absolutely - im not knocking ditch diggers by any means so please dont misunderstand.

Im just saying that there are some candles which burn brighter than others... and there are some knives which are sharper than others.

and you cant focus on the dullest of the dull and say that all of the educational system is to blame.

i look at it this way... if the educational system and the parents are to blame for all of the drop out, teen pregnancy, underachiever kids...

... then who is responsible for all of the over achiever honor society types?

in the end it boils down to the individual

some kids just "want it" more than other kids.

all men may be created equal, but continued equality is not guaranteed to anyone.

Good job Texas for allowing a point of view contrary to Darwins theory.

Darwin did not write a book the titled The Evolution of Species. No he titled it The ORIGIN of Species. Where did they originate from? Frst there is nothing then there is something, where did it come from? Even Dawkins in an interview admitted to intelleigent design. Of course he said we were seeded by aliens who evolved.

When you really look at it it is more than just some soup called chance.

Just for fun, what does any of this have to do with Darwin?

When you really look at it? Look at it how? Please explain, using reason.

Yeah, the origin of species, i.e. the genesis of differentiation in organisms, not organisms in general. How does this differentiation take place? Evolution, as has been shown time and time again.

Evolutions makes so much sense, it's almost a truism - organisms with advantageous mutations will tend to outperform organisms which lack them. If it didn't pose so many problems for religion, it would be accepted as any other scientific theory.

Noone knows, including you. Science can take you back 13.7 billion years to fractions of a second after the Big Bang. Beyond that, you can either admit that you don't know, or you can stick to Bronze Age myths.

BTW, where did god come from? What created it? Or has it been conveniently decreed eternal?

Actually, an indifferent universe governed by chance seems to fit the evidence much better than one created by an intervening deity.
