Creationism stupidity has hit Russia
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Re: Creationism stupidity has hit Russia
Russian religiosity makes the US seem like a bunch of flag-burning, God-hating athiests. Christianity has always been central to the Russian character, even the USSR couldn't supress it and they were anti-religious as a matter of policy.

Though it's too bad that this particular strain of stupidity has hit Russia. Folk remedies for the evil eye I can stomach, but not when they start immitating the US's bull****.

Being taught a theory violates her rights? How convenient. There's too many issues in that one sentence alone for me to even bother, so I won't.

Oh.  Great.  As if it weren't bad enough they're misrepresenting biology, they're misrepresenting thermodynamics too?

Stupidity.  Creationism you can believe in and thats all fine and well...its stupid when you start to sue for being taught otherwise or try and get it taught in science class.

indeed.. at least with evolution, certain math adds up, with creationism....well... from 2 people to over 6 billion in a space of six thousand years.. do the math  :p

The word 'true' is a hard sell for anyone to use in conjunction with a theory. But the point is that no one can infact prove creationism nor evolution. Simply labeling either one 'true' is in its self an act of faith[In general terms]. I am not sure if you were being sarcastic though.

ok...I don't totally know if that was an insult. [You know you are thick when you need to look up things like David Hume]

Re: Creationism stupidity has hit Russia
No I'm just playing, but I do have a point: The argument that the word "true" cannot be applied to scientific theory demands a level of knowledge that is not possible. I was referring to Hume's (infamous) Fork, which divides all statements into relations of ideas, which are discernible through a priori reasoning, and matters of fact, which must be obtained a posteriori. Each of these types of statements can only be used to prove other statements of the same type. Hence, nothing about the world we observe is certain. Additionally, causality is a leap of faith; every time we throw an egg, it cracks, and thus we assume a causal relationship between the egg's contact with a wall and it breaking. But all we're really doing is calculating the overwhelming probability that the egg will break.

Now what was my point? Oh yeah. Of course evolution isn't "true", because nothing is truly true (lol). But a scientific theory is the closest we ever come to truth, which justifies the colloquial use of the term "true".

See, there's a difference between the Theory of Evolution not being provable due to the fact that theories aren't supposed to proven, and Creationism not being provable because it's complete bollocks it's based entirely on unsubstantiated conjecture.
