I was just wondering to what extend are we allowed to throw around blatant lies if they contradict one’s holy book. I am referring to the ‘evolution is only a theory’ argument constantly bounded around by the ignorant. An opinion is one thing, but a lie?

Would parents be allowed or respected to get away with telling their children that 1+1=3?

If God said people came to being through a gradual process of evolution, would there be so much opposition to evolution?

Anyway back to the subject. I have recently been touched by the noddely appendage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and have come to realise that gravity (as we know it) is in fact intelligent falling.

I am, therefore, requesting people to support my petition for intelligent falling to be taught in all science classes.

Thank you.

Its a fact secsy just do your homework, Isaac Newton was not a dumb dumb

I am dissapointed there are no supporters. So should we allow our religious schools to continue to teach creationism for the sake of tolerance without some response?

I think that people are seeing it as a "joke" thread.

Isn't Gravity a law?

When I was taught Newton's Theory of Gravity at school I was taught it as if it were a fact. When I later became aware that Newton's Theory of Gravity had been supereded by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, that rather than a force, as Newton had described it, gravity was in fact the curvature of spacetime, then I felt a bit cheated. I think the trouble is at schools they try to teach science without teaching the scientific method - at least that was the case at my school. If people were taught what a theory actually is, the fact that it is more than just a guess, that it is a hypothesis that has been tested and that fits all the available evidence, then perhaps we would have people saying that such and such is just a theory. What could be better than being a theory?
