Quote:This is even more off topic, but there are plenty on the right who believe in evolution and do not believe Creationism is a science. There are intelligent people on both sides.

 

Agreed, though it would make for an interesting topic/discussion.  Unfortunately, I don't think an honest discussion could be done without violating the CoC.  There are some on the right (and I suspect on the left as well) that believe in both.  I don't think that many that are for teaching Creationism believe that it's a science though.

 

Another topic that could be interesting is the board's rule against religious speech.  I understand the rule and why it's in place, but I do believe that some of the "regulars" of this forum could keep it to reasonable discussion.

 

To kind of get back on topic.  Why is it that "absolute science" is the "correct" thing with regards to one topic, and "identity, feelings or belief" is supposedly "correct" when it comes to a different topic?  Absolute science (anatomy) tells us that a male born with certain parts is a male.  If the male has a "belief" or "feeling" that he is actually a female, that doesn't change the absolute science.
