um, i always thought “y’all” was “y’all” because it’s a conjugation of “you” + “all.”

“ya’ll”? really? what was your teacher’s reasoning for that? not as embarrassing as admitting evolution might have some cracks in their theory. where’s xenu to settle this debate once and for all?!

We can certainly have a serious discussion of Creationism, and we should. It’s just not going to be a scientific discussion, because Creationism isn’t science. Note I’m not saying it’s WRONG, though I might be able to convince you of that too, just that it’s not science because it’s not based on observation of the physical world.

If I were hiring for a position where understanding the essence of science was part of the job, then yes, an applicant who thought Creationism was science would be disqualified.

And thanks for showing me how to spell ya’ll.

While it may seem “scientists are just as stubborn in their beliefs as religious fanatics,” isn’t there a HUGE amount of difference between a “belief” based on faith and one based on an interpretation of evidence compiled and analyzed according to a generally accepted method in dialogue with all other findings by that same method?
