I heard about this, it's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It reminds me of 4th grade when this kid argued with me that dinosaurs aren't real because the Bible doesn't mention it.

Of course they do, it's Tennessee.

I AM RETARDED AND NEED A BOOK TO TELL ME MY VIEWS. Which side am I referring too? It's a mystery!

Calling it a myth is the nice way of putting itl... Hopefully the board will realise that truth is more important than the possibility of offending people. [QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;21229360]I don't necessarily agree or disagree with that father on this. Is evolution false? Chances are, no. However, there is nothing that says evolution means atheism. Theistic evolution is a somewhat popular belief, the belief that evolution was used by a Diety to create the world. However, the book shouldn't bash Christians or theistic evolution, regardless of scientific belief.[/QUOTE] Calling it a myth is a statement of fact, not 'bashing'.

[QUOTE=Hivemind;21268187]Calling it a myth is the nice way of putting it...[/QUOTE] I agree.

[QUOTE=Mexican;21261253]Back to the biology book... I'll be honest I don't see the point of the creationist reference. It seems to just be there to piss off Christians. Just ignore creationism completely like most textbooks do.[/QUOTE] Really? You read the chapter?

Zimmerman even said and I quote, "I'm not smart enough to pick that stuff up, they are." If you can't pick that up then why are you in that position?

[QUOTE=Dr Pepper;21275756]Sad but true[/QUOTE] aren't you a Christian?

Th89 do you mind posting a copy of that textbook? I would like to read it. But creationism is a fucking biblical myth.

Haha, he said 'my moms' in the first line. [editline]12:16PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DrPharmacist;21283239]Th89 do you mind posting a copy of that textbook? I would like to read it. But creationism is a fucking [B]biblical [I]myth[/I][/B].[/QUOTE] :geno:

I live in Georgia I can say this. Despite whether or not it's redneck it's still in the bible belt I've been there.

calling creationism a myth =/= criticizing Christianity, if anything it's more criticizing Judaism. Now if the book was a history book and said that Jesus didn't exist (which would be going a bit to far) then it would be criticizing Christianity. Then again it's bible belt Christians so what you gonna do.

fox news = Christian Retards

[QUOTE=steekdan;21229270]Lol Christians.[/QUOTE] Lol Athiests. On a serious note: science

Oh hey Zimmermann, you go to my school.

There's no proof of creationism anyways.
