in france, Scientology is not accepted as a religion.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

 Creationism is not a scientific theory, it's a theological principle. It can't be observed, tested or qualified. Evolution isn't really about how humans came to be directly, but how organisms mutate, adapt and proliferate. It's pretty much central to the entire field of biology, is testable and continues to guide medical and biological research. They're not competing theories. One is a story and one is demonstrable.

I'm not drinking the science kool-aid, I'm well aware of the wonderful "sciences" of past eras and the damage they have inflicted (Look up drapetomania if you're bored). Still, to equate divine creation and evolution as in competition is similar to equating gumballs to microprocessors. Even the Catholic church has endorsed evolution and said it's compatible to creation.

I wish Darwin had named that book anything BUT the Origin of Species. Some people never got past the title.

I did not think catholics were creationists, more of a protestant thing?  The monks at my catholic highschool taught us about Darwin and evolution with no qualms.  If I remember correctly, they argued that the great complexity of the universe is only more proof blah blah blah...

maybe it was just my church... alot of the folks were totally into the 'infallible word of god' thing.

but whatever. I thought abortion was ok and that made me the antichrist or some shit.

I knew there was a reason I was beginning to like the Frenchies.

Evolution is not compatible with a fundamental religion - be it a version of Judaism, Islam, Christianity or others. Evolution counters the creation story of the books of their faith and therefore is heretical. Catholicism is not a fundamental religion.

Fundamentalists of any stripe scare me.

2.2.  Posting about religion or politics or cop-talk are allowed on a probationary basis, but limited to the Politics board.   <edit:  this didn't work, so the politics boad is gone.   politics, religion, and cop-bashing are not allowed>

What part of this statement is confusing or unclear?
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent."
