Someone who is willing to discuss something 1. is not going to do it on a forum like this 2. is not going to say fucking bullshit dumbass (enter idea) or how the fuck can so and so believe such and such If you want to disagree with someone by all means do it but be respectful I know this is the internet and all so I feel silly in writing this futile attempt at explaining how to discuss, but nobody takes you seriously if you cuss them out for every different idea they have | ||

Second of all I could never vote for some one who believes in creationism and that it should be taught in schools. That is... just a little too stupid. And in a possible role model it is even dangerous. | ||

If you watch the video on the previous page you'd see that she is advocating just that. There's also the fact that she is representing her state and possibly her country in a contest that is mainly about beauty but obviously puts a decent amount of focus on personal character. It also means she will have lots of people looking up to her, many of who will be young and easily fooled into believing whatever nonsense ID people tell them. I'm sorry but advocating ID in any way makes you lose a lot of respect with me. I was honestly both a bit shocked and sad when I read this as I viewed Anna as a quite sensible person. She might still be, and very likely is, sensible in other regards, but supporting ID is almost as nonsensical as it gets. | ||

If you watch any of these American beauty pageants you'll catch on that the answer that she gave is like the standard reply that nearly everyone gives all the time. It's unfortunate that everyone says what she said, but you can't just look at it out of context. | ||

It's when you go "Kids, there are many theories about how we came here and none of them can be proved and it's important we recognise that we just don't know these things. Some people think we evolved which is where we appeared from monkeys but other people think that we were created as people and not monkeys. Remember, these are just theories and theories aren't facts so it can't be proved so they both have equal merit and you should make a personal judgement that is biased by your beliefs." | ||

That doesnt seem as stupid as some people make it up to be in this thread imo. I dont believe in god but I can accept that other people do. Only problem with this way of thinking is that it says that evolution cant be proved when it has been proved :s | ||

Teaching people that a God created them (they're careful not to name which one) in a science class as a theory when evolution is provable is not only ridiculous but unconstitutional. Part of it comes from a gross misunderstanding of the concept of a scientific theory by creationists. | ||
