would all of this silly monkey buisiness stop, please be well informed about evolution before trying to debunk it. A huge pet peeve is the disbelieve in a scientific idea without real understanding of it. I am fairly educated in the sciences and i know we didnt come from monkeys. Almost (i say almost because no idea is ever 100% agreed on in the scientific community) ALL of the scientific community believes that we did NOT come from monkeys but have a common ancestor with them. Look into the African Rift valley geography when it changed and the vegetation and topography and what kind of adaptations would be benificail there. Look into mitochondrial DNA. Look into cytochrome C. Look into cellular structure in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. extreme tangent here sorry, but dont debunk something by stating invalid assumptions on it.

Science CANNOT have an opinion on a diety's existance or lack there of. If you cannot create an experiment in which you can try to disprove things. (there is a scientific bias to try to try your best to prove things wrong. Nothing is EVER proven, things are only supported). You cannot set up an experiment to prove or disprove god, well until you die i guess. It is not within the realm of science to even try to claim anything about god. That's why intelligent design while it may or may not be very valid IS NOT SCIENCE. You cannot disprove it so it is not within the realm of science. sorry, another tangent.

So how can you hold a unit of believe that includes both god and science? Science is used to understand how things work once they are around us and NOT things that we may wonder and cannot test or better said cannot try to disprove; that's where philosophy and religion come in. My history teacher i think said it best. You dont answer "because god made free fall have a constant acceleration" on your physics test. Nor do you look into the physics book to understand the meaning of life.


a creative scientist, isn't that like a friendly koala?
