To say it´s proved is quite a harsh statement to make. If i say that all our universe was created last week, your personal memories and theories included, it´s pretty much impossible to prove me wrong.
You can only go that far when you say that evolution is "proved" .
My 10 votes go to Miss Oregon. A gamer as Miss America sounds like intelligent design to me

Council of Europe's comitee stated that ID is a form of creationism and shouldn't be taught in science classes as it's not based on facts and non-scientific.

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.
Ahh now I understand, thanks. I completly agree that teaching religion in science class is very disturbing.

If you support Intelligent Design being taught in science classes, you support child abuse. Simple as that.

Can we get a mod to put a disclaimer at the top of this thread to remind people this topic is about Anna Prosser and not Religion V Evolution?
Some people seem to not realize this.

the great destroyer of TL
The Religious Debate!!!
Go find a thread that isn't absolutely ruined by a bunch of people going over and over and over the most beaten dead horse on the planet. Mindless defense from the white knight. This thread is the place to comment (lolno) support Ms. Anna Prosser, sir. That's the subject at hand, and you're gonna have to deal with the fact that not everyone supports her. If she's dumb enough to believe in ID, people will forever call her out on it around TL. (in a thread devoted to her reputation, in a popularity contest, no less) As if any neck beard can resist such bait? If it was a few years earlier, and someone you weren't dating, you'd probably be the first to make some not-quite-clever, sarcastic remark and expect nothing but praise for it. Gimme a break.
Holy fuck, condescending tone batman. If you don't like her, don't post here, sir.
The OP asks for your support. The topic is for supporters. If you disagree with her beliefs. Don't vote. Make another topic discussing it if you must, just don't post it here. It's off topic.
If anything let's appreciate the viewpoint that people aren't sheep and can decide and research for themselves which systems are correct instead of believing everything a fallible person with chalk in their hand says. Or someone who says they're infallible with a bible in their hands for that matter.

I believe a critical analysis of the views she represents herself with in the interview for the pageant is very topical. If we're supposed to judge her by her looks then we should definitely judge her by her opinions.

Bah, I voted like ten times but I`m really bummed out about this intelligent design thing. To me it is important not to support it since I think it is really damaging to students who are presented to it as a legitimate scientific theory. I see why she does it though, political right? Most voters probably only vote for ID girls I guess.
But on the other hand I like Incontrol, I like his girlfriend, and it would be awesome if she became miss Universe! But I do not think I can continue voting for her since it would going on accord on my principles, good luck to you though

True enough. I suppose I distinguished between what I saw as a blanket statement like Toadyy's and those specifically referencing Anna's opinions, which in this case isn't a good argument.
I still think this is more of a fanclub/support thread moreso than a discussion piece. I wouldn't go into the "Happy Birthday MrHoon" thread and tell him how I'm not a fan of his, or the "CSU SC2" thread and start talking about how I won't be supporting CSU's SC2 team for various reasons.
But I guess that's just me, and shouldn't be an enforced judgment.

When you're at the Miss America level of comparing hottie to hottie, you've got to find something to compare them on. And unfortunately, creationism is a deal-breaker for some people (myself included).

Inspired by the main post, I got behind her and gave her one.
Anything to bring a smile to iNcontroL's face.

I agree. Although, unfortunately, having briefly looked through a number of other interviews, every contestant I saw gave pretty much the same politically correct answer, so by that criterion, they are all as bad as each other.
Also, it seems pretty strange to me that the question was phrased the way it was. Surely a better question should have been "Should creationism be taught in schools?". Is it seriously an ongoing debate in America whether a fully supported and sound scientific theory should be taught in school? Sorry if I sound like an ignorant foreigner, but I'm genuinely cuious.

It's perfectly possible to be religious and still not believe in ID. Many, many people are, including priests, bishops and other high ranked church officials.
As to the person claiming that evolution is not 'proven' I guess if you want to get real technical about it it isn't. If you are really strict the only branch of science that can ever prove anything definitively is mathematics.
Evolution however has more evidence to support it than most other scientific theories we take for granted as true every day and should thus for all event and purposes, other than purely philosophical ones, be considered fact.

It's, in one phrase, the teleological theory saying that since life appears to be fantastic and so wondrous, someone must have designed it. This is often backed up by the watchmaker argument: a man wondering through the desert finds a watch, he must conclude that someone designed it. Part 2 is that someone must be god.

theres also some christians who feel that the evolution deal is something also that was created with ID. so its not always so black and white. personally i dont feel its a big deal what she or any other of the contestants have for their religous beliefs. they could be christian atheist mormon etc etc. whenever someone has a different viewpoint than yours doesnt mean you should start a shit storm.
