The Anti-Evolution Movement in Texas Highlights Idiot America

Open minded but not empty minded?
Have you heard of fossils and carbon dating, core samples from the Earth and from glaciers? Do you know the state of the scientific methodology that is a record of our planet's geological history over millions of years? Haven't you been informed of research that shows that evolution is still occurring among some species even now? Or do you just pick or choose the science that you want to because it affirms your views?
The theory of evolution has much evidence to support, if not prove it's probability as truth. I believe this, but it does nothing to dissuade me from a belief in an intelligent force creating existence even now, and I can only sadly smile at those who would limit that Creative Power that is so unlimited that we can scarcely conceive it's full nature.
And it is particularly unlikely that a king who was more interested in controlling his populace than in spiritual truth, got it right. You do a great disservice to what many call God in suggesting that it couldn't have created or allowed evolution to transpire. Haven't you heard, the Lord works in mysterious ways!?!
We humans, through whatever forces of creation, have been given very fine minds with which to inquire into the true nature of reality, and not to do so is sad, to discourage it is shameful, and I dare say heretical in disservice to the seeking of truth.

The Anti-Evolution Movement in Texas Highlights Idiot America
The author has missed the difference between science and scientific philosophy.
Science tests a hypothesis based on research of evidence. But it is not possible to test evolution in this way. Evolution tries to tell us what happened several billion years ago based on less than a lifetime of observation. This is just as ludicrous as observing the weather for one afternoon and trying to tell everyone that you know what the weather was like three hundred years ago on the same date. This is not science but scientific philosophy. Can this really be a sign of intelligence, or could it be another example of Idiot America?
The Living Bible and Prayer
From Romans 1:19-22:
"For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God had made and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse when they stand before God at judgement day. Yes, they knew about him all right, but they wouldn't admit it or worship him or even thank him for all his daily care. And after a while they began to think up silly ideas of what God was like and what he wanted them to do. The result was that their foolish minds became dark and confused. Claiming themselves to be wise without God, they became utter fools instead."
Please join me in prayer as you read:
Lord, I thank you for US News and this author, as they have given your people an opportunity to glorify your name and proclaim your great truths. I especially pray for those who speak in opposition to your name; that you would continue to bring circumstances into their lives to confront them; that they, in time, would choose to seek you and find you; that their hearts would be softened to accept your Word and come to know of your great sacrifice and love for them. We thank you and praise you for all of your majestic creation and for the precious gift of life itself. In Jesus Christ's Holy Name We Pray. Amen.

Those States that foster and adopt religious doctrine over rational thought and scientific study should be allowed to secede from the Union. We as a nation would be better off without them. Texas is a special case, they should be encouraged to separate from the USA. The sooner the better. I'm sick of seeing the moronic drivel they like to spout. It makes me worry about the future of the nation. So it's important for us to allow them to go their separate way. Left to their beliefs they will die off in a few generations. Of course we will need to repatriate those that want to return to the Union and a be members of a rational population.
What science is limited to

Understood. But that does not prove God does not exist or is not involved in the process. Who created the electrons to be able to be discharged in the atmosphere? Who created the atmosphere for that matter? What causes the electrons to behave the way they do? Who gave electrons their properties? Science and God are not in opposition. Science may be able to explain the "How?" but it cannot explain the "Why?". Both questions need to be answered in order to obtain the entire truth.
"It's this kind of mindset that transformed lightning as the wrath of gods to an atmospheric discharge of electrons."
It is also this kind of mindset that transformed a human being from God's beautiful creation with value to a ball of tissue that can be murdered at will for one's own convenience 43 million times per year.
What Science Is
@DocofFL
Natural science is explored assuming there is a natural cause. It's this kind of mindset that transformed lightning as the wrath of gods to an atmospheric discharge of electrons.
Evolution
It is sad to read how sure you are that the "Theory of Evolution" is the only credible explanation for the world as it is. Check out the web site of Reasons to Believe at Reasons.org. The organization is staffed by PhD graduates of recognized universities. One, astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink currently serves as a member of the research faculty at UCLA.
ApostasyUSA is a perfect example of...
...someone who believes nothing created everything. Which, by the way, is a scientific impossibility.
He said: "Most scientists are believers in some god or another, but what is to be gained by simply assuming that god is why everything is."
My question is what is to be gained by simply assuming that God is NOT why everything is? Even though science allows us to detrmine "the details of what our universe is made of and how things work" that does not automatically exclude God from the picture. Or, at least, it shouldn't. Science helps us understand the world around us better and actually helps the universe declare the glory of God. But it can only help us because of the eyes, nose, hands, mouths, and brains that God has given to us.
