And I'll now apply that same logic to the problems Islam is having with extremists and "fundamentalists." It's very simplistic to say a particular faith is "evil" all because of how some are interpreting it and acting out in it's name.
faith and science are not at odds. It's just that scientists have passed evolution as a fact and not theory. if anything there is more science that disproves evolution than supports it.
On the flip side, God could have created it in 6 minutes or 6 seconds and the same holds true.
I am just amazed that some cannot understand the underlying meaning of Genesis 1 was that a) God created it and b) He declared it good.

Last month, 70% of the voters in Oklahoma approved State Question 755, which bans Sharia law (and international law) from being used in the states legal system. Almost immediately afterward, CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) sued to have the vote overturned, based on the bizarre claim that the measure is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange then sided with CAIR and issued an injunction preventing the measure from taking effect until all lawsuits against it are resolved. Since the suits will likely take years to play out, the new measure (and the will of the voters) will be stymied for the foreseeable future.
Those who oppose Sharia in the United States often argue their point by highlighting how misogynistic, backward, cruel and discriminatory Islamic law can be under most interpretations. And while all that may be true, it is the wrong argument to make. I get so frustrated watching pundits, politicians and bloggers making the weakest argument in what should be a slam-dunk debate that Ive decided to write this brief outline of what I think should be the prioritized hierarchy of arguments against the use of Sharia in the United States.
In order, these are the arguments that Sharias opponents should be using, not just in Oklahoma but anywhere else in the country where the same issue crops up:

So you're one of those that thinks a monkey has to give birth to a human to prove evolution?
Seriously, do some research that isn't centered around creationism...
Did you catch the post in another thread by joevol about the only good reason to get into scientific research is to do so from a Christian perspective and debunk evolution? It was really priceless.
Again, back up your claim with a hint of credibility, ape.

No one has brought it up because it's been pointed out dozens of times in dozens of threads. The people who don't know what "theory" means in a scientific context don't care to know. I've linked the dictionary and they still didn't get it.
At the heart of the three main religions, they're the same...
I don't want tax money going to any school with a religious affiliation.
Perhaps you would be better off posting in any thread other than this one until you can muster the civility to contribute something worthwhile to it.

So then you oppose spending tax dollars on these
moslem charter schools??
BTW, at their heart they are far, far different.
Actually I have and have come up with you,
dunkingflunky and IPkoolaid, which leads me
to believe evolution is a load of crap, otherwise
I would come up with a far higher average IQ
profile than your specific group indicates.
Yes, I oppose spending tax dollars on ANYTHING religion related. Including, but not limited to, schools and places of worship no matter what religion.
Why do you sink down to calling people names if you think you're of higher intelligence than us? I've never called you gsretard before...
So you also oppose the US government building
mosques all around the world??
What names????
