I would just like to go on the record stating that I do not believe in this "love" theory either. As far as I'm concerned it goes right next to Christianity as something that would be nice if it was true, but is actually an invented idea used to help assuage our own fears and insecurities. |

Well, now we're getting into a semantic dissertation on what constitutes Theory and what constitutes Fact. In my view, Theory is a conglomeration of Facts in which a process can be determined by sequences of events, common characteristics, and expansive molecular osmosis. (When in doubt, mumble.

I wonder how different the bible would be if Darwin had existed before the time of Jesus. Hmmm. Gee, is it really no wonder evolution is never mentioned in the bible considering no one had ever THOUGHT of it 2000 years ago?? Imagine how amazed man of 2000 years ago would have been with some of the modern concepts and inventions we now take for granted. Advancements in medicine, technology, understanding of the world we're a part of. Why is there no room for advancement in religion? Why are we still clinging to 2000 year old ideas?!!! What if all of our concepts were based on what people back then believed? What if everything was just a matter of faith?
How long was it before we accepted that the Earth was not at the center of the universe? People were burned alive for being heretics for merely suggesting it. Thankfully there have been some advancements in thought. |

 They are both theories, why not teach them both and let the kids decide which they want to believe? I'd like to believe most people would pick the most logical one anyway. |

I have no problem with teaching kids about Creationism... in a religion class, or maybe even in History class. But teaching it in science class is just wrong. No matter what way you look at it, it ain't a scientific theory. Allow creationism in the science class and next you'll have to allow in astrology, perpetual motion theories, flat earth theory, hollow earth theory, etc., etc.... because, Hey!, they're all theories! |

The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that hollow-earth theory, which I mentioned above, is actually a pretty compelling theory, and should be taught in science class if creationism is. Consider these points:
1) The theory that the earth is solid has far less evidence to support it than does the theory of evolution. It's not like anyone has been down to the center of the earth to see if it's hollow or solid. Most geologists will admit that exactly what exists at the center of the earth is kind of a mystery.
2) The Bible says that the earth is hollow (I think). Doesn't it mention Hell being down there somewhere?
3) The theory of a hollow earth has a very long scientific pedigree. Edmund Halley himself (after whom the comet is named) believed that the earth was hollow.
So it's clear to me that Hollow-Earth theory deserves a place in the science class. |

Don't the Jews believe that it's only been 5600 yrs (I can't remember exactly) since the flood? I'm not really sure what gets taught in Israeli schools...as far as what parts of the Old Testament they actually teach. I do know that they learn about the Macabees (the tribe that is responsible for Channukah), and a book of Macabees is actually in the Catholic Bible.
It's hard for me to understand the beginnings of the Bible myself. I haven't been in that part of the teachings for quite a few years. What I was taught was a juvenile version, b/c I was a teenager. I read "Bones of Contention" when I was 15, and afterwards, I just was sure that if someone traced my family line back a million years, they would find Grunt the ape. I actually wanted to be an archaeologist (sp?). I thought I could find the missing link. A few years later I learned about what Catie Frates was writing about. There were so many unexplained parts of Evolution, Creation just seemed to answer more questions.
Like I said before. It's Faith. Even Evolution has a little bit of faith in it. I can't explain Faith. I can't explain God. I can't explain the pain I feel when I think what Hell holds for those who deny themselves Paradise. I don't want this to turn into a religious or scientific debate...I don't mind that is looks like more people believe in Evolution. Fine. I just know that when I look at my daughter, I know there is NO WAY she wasn't put together molecule-by-molecule by a force beyond comprehension. She is not the result of primordial sludge.
I'm done! |

Racism means that you are discriminated against because of your race. Not your religion.
Christianity is not a race.

Boo, even though i don't think 'dont mess with this' was aware of it, he did inadvertently stumble upon an interesting feature about the concept of race... that it's heavily mixed up with the idea of religion. (I was a TA for a class about the history of race for a couple of semesters, which is why I happen to know this). Apparently the western concept of race evolved out of the medieval christian idea of the differences between christians and non-christians... namely, that christians were fully human whereas non-christians were sub-human (and therefore it was okay to kill them). And still today you see people talking about groups such as the Jews being a different race because of their religion.
Of course, the underlying reality here is that the concept of race has no scientific validity whatsoever. It's a purely social concept. Not a biological one.
Sorry, I slipped into TA mode. That's the end of my lecture. |

True, Alex, true.
However, to me personally, these days those two social concepts are fairly segregated.
The number of splintered factions of Christianity alone suggest that, in general, nowadays religion is so much less defined by the religion of the state that lumping religion and race into one category is an inaccurate portrayal of the global situation.
Gosh, that was a long sentence.
Anyway, just my thoughts.

Both this link and the Landover site are very elaborate for what they are (toung in cheek hoaxes. They're both hilarious and creepy at the same time. I can't imagine how many hours went into making the sites and maintaining them. Does anyone know who created them? |

I actually wrote two mock "reviews" of this site over on my site about a year ago. I found it so amazingly mind numbing that I couldn't resist the urge to have some fun with it. They can be found
here and here if anybody's bored and has the time.
On another note, my repeated attempts for an interview with this website went unanswered, as were many from our local newspaper. I found the latter of the two odd, because our newspaper was highly conservative. |
