I suppose so. It just seems to me that in any supposed "science vs religion" argument (which in my opinion isn't even necessary) turns into an entire holocaust of straw people.

I wasn't complaining about the explanation. It is likely that davin, if he indeed studies astrophysics, has a more technical understanding of everything he explained in general terms so we could understand. I meant that being aware of this general explanation (which we are exposed to in...

My post was probably more directed at those following yours, It was good of you to type all that up to explain to people who didn't know.

For the second time, do not use your own lack of understanding as a reason for not embracing science!

What exactly do you expect me to counter? It is, as far as we know, the best explanation we currently have for the formation of Earth based on the evidence we can observe. It is probably fairly accurate, though it may be tidied up a bit in the future should new technology/means of gathering...

Woah, you guys can type up a bunch of stuff that can be found on wikipedia or otherwise by a two word google search, then add on a bunch of slurs. How wonderfully critical-thinking-ish of you to be able to do that.

That's ridiculous, I don't know how anyone could take her seriously after reading that.

Are you like, gonna try every degree for a week?

I'll try :) You're all looking at this through a heavily biased Western viewpoint. Afghanistan is a sovereign nation (as far as I know) and they have the right to enforce the laws that they established there according to their culture and tradition. How would you feel if there was a...

Please don't use such enormous straw-men when arguing in favour of God's existence. You make the rest of us look bad.

Stop doing that. The fact that none of this science arose from the Koran in the first place proves you are changing your beliefs to suit the facts as they are discovered, hence the Koran is not absolutely true.

You've been Dean-Approved (r)(tm)(c) Brogan ;)

Re: is it true that private school students tend to get a higher UAI than public scho So much misinformation about the whole HSC/UAI thing. Even most teachers don't understand how it works, and for every thread you explain it, 12 more appear with stupid questions.

Democracy produced an actual civil war in the USA, do you think they should have abandoned it?

Yeah, I for one don't believe the Noah's Ark story actually occured. Perhaps it was a metaphor for something, or an old Jewish myth, or... either way, it doesn't matter much. That sounds like faith :p

Racist?

Though Australia is something like 91% white, while America is more like 60%... Anyway, if Australia doesn't have a culture in the sense that other nations do, perhaps this is for the best. There seems to be no shortage of people being proud of being Australian (most notably with respect to...

Yes, but after the prophet created Islam they retrospectively claimed every other prophet to have been a Muslim since the beginning of time, hence you are correct from a non-Muslim point of view while he is paraphrasing the official stance of his religion towards all people (that they choose)...

Woah, I wasn't bagging out teachers. I feel sorry for them too, for having to teach the stuff! I've heard they're also largely treated by those in charge as though they're not capable of teaching anything without having it spelt out to them, too. I am also well aware their profession is one...

me love you long time
