The Old Testament expresses a primarily racial religion as well, so it''''s better suited to Wright and Obama''''s wants than the universalist New Testament. Similarly, the Afrikaaners'''' Dutch Reformed Church found much inspiration in the Old Testament. In summary, Reverend Wright went with Minister Farrakhan to visit Col. Gadaffi in 1984, three years before Obama decided to join his church out of all the churches he had visited as part of his ethnic organizing. And in November 2007, Reverend Wright gives Minister
Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award named after himself. There seems to be a pattern here, one that somebody as astute as Sen. Obama would have noticed long before. The Farrakhan connection is not an anomaly, it''''s a window into the now-historically important question of who Obama ... well, not into who Obama is (that''''s a complicated question), but into who he has long wanted to be. And Obama? He doesn''''t hate anyone-he''''s going to be a uniter, not a divider, like Bush was. And if you believe that, you''''ll believe anything!! - Reply to this comment
- If Huck was hiding something, he would have hid it and not had the show aired. America is bothered by Huckabee''s friend but your not conserned with Barack Huissen Obama''s background or name for that sake. Get real people, wake up, about the security issuess of this nation. Huckabee is a straight shooter and your diggin deep to find any issue.

I don''t deny anything. I just stated that I personally have no curiosity for it. You however are free to go on and do whatever your curiosity leads you into it. - Reply to this comment
- RowdyTexan2: "I took as much science as I wanna know in college. I am not a scientist and no CURIOSITY [curiousity] for it."
Res ipsa loquitur. (You can look it up.)
Let''s see. If the earth is 6000 years (or 6000 seconds or whatever) old, then all our research on carbon dating and DNA mutation is wrong, so that means our understanding of both particle physics and biochemistry are wrong. If we''re wrong about those, then we''re wrong about basic chemistry and biology.
And then there''s the little matter of the distances to the stars ... if the whole universe magically popped into existence around the time the Pyramids were built, then every single measurement of the speed of light and every astronomical observation over the last couple of centuries is off-base by factors of millions.
So, your lack of curiosity (www.dictionary.com) means you deny basic physics, basic chemistry, and basic biology. If the rest of us DO have the curiosity to try to figure out how the universe is put together but we''re 180 degrees off-base, I guess God gave us that thirst for knowledge just so He (or She, or It) can sit back and laugh at the grand practical joke that He (or She, or It) has played on us.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster will endeavor to forgive you. - Reply to this comment
