Grandma Dingbat is so excited about this letter to the editor to the IndyStar:
Quote | Gordon Rose Let's open minds, textbooks to intelligent design theories Intricacies of Earth life-forms, microscopes challenge evolution ideas
|
microscopes? What's going on here? Quote |
In our school systems today, science, with its dramatic and continual advancement in knowledge, has to be one of the most interesting as well as important subjects being taught. Strangely enough, it is here that we are teaching unchallenged, the biggest lie in education -- the theory of evolution.
|
What a tard. Quote | Not that the theory shouldn't be taught -- it should, simply because it is believed to be true by so many scientists. But the latest research with modern tools such as the electron microscope, have ruled out any possibility of life on our planet occurring by accident.
|
I would love to see some of the electron microscope images he's referring to. Quote | Modern, competent scientists can show that the unbelievable complexity of design of the human cell, for example, demands the acknowledgement of a designer, or an intelligence far higher than anything we can imagine.
|
'A few fanatical lawyers and philosophers with fax machines' =/= 'modern, competent scientists with modern tools' Quote |
Unfortunately for our students, those in control of the science curriculum have defined science in such a narrow way that only the theory of evolution is allowed to be considered as the explanation for all of the varied life forms on Earth.
|
Ain't nobody gonna stand up for Jesus? Quote |
They do this by demanding a "natural" explanation for the evidence before us, rather than the most "logical" explanation of the evidence. That is the only way they can keep the pseudo-science of evolution going and being unchallenged in the classroom. Critical examination of the theory itself is not found in high school textbooks, and therefore not discussed as part of the course study. Why not?
|
I know! Why aren't creationist lies taught as truth? The nerve. Quote | The bacterial flagellum, for example, is so small that more than 1,000 could fit in the period at the end of this sentence. Its propulsion system consists of dozens of interactive components clearly designed and functioning together as a variable-speed, reversible, rotary motor
|
Hell I bet it even says Evenruud on the side! Quote | capable of turning 100,000 revolutions per minute. That is 10 times faster than a NASCAR race engine!
|
Argumentum ad NASCAR? Somebody call Mark Isaak. (Don't call Mark Isaak) Quote | And, it can stop and reverse itself in one-quarter of a turn! Common sense -- good, logical reasoning -- tells us that this did not come about by accident.
|
Common sense is wrong. Welcome to Science 101. Quote | But our kids in school are required to believe it did, simply because close-minded educators in control of curriculum are afraid to admit a higher intelligence had to be involved . . . and this lies outside their blind, self-imposed restriction which says they must only explain it by "natural" causes. So they teach a lie instead. The "religious" smokescreen that die-hard evolutionists keep using is keeping our kids from developing their critical thinking skills and learning truth in science.
|
That should be Truth in Science, I think. Quote | Instead, they are force-fed a canned, preordained theory that sounded good back in 1859, but does not stand up to the rigorous research and testing of the 21st century. |
A preordained theory? What does he mean preordained? And a canned theory? What's this guy trying to say?
Quote | Gordon Rose is a retired field engineer with NCR. |
I am Steve's complete lack of surprise.
If we could somehow give Gordon an IQ implant, it would have been a much shorter letter.
"Hi, I'm Gordon Rose. I'm a biology layman, and all the biology experts in the world disagree with me about a fundamental idea in biology. Maybe thousands of experts know more than my dumb ass. I think I'll just STFU."
