As a future history teacher, you need to explain that sentence of yours.

Seriously.

Give it a rest.  If you knew the overall quality of our public school teachers, Tim is the last one you'd worry about :lol:

Another victory for SCIENCE!
It doesn't have to be an either or competition.

Seriously.

He simply didn't write it correctly: It doesn't have to be an either/or (or either-or) competition.

Anyone who's cared to pay attention these last six years would know that I believe in both, though I don't see how my belief in evolution or God would come in a history class.

What about in an English class?

Bah, I demand to see the two missing links between this one and the apes and the next hominid respectively! :angry: :contract:
Didn't Tim post his picture some time ago?  :huh:

HomoniD, homonym is a word with the same sound but different meaning.
Keep up with the times, it's been hominin for years

Except not really.  When a hominin is exactly the same as a hominid, but they changed it for the express purposes of being a bunch of cunts, then hominid remains the correct term.

Given the size of the lower half of your face, I would think that you wouldn't make any cheap shots about an ape-like appearance.

Tamas, you live in Majaristan.  How many religious people have you met in your life?

I look forward to Tim's wonderful additions to the Physical Anthropological Knowledge Base once he finishes his Anthropological studies.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I'm sure TimTim will find the time to get in not-too-risky adventures and foil the plans of some not-too-evil crooks along the way.

The very first class with my high school history teacher, quoting him:
"You may be descendant of apes, but I am not". So we skipped through the whole stone age stuff.

And no, creationism can't be tolerated, because if you treat it as an alternative to evolution, you are dragging down evolution to it's level, and that is plain wrong, since evolution is a scientific fact.

I think you're missing the point here, Tampax. The problem isn't creationists, the problem is Americans. Americans cannot be tolerated.
