No, BonSeff, schools in Kansas object to their children being taught Darwin's synthesis as fact. That is a far cry from denying "evolution".

Bonseff, as a child of the Kansas school system, I can whole-heartedly, without hesitation call flagellum, a fucking moron. the practice of not teaching evolution is shared only by the few small christian academies of the state, no where near a substantial part of our population.

you're charming, version6. But one must define what one means by "evolution". My understanding of the issue in Kansas was that they are, as I stated above, opposed to their children being taught Darwin's synthesis as fact.
Evolution can mean:
1. Change over time / speciation.
or
2. Darwinian Blind-Watchmaker type gradualism.

I know of no one who denies the first definition of "evolution".

how can we NOT evolve?! it's only adaptation!!! how can we NOT adapt?!
how can we NOT change??????!
ugh.

i never messwith ou flagellum.... but are you judging or just inquiring?
just curious
- flagellum0
That species can change over time, is indesputible.
- Antonelli0
viruses can change right before our eyes! they are living cells!
$!&^#$%&!^@#%$!!!!
- version30
flagellum, do you even live here? or are you just spew your bs for all to be annoyed?
the public school system here will teach you evolution, i could even call on some family, cousins in elementary and middle school, as evidence that the statement that kansas does not teach evolution is only that kansas is not required to teach evolution, but as fart as the practices of the school systems in the metropolitan areas, common sense reigns and religion is an option, not a dictated way of life.

um... changing 'one's ways' is a little different than leaving the trees to walk on two legs and run a Mortgage company...... btw... if we evolved from Apes...
... why are there still Apes?

Antonelli: settle down. Viruses are renegade genetic material in a category of their own. And yes, they mutate. Of course viruses remain viruses.

i know a couple of apes.... good friends of mine... brut... dumb... big... but good people

pony, you cannot be serious.
i'm not talking about "changing one's ways".

version6: what do common sense and religion have to do with teaching good science in schools? The reason that Darwin's synthesis is challenged and will continue to be, is because it lack's supporting evidence. This issue isn't about religion, it's about the data.

the way you worded it in your last post made it seem like 'evolution' is purely 'adapting'...'changing'...... evolution suggests a massive reworking of the species...
... if we 'needed' to adapt and evolve into humans...
... WHY ARE THERE STILL APES?!! :)
So some 'stuff' evolves... and some doesn't?
- gramme0
In 7,000 some odd years of recorded human history, a new species has yet to evolve from out of the ranks of another species.
Of course we, and the animals, adapt and change over time. People have generally gotten taller, longer lived, our brains have grown in weight if not intelligence. That has been irrefutably observed and catalogued. Nobody denies micro evolution.

as i've said before and will likely say again....
God is man's answer to "why?"
man's inability to know everything and the pride in being such an evolved predator, one can not easily sleep with that nagging question. In turn they make up a fairy tale of magic to blanket cover the unknowns.
that's cool with me, just don't wonder why i laugh and compare you to the guy you call crazy walking down the street talking to no one, he reminds me of you when you're on our knees humming to the pew in front of you for a chance to eat a cracker you've bastardized into the body of christ.

you guys are weird

version6: all you had to say was, "good point. I got nothin."
