Bill Nye, 'Science Guy,' condemns creationist influence in classrooms

I don't oppose the teaching of evolution....I oppose the teaching of your faith choices about what evolution means without also teaching other faith choices....not having done so for the last few generations results in what we see here.....people who grew up mistakenly believing their faith choices are science......just as people who don't know much about math don't realize that dividing one by three leaves a remainder.....

You are opposed to teaching science that contradicts your faith and call it atheist beliefs and now "faith choices." There are no "faith choices" or atheist beliefs being taught. Your probably as stupid as ditzy and think that teaching that the remainder from dividing 1 by 3 is simply an artifact of base 10 and does not mean that equal thirds cannot exist would be teaching "atheist beliefs" or a "faith choice." For simpletons like you base 10 or the decimal system was ordained by God and is probably proof of his design, like a banana.

Your faith is not going to be taught. It is not science and your criticisms of evolution are an attack on science in general. You propose to question the accepted science supporting evolution with supernatural or magical beliefs that are not observable, testable, measurable, repeatable or predictable. But why would we only teach your magical beliefs and if magic is a proper counter then is science even useful?

You scumbags always lie about your support of teaching your faith. Since you are willfully stupid, it is easy to uncover your intent and no matter how many times you rebrand your attacks on science will never succeed.

for those not mathematically challenged it is possible to be aware that both "1/3 +1/3 + 1/3 = 1" and "you cannot divide 1 by 3 and come up with 3 equal parts" are both true statements of mathematical reality.......no faith choices are required.....I always thought it amusing that the board liberals who didn't understand this made a point of attacking Dixie over that simple fact.....
 
Ok, I usually don't argue the sources- but seriously? fighting science with a post from creationscience? That's like quoting from the flat earth society.

Patriot66, try again with a better source.

Oh wait, there isn't one - science supports evolution

No, they both can't be true.

1/3 = 1/3
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1

You could rephrase the second statement to include the point that decimal notation makes the even thirds a bit unclear and so we say .33333e = 1/3.

I just looked over an older thread (2009) and you seemed to understand he was wrong though you showed similar confusion on other topics within the thread. What happened? Has your aversion to atheist beliefs made you more stupid?

doesn't science itself require questioning that which is "accepted".....particularly when it can be seen to be inaccurate?......

You dropped context, chickenshit. Of course, it should be questioned. Not with magic. Your assertion that the fossil record can be alternately explained by the idea that all hominids were created by the character from your creation myth is not based on science.
 

From your source.

Each of these evidences, examined individually, is enough to convince most rational people that evolution is a false doctrine and the earth is, in fact, young!


There are no known biological processes for evolution to higher levels of organization and complexity—mutations are overwhelmingly degenerative and none are “uphill” (that is, unequivocally beneficial) in the sense of adding new genetic information to the gene pool.

Hmmmm, someone should inform these "atheist believers" (pmp for scientists), from a story I found today.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/15/s...-predictable-results.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

To better understand how the bacteria swarm, Dr. Xavier and his colleagues allowed them to evolve. They seeded petri dishes with a few hundred microbes and gave them a day to swarm and reproduce. The next day, they drew a small sample of the bacteria from the dishes and used them to seed new ones.


The scientists reasoned that, with each generation, new mutations would arise from time to time. If a mutation helped bacteria thrive in this new environment, it might become more common because of natural selection.


And so it did.


Within a few days, the evolution of the bacteria took a dramatic turn. The bacteria became 25 percent faster than their ancestors — Dr. Xavier dubbed them “hyperswarmers.” A movie of hyperswarmers starkly illustrates how different they had become, able to fill up the entire dish.


“We thought, ‘Something weird has happened,'” said Dr. Xavier.


The hyperswarmers emerged in three lines of bacteria overseen by Dr. Xavier’s post-doctoral researcher Dave van Ditmarsch. Dr. Xavier and another lab member, Jen Oyler, each ran the experiment again. “I wanted to make sure this wasn’t just due to Dave’s magic fingers,” said Dr. Xavier.


But no matter who applied their fingers to the task, the result was the same. Out of 27 lines of bacteria, 27 evolved into hyperswarmers.


When the scientists put the hyperswarmers under a microscope, they could see what had changed. An ordinary P. aeruginosa sports a single tail. The hyperswarmers had evolved so that they had as many as half a dozen tails. Those extra tails gave the bacteria more speed.


To determine how the bacteria had gained their tails, Dr. Xavier and his colleagues sequenced the DNA of 24 lines of hyperswarmers. In 24 out of 24 cases, they discovered that they have gained a mutation in the same gene, called FleN.


FleN encodes a protein that controls other genes involved in building tails. Somehow — Dr. Xavier doesn’t yet know how — the mutations cause FleN to produce a multitude of tails, all of which are fully functional.


Using their many tails, the hyperswarmers were able to get out in front of ordinary bacteria and reach fresh food first. They could then reproduce faster, leaving behind more offspring. As a result, each population of the bacteria rapidly turned into pure hyperswarmers.


 
That's not what you have said. You claim the science supporting evolution is atheist beliefs.

again, wrong...........you have misstated my comment a half dozen times already and each time makes you look a little bit more stupid and a little more dishonest.....what I said was the exact opposite of what you want to pretend I said......
 
lol....really?......which one are you claiming is false.......pick one if you want to become the new "Dixie".......

What are you dense?

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1
1/3 = 1/3

...therefore you can "divide 1 by 3 and come up with three equal parts." Honestly, you understood this in 2009. Are you becoming more stupid by the day? Ditzy claimed what you did with the latter of your statements.

You said, "public school system teaching atheist beliefs as if it were science." You think the evidence for evolution and more specifically human evolution (as that seems to offend your faith more) is atheist beliefs.

take it in the context is is offered....as evidence of your stupidity.....and your statement that the fossil record can be explained as proof of common descent is YOUR myth and is not based on science......

Evolution explains the fossil record. It is based on science and backed by genetics and other scientific evidence. It all fits together. You attempt to challenge the evidence from the fossil record with nothing more than some fairy tale about all hominids being created separately.
 
What are you dense?

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1
1/3 = 1/3

...therefore you can "divide 1 by 3 and come up with three equal parts." Honestly, you understood this in 2009. Are you becoming more stupid by the day? Ditzy claimed what you did with the latter of your statements.

and it remains a fact that when you divide one by three you have an infinitely smaller and smaller remainder that never goes away......apparently Dixie is STILL smarter than you.....
 
You said, "public school system teaching atheist beliefs as if it were science."
yes.....I did.....
You think the evidence for evolution and more specifically human evolution (as that seems to offend your faith more) is atheist beliefs.
I think your idiotic beliefs are not science....is that clearer for you now?......if so, stop claiming I said science is an atheist belief....if not, continue being a fucking idiot....

Evolution explains the fossil record.
first, to be consistent, you need to be arguing that the fossil record explains evolution, but I understand things like logic are new to you.....second fossil are simply evidence that a creature existed.....that evidence is not sufficient to prove a link between one fossil and another......if both were created separately you would still have the same fossil record.....all of the evidence of science available in any field does not negate that possibility......

you have chosen to accept macro-evolution as the best explanation of the existence of human beings.....it is not proven by science, it is simply what you want to believe....

again, the fact that you've grown up believing it to be science demonstrates the failures of public education and the need to improve it.......

Apparently you are just as dumb as ditzy, maybe dumber. We can divide 1 by 3 and come up with three equal parts. You even stated as much by saying 1/3 + 1/3 +1/3 =1. So either your first statement was wrong or your second. It was your second. 1 divided by 3 = 1/3. 1/3 = 1/3.

yes.....I did.....

It has nothing to do with my beliefs. That's just a red herring and ad hom.

The scientific evidence supports evolution of all life and that is what should be and is taught. It's not atheist beliefs. It is the scientific evidence and overwhelming consensus. There are virtually no theistic scientist who work in an associated field that disagree with it.

The fossil record is part of the evidence explained by and supporting the theory of evolution. Nothing wrong with MY logic. Again, I did not cite the fossil evidence alone. Genetics helps to establish the relationship between species.

Again, your alternate explanation of the fossil record is not criticism based in science. It is based on the assumption of supernatural or magical forces for which there is zero proof.
