Evolution is a FALSE religion that should not be paid for to be taught in school.
We are not monkeys and great-grandpa was not a rock that got rained on.

Ignoring the truth doesn't make it false. If you do not believe in evolution, I'll assume you believe the story of Genesis. Do you then believe humans have been on this earth, without change over successive generations for the average estimate of about 23 million years it's taken for the light from that picture of the Whirlpool Galaxy to reach us here on our planet? Can you not believe that DNA replication can happen with errors, creating variations that survive or die depending on the reproductive abilities of those born with them?

I don't normally downvote for positions I disagree with I downvoted you because I do not believe in giving away influence on this platform to people who are willfully ignorant of the real world.

Sort:  

The speed of light in a vacuum is a physical constant. Like just about everything in science, it's taken us time to narrow down its speed but we have it worked out quite well now. Here's a brief history of experimentation and estimation. It was estimated to within 1210 Km/s of our current accurate understanding in 1726! http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/measure_c.html

Saying that our estimates of the speed of light have changed over time doesn't do anything to refute the fact that the light from M51 has traveled for about 23 million years to reach us. If you want to further argue in defense of ignorance I suggest using a better argument.

Yes Noganoo, I am aware of the full title of the book, I have a copy sitting on my shelf, but for the sake of brevity, I shortened it to its popular title.

I don't know what mathmaticians you speak of, who busy themselves in the science of biology when making their calculations. But I never said evolution happens over an infinite amount of time, I said; achingly long time.

Anyway, evolution is a 100% scientific fact, it is absolutely unarguable, whilst, like any other theory, it may be amended in future to allow for new discoveries (rather like Newton's Theory Of Gravity), it will not be fundamentally changed.

Any mathematician who says there must be a creator, is a theologian, or a religious mathematician who is basing that statement on her religious beliefs, not mathematical.

Oh and here's a pretty Hindu quote for you, which is as meaningless as any quote from any holy text, including the one you posted... Nice sentiment though, which is probably the original point of most religions.

Meditating on the lotus of your heart,
in the center is the untainted;
the exquisitely pure, clear, and sorrowless;
the inconceivable;
the unmanifest,
of infinite form;
blissful, tranquil, immortal;
the womb of Brahma.
