| | + | :Obviously, Rootpilots6 does not know the history |
| | + | behind Pastafarianism because it ''was'' created as a |
| | + | mock religion to protest the actual allowing of |
| | + | creationism to be taught in shools. They did do that. |
| | + | :Contrary to your belief, the creator of |
| | + | Pastafarianism did have a long rational debate at the |
| | + | Kansas State Board of Education. With their descision |
| | + | continue to allow the teaching of Creationism, The |
| | + | creator of Pastafarianism proposed that the theory |
| | + | according to the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti |
| | + | Monster should be taught in schools to as a |
| | + | ''satire''. Satires are certainly not childish. |
| | + | :Now if you would suggest that a neutral classroom |
| | + | should introduce all theories into the clasroom, why |
| | + | would they only introduce the ''Christian'' theory. |
| | + | That's Christian spin. None of these other theories |
| | + | are based on scientific method except for Evolution |
| | + | which is why it is inane to introduce a massive amount |
| | + | of theological theories into the classroom that have |
| | + | no scientific merit whatsoever. |
| | + | :Yet, all of these early creationist scientists didn't |
| | + | actually study any science that would have |
| | + | contradicted the Bible. However, this changed with |
| | + | Charles Darwin. He never doubted the Bible as being |
| | + | literal until his studies based on scientific method |
| | + | contradicted the Bible. Nor did science only arise |
| | + | because of a Christian creationist point of view. In |
| | + | fact, the most contributing era to science was the |
| | + | classical antiquity period which was before |
| | + | Christianity arose. |
| | + | :And yes, that is the reason that most other civilised |
| | + | countries teach only evolution in their schools. |
| | + | :Now if we don't have to teach any theories based on |
| | + | Zeus, Brahman, Russell's teapot, or even the Flying |
| | + | Spaghetti Monster, why should we have to teach |
| | + | theories based on the Christian viewpoint of a deity |
| | + | which doesn't follow scientific method either? |
| | + | :Yes, it would be biased to only include the Christian |
| | + | God's theory. Please explain to me why the other |
| | + | deities are of less significance. At the moment, the |
| | + | naturalist theory is looked at because it is the only |
| | + | one of all of them that is based on ''scientific |
| | + | method''. Now that is definitely fair. |
| | + | :Yet again, the bias from religious pressure groups is |
| | + | the promotion of a theory that is not based on |
| | + | scientific method. Atheist pressure groups are |
| | + | actually promoting Evolution which is based on |
| | + | scientific method. |
| | + | :It does actually make sense that religion has been |
| | + | used to invoke power on the gullible. History shows |
| | + | it. |
| | + | :Now you missed something here... Christians are |
| | + | trying to impose their ''pseudoscientific'' views onto |
| | + | the classroom while atheists are trying to impose |
| | + | their ''scientific'' views on the classroom. |
| | + | :Your argument is ironically the one that is |
| | + | one-sided: Christian biased sided. However, I will |
| | + | admit that I am biased to science. [[User:Wolverhampton|Wolverhampton]] 19:11, 4 January 2008 (EST) |
