There is so much talkign about not being able to falsify it.

But how the hell could you ever falsify "God did it."?

Also sobe, misnomer, how so? It's an encyclopedia writen using (ultra)conservative 'fact'; hence conservapedia.

Most of the article on evolution is quoted from various other sources and peiced together and a way that best fits the conservative view of evolution.

With a minor bit of the author's opinion tossed in.

The problem is that the authors opinion is blatant falsification. There exists thousands of examples of fossils that show stages of evolution. Most major museums will have fossilized species on display that are obvious precursors to modern animals, and often have an undeniable progression in changing characteristics from fossil to fossil.

But, if you hold your hands over your ears and hum loud enough, anyone can deny that this evidence exists and continue believing what they've been taught.

I'm willing to bet there are a lot more archaeologists and paleontologists that believe in the theory of evolution than creationism. Is this due to creationists not wanting to dig in the dirt for fear of what they will find or is it because those that do find the evidence irrefutable?

In any case, I've seen some articles by creationists that make a much better case against the theory of evolution than the fools at conservapedia.

The error is in linking Conservatism to Religion. They are not any more mutually inclusive than Liberalism is to Atheism.

I'll agree with this, despite my being a Liberal Atheist.

I'm Conservative mostly, but I'm certainly not religious...not even a little bit.

Not exactly Athiest however, I'm just not convinced either 'side' is right on the issue.

I'm convinced that creationism is a crock of shit. I am not convinced that there is no god though.

I do believe that there are things that happen that science cannot explain... yet.

Like the incredibly real dream I had the night my grandmother died. In the dream I was searching for her in an apartment building and found her in a hidden room. The room was round, pure white, and had my grandmother in a rocking chair in the exact center, crying softly. When I asked her what was wrong she just looked at me with tears in her eyes and the dream ended.

I went downstairs and immediately told my parents about the dream, since it had been such a powerful dream and definitely bothered me. They just stared at me and then explained that they were just about to tell me that she'd passed away in the night...

Its crap like that that has me convinced that there are forces at work we have no comprehension of. I don't believe its a deity or even anything supernatural... its just something we haven't hit on yet.

Im having trouble connecting your sarcasm to any real life events that you could be mocking.

DOVER, Pa. - When talk at the high school here turns to evolution, biology teachers have to make time for Charles Darwin as well as his detractors.

With a vote last month, the school board in rural south-central Pennsylvania community is believed to have become the first in the nation to mandate the teaching of �intelligent design,� which holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by an unspecified higher power.

Critics call the change in the ninth-grade biology curriculum a veiled attempt to require public schoolchildren to learn creationism, a biblical-based view that credits the origin of species to God. Schools typically teach evolution, the theory that Earth is billions of years old and that life forms developed over millions of years.

Pick one, any one of them, and I'll make however many connections you need.
