Comments on: “Can we just agree God invented Darwin?”

Well, I was a geology major, so this should be pretty obvious.

Love God. Love Darwin. Don’t see it to be much of a problem to love them both… I also think that God loves Darwin, and Darwin, though he had many feelings about specific organized religions, probably did, overall, love God.

Also love David Bowie’s area. Less than God, of course, and also less than Darwin, but still quite a bit.

And God created DB, as well as CD.

Yeah, Heather, I agree–Genesis and other religious perspectives are a matter for church and home. School science classes are for science, nothing else.

I do not have a problem with evolution being taught in a science class. I don’t think it’s necessary to teach creationism as a supplement or alternative IN A SCIENCE CLASS. I do remember that there was a small paragaph, (might have been smaller) in my high school text that some people believe that creationism is seperate from the theory of evolution, and that some believe darwinism is a scientific way to explain creationism (my belief.

IMO, creationism should be taught in the home and in church. Science is not philosophy or religion.

Nothing to contribute to the DBA conversation, except to say that I sat behind Labyrinth co-star (and Oscar winner!) Jennifer Connelly in physics my freshman year.

That sound you hear is the men on the blog groaning.

Okay,I went to the DBA page and my test results are 92% pure. I love Labyrinth and have several pics on my wall to prove it but have this weird need to actually look at Bowie’s face(plus his hair in that movie is so sexy)more than his unit.

Okay, okay, okay. Annette, quit your pouting. I just went over to your favorite website, http://www.areaology.com/areapure.html, solely to appease you. Are you happy now?

That is one very, very odd site.

So all you Labyrinth fans in particular–Patrick, Diana, Lady T, anyone else?–if you haven’t looked at David Bowie’s Area yet, please do so immediately. Take the quiz and let us know how you do.

Lizzie, good points. And thank you for conceding a woman can be turned into a pillar of salt. Damn straight she can.

And Patrick, cool link! Thanks for the history.
