You say that as if this is the most popular thread on ATS and we couldn't possibly be talking about anything else in other sections of the forums.
The funny thing about Syria, though... It's the same deal as what you just said but worse. We could all be against it, and it won't even matter. The American government has not cared what you think about their ongoing Haliburton&co Vs. The Middle East. Even if the Syrian government did use chems on their own people, what is the US going to do? Oh right, show up and kill a bunch of civillians, take over the country, introduce a new guy who will screw up in 12 years, rinse & repeat. Your tax dollars at work.
Now, if you don't mind, we're busy trying to explain to adults the difference between fact (scientific theory) and fiction ([insert unverifiable deity here]).

I also think evolution should be removed if it insists on teaching Macro vertical development of species into other kinds. There is zero proof of it no matter how many times the adherents of evolution scream there is proof.
We can talk about natural selection, extinction, mutations, cellular biology and the issue of massive data to create living systems which points to intelligent design.
It seems to me this is a very difficult issue because of the strong feelings involved in it. It's too bad we can't just allow for both viewpoints to be expressed and for no teacher being allowed to indoctrinate their viewpoint into the matter.

I hope you start reading your own clans stuff ... there is no junk DNA. I do hope you actually start reading the science literature which proves they can't support evolution from the fossil record, their experiments, or hoaxes, but it's been nice watching you twist everything to sound like you can.
So many scientists are struggling with the lack of evidence, and now with real dino tissue that should not be, it's really getting hard to drink that kool-aid for some honorable scientists. But, like I said, it's fun watching you all do the mental gymnastics, you are quite limber.
We urge biologists not be afraid of junk DNA. The only people that should be afraid are those claiming that natural processes are insufficient to explain life and that evolutionary theory should be supplemented or supplanted by an intelligent designer (e.g., Dembski 1998; Wells 2004). ENCODE’s take-home message that everything has a function implies purpose, and purpose is the only thing that evolution cannot provide. Needless to say, in light of our investigation of the ENCODE publication, it is safe to state that the news concerning the death of “junk DNA” have been greatly exaggerated.

Funny how scientist's findings are accepted when it fits the agenda at hand.
They are not all hoaxters when it suits the ID crowd. Careful your double standard is showing.
Aww, you sound like a crying baby. I reflect back a smidgeon of your attitude and you act like I have committed the worst posting crime of all time. Gee.... maybe the mirror worked!
I tell you what, why don't you just leave this thread, and stop giving me more opportunities to show how inane your arguments are? Or is it this ego issue that somehow you have to have the last word? Yes, I think that is exactly what it is. When I don't like a thread, I delete it from my list of threads I am watching and therefore I am not tempted to chime in again.
You have not proved any points. You have just repeated over and over that evolution is fact and scientific despite the plethora of information I and others have shared. You are intellectually dishonest and in some need to believe you are right regardless of the evidence provided that disproves evolution.
Have a great day AI, and by all means stop trolling my thread!
Masque, I am happy to debate, but the personal attacks have been coming from the other side for some time. Let them post something to debate this, and allow others to post please rather than closing the thread. They have turned this contentious so it would be closed. That's all they have wanted since I posted this thread.
I appreciate your monitoring this.
