Do you know that you are victimizing scientists when you read and BELIEVE your biology book?

Science is based on fact alone and evolution isn't so yes it does make scientist look bad. Science needs to return to documented research, fact and plausible theories.

Whoa! Thanks so much for the LOGICAL information against evolution, especially the lie about us being 99 percent identical to chimps. I knew about some of the other forgeries, but thanks. What's disturbing, though, is that some of these things are still promoted by biology teachers in school as fact. For example, the industrial melanism and peppered moth example has still been used in high school biology courses, even AP Biology. Thanks for all the information; it definitely strengthens the idea of a God who wouldn't let this all happen by chance. \nThe only question that remains for the evolutionists, though, is why. Why would they want to support an idea that says we are related to monkeys? Why would they want to downgrade the status of man like this? I simply don't understand it. Though, according to classification, we are primates, we are much greater than that. We are humans. It mystifies me as to why evolutionists can't accept this idea.

wow, never thought of that before! I don't know about books, but I do know that the prevailing thought is that we should be careful what we let ourselves/our children watch on TV or play when it comes to videogames. I mean, there are all those cases, especially in America, where teenagers, and even younger children, have killed their families, strangers or fellow students. And have admitted that their behaviour was influenced by the violent videogames/playstation games they play. It's a modern phenomenon, and one we need to combat.\nBut I think books could definitely have the same effect, especially on the impressionable young mind. We should be careful.

Yes, there a conservative scientists as well.  Not surprising, there are also apolitical scientists that just want to focus on science.

A quotation by Harvey J Gold, Author of Mathematical Modelling of Biological Systems,  may go towards assisting your analysis of the situation:\n\n" The result of a mathematical development should be continuously checked against one's own intuition about what constitutes reasonable biological behaviour. Whenever such a check reveals disagreement, the following possibilities must be considered:\n\na : A mistake has been made in the formal mathematical development\n\nb: The starting assumptions are incorrect and/or constitute a too drastic oversimplification\n\nc: One's own intuition about the biological field is inadequately developed.\n\nd: A penetrating new principle has been discovered. "\n\nDo let me know whether you found meaning in the above, and if you did analyse your model based on the checks recommended by him, what among a,b,c,d was the reason of the discrepancy. Of course this is assuming that you have already established the discrepancy beyond doubt.

Biologists observe the world, develop hypotheses, and test them using falsifiable experiments with controls.

Jim im just reading the link that Nikki posted and here is a quote for that page: \n\n"The education system teaches children not to think. Any student that uses logic and solid scientific evident to question the Theory of Evolution is ridiculed and insulted into submission. The students that submit become non thinking robots that dare not question the dogma presented."\n\nHuh? Dont you think that they are turning they're own problems of illogical thought on to us as they are trying to grasp some form of reason as to why they should continue to believe? \n\nOh and another on that made me chuckle\n\n"A forth grade elementary school class was observed at the park playing a three-legged race game. The kids thought it was great fun. The teacher told them they were being trained to cooperate. Actually it was brainwashing kids into conforming to the system where they are not allowed to have individual thoughts or opinions."\n\nObviously doesnt understand what gene mutations are and that they are not neccesiarly a change for the better. Also dogs.....\n\n" The process of natural selection is not an evolutionary process. The DNA in plants and animals allows selective breeding to achieve desired results. Dogs are a good example of selective breeding. The DNA in all dogs has many regressive traits. A desired trait can be produced in dogs by selecting dogs with a particular trait to produce offspring with that trait."\n\nerm hello?? Why drag poor little fossils into this when they know nothing about them\n\n"Schools should be teaching that the earth, all life on earth and the entire cosmos was created by God because it is more scientifically consistent with science and the fossil record. Intelligent design can easily be seen in every detail of nature. The theory of evolution falls short consistently in the absence of intermediate species, the sudden appearance of giant dinosaurs and basic science."\n\nHaha the funniest one to date and most rediculous\n\n"Evolutionists claim environmental factors cause small changes in the offspring in the evolutionary chain. However, the environmental experience of the female cannot change the chromosomes within her eggs and cannot have any effect upon her offspring. Her body cannot go into the eggs contained within her ovaries at her birth to make an intelligent genetic changes. Females cannot be a part of the evolutionary theory for these reasons."\n\nIm getting bored of this now, I think its time for me bed. Jim read that link its too funny!

then by using a computer (scientific) you are spreading your ignorance

Yes and they should make a show about that. I can see it now, scientists shooting visitors with tranquilizer guns and tagging them for later research. Awesome...

yes but they are not aware that they are using the knowledge from science studies. example the herba plant they prescribed to cure a certain illness has scientific proofs because of the special compound present in the particular plant.

If you think science is so flawed why are you using a computer on the Internet?  You are using the machines created by the same scientists that you have so little respect for.  Doesn't that make you a hypocrite?

I would LOVE to read this book. Funny, isn't it, how college profs whine about Republicans trying to stifle free speech - but the colleges do that all the time. SCARY. Brown University's Women's Studies program even pulled their funding for Gabriel to speak, knowing that she was going to speak out against the treatment of women under Shira law. The Muslim group on that campus (Brown) protested Gabriel speaking because she is "too controversial". Yeah, someone who has lived under radical Islam would definitely be "too controversial" - she might actually present another side to the story. Makes you sick, doesn't it?

If you are attempting to question the validity of such important and scientifically PROVED theories such as the theory of evolution I suggest that you use stronger arguments than the one you just used ( It does not fit with modern scientific discoveries in molecular biology etc)

Mad As Hornets \nI must say I agree with your profile on why your angry... Hurting children is wrong.\n\nDo you believe in eco-tech and citizen awareness?\n\nTell us your plan!!!

you are right to some extent but it is important to publish as all the science work is dedicated to humanity....to serve it....it is man who is responsible how to handle it...like revolver can be used to prtect yourself and some use to kill other....i guess u agree!

yes I do think they should all be published. \nwhen a scientist comes up with a hypothesis and tests his hypothesis, the only way to see how "correct" it is, is for other people to copy his experiment. this is how today's theories came about--it is how all future theories will come about. if no one publishes their work, who would test it?\n\nif everyone is worried about anything getting into the hands of terrorists, no one would publish anything. you couldn't even email anyone or talk on Yahoo answers even....everyone else has access to these things. terrorists could be using the answers you give to other people. why worry????  just something to think about!
