Originally written by Zorro:


"Evolution is THE most comprehensively established scientific theory in modern biology. It draws VERY strong evidence from the the fossil records, genetics, microbiology, zoology, biochemistry and philogeny. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the cornerstone of all modern biology and medicine.
...

Here is the fundamental problem with ID - it is a bogus theory that tries to rationalize facts that contradict religious text written thousands and years ago."
quote:
"Ash: Amend the first statement to include the word "ignorant," and I'll agree with that one."
Je dirais même plus.

quote:
"Gravity is also defined as a 'theory', and as the Onion once insightfully quipped, it is a 'theory' susceptible to a competing 'theory' of 'intelligent falling.'"
He he I read that one:
The Onion Article

EDIT:
Oh yeah, and by the way intelligent design was thought of by clever people who are trying to get creationism taught in schools. When I say clever, I do not meen good cleverness; I mean bad cleverness. They reason that when trying to make creationism sound "scientific", they can sell it to the general public. Intelligent Design = Creationism.

Wow this has been an insanely large amount of posts - I come back after a day and its 75 posts after 20. I can't even follow te thread anymore so anyway:

For someone who asked where I am from: I was born in Zürich, in Switzerland, but I moved to the US when I was 2. I can't speak French completely, but I am good at writing it and am still learning.

Okay here is my view on intelligent design/creationism.

Creationism has no scientific merit whatsoever, because no scientific tests are done whatsoever.

Intelligent Design has no scientific merit, because it does not follow the scientific method:

Step 1: Problem:
The ID hypothesis states that the "scentists" saw a certain repetitiveness in organism structure.

Step 2: Hypothesis:
They thought that such an observation meant that life was created by a Supreme Being, because of too many coincidences.

Step 3: Experimentation:
None.

Step 4: Conclusion:
ID states that life was made by a supreme being.

Step 5: Confirmation by other experiments:
None.

As you can see, it does not follow the scientific process.
On the other hand evolution does, but let me first say that Darwin himself did not develope the scientific theory, but others did; he made the hypothesis.

Step 1: Problem:
Darwin saw on his voyage on the Beagle that species of certain regions of South America were distinctly different from those seen in Europe. Even fossils showed how organisms in the past were greatly different. When he encountered Galapagos Island, he noticed that species found there did not exist anywhere else in the world, but where related to those in South America.

Step 2: Hypothesis:
Life on Galapagos Island must have arrived from South America at one time, but then evolved differently according to their needs. Natural selection occured when a mutation happened that caused an organism the be able to survive better and stay healthier than others of the same species; the mutated organism would be able to produce more offspring and therefore spread its mutated genes unto the next generaton. The organisms with this gene would steadily replace the ones without over a long period of time.

Step 3: Experiment:
Darwin did not carry out any experiments, but the work of other scientists such as Mendel carried out experiments that proved Darwin's hypothesis.

Step 4: Conclusion:
Scientists conclude that all organisms evolve and develop through natural selection.

Step 5: Confirmation from other expiraments:
Experiments such as Mendel's gene experiments and certain observation of fossils and anatomy of animals; another little-known scientist named Lyell also came up with the same conclusion from Darwin's data. In fact many scientists where thinking towards evolution, but Darwin was the first to publish publicly.

There: comparison in a nutshell ;) .

Oh I forgot; I live in the United States, so liberal = left wing, and conservative = right wing.

EDIT:
Oh and sorry for some unclear choices.
When I asked about the tax cuts, I meant that the tax cut would happen no matter what, and who would you choose to get the most money. Also I find it interesting that most SW players are liberals/socialists/communists.

Oh yes, and I'm very socialist, so you can guess what my answers are :cool: .

I decided to start this poll because I was researching stuff for a persuasive English paper trying to convince people that Intelligent Design and Creationism have no place in public American schools, and I was curious to what most SW players are politically.

I am working on a piece for an English Project on The Crucible. When I'm finished I will try and send the file to you.

EDIT: That's funny, my orchestra director always said "cellos".

quote:

cel·lo1 P Pronunciation Key (chl)
n. pl. cel-los
A four-stringed musical instrument of the violin family, pitched lower than the viola but higher than the double bass.
- Dictionary.com

But anyway, I'm being obnoxiously precise...

EDIT:
I have finished six short pieces (about 1 min each) i can send it to you in .mp3 or .wav format if you want to hear them, but the sound quality is bad because notepad can't export as sound files, so I had to record my own speaker sound.

Any .mus file can be opened with finale notepad. Also, finale notepad is free, unlike Finale. Now I'm having some retarded trouble with notepad, it is not showing the notes properly and instead is displaying random stuff. My dad just updated to tiger, so I think this may have something to do with the fonts...

EDIT:
I listened to the piece. It is nice, but it does not seem to have support, for the moving notes do not have an underlying base part. I may be wrong, they may actually have a base part, but if they do, I can't hear it and I can't read it (See first part of post). Also, this may be just the fault of the instruments, but around measure 65-70, there are some parts that are discordant.

God:
I like to play the Turing Game.
Me:
What is the Turing Game?
God:
The Game is played with three people, a man, a woman, and an Interrogator who may be of either sex. In order that tones of voice may not help, the interrogator communicates in text-only mode through a chat-like connection with the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman. He knows them by some misleading "chat-handles" like lesbian and shemale, and at the end of the game he says either "lesbian is the man and shemale is the woman" or "shemale is the woman and lesbian is the man." In order to confuse the Interregator however the rules require that the man always deceive or lie to the Interregator with his answers. The woman on the other hand must always tell the truth. Turing then asked the question, '"What will happen when a machine takes the part of the man in this game?" Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman? These questions replace the original, "Can machines think?"'.
Me:
Wow. What some people do for fun.
God:
I'm glad your impressed, bob. Have you tried another program?
Me:
No. I got to go now. Don't fall off a cliff.
God:
Perhaps you should try it. Oh. Bye bye. Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
