Well to start out i dont beleive in evoltuion so the fact that other things cant be taught really ticks me off but i just want to see what people think and why.
Most evolutionists have this thought that to be "tolerant" no religions can be involved at all, I would disagree. Recently evolutionists protested the Cincinnati zoo partnering with the creation museum for a dual ticket to go to both. The zoo cut the promotion off and it really seems (to me at least) like every evolutionist is extremely intolerant of all other beliefs.
Actualy it's just what i believe, I believe the bible is true and I take Revelations seriously, so that would be my conclusion, I wasn't trying to use fear tactics, I hate fear tactics lol.
Samy, I guess I'm (and woody is) most concerned about your lack of consistency here, as the words you say are consistently inconsistent.
Let's compare some sentences from the same paragraph:

every evolutionist is extremely intolerant of all other beliefs.
well strop, I read your post and it wore me out(your writing makes me think too much) so I will just ask this question to all people who believe in creationism. Yes evolution has alot of missing links in it, but could you give me evidence that creationism is true?

Then you strengthened your stance to "all evolutionists", or really "it seems to me that all..." Rhetorical strengthening has weakened your argument because you've not only changed your tune, but you've also strengthened it to the point where you absolutely cannot support it, as all I need to do is provide one counterexample and your case is defeated. And in this case, I've already demonstrated that I'd be that counterexample, therefore you've defeated yourself before you even finished. Rule of thumb here is never to make a generalisation unless it is actually a definition, because there are always exceptions to the rule, it's just a matter of how many.
In this case you've provided an example which is great. However it's very difficult to prove that "most people behave this way" from a single example, unless you can argue successfully that this is part of a trend. If you did not feel the need to argue against evolutionism on political grounds, you would not need to open yourself to such a vulnerability. This is why I made my stance the way I have, and I haven't had to change it at all throughout the course of this discussion.
But anyway, it seems to me that the reason some may have protested is it seems like the zoo has sided with creation against evolution, and some people might have felt like the zoo was "disagreeing" with evolutionists. I'm sure that if the zoo had partnered with a museum solely interested in the theories of evolution many people would have strongly disagreed.
True, but I would say from what I've observed creationists TEND to be more tolerant that evolutionists.
Those people don't deserve to...no, please i hate them, i literaly hate them, theres so many positive things christians do this is reflecting the bad, just like what the zoo did becasue of evolutionists. Then again I have a million times more respect ofr what the evolutionists did. Those people are horrible.

i think that if there's only one school left wich is teaching creationism like a VALID theory, kids will grow up like ignorants for years and years. Believe me, i'm italian and you all know here's the vatican, is very frustrating to hear creationism in 2008...

Actually, I don't believe there is currently a museum out there that shows only the theory of evolution and nothing else.

I was more refering to the fact that most museums only have the theory of evolution as the way humans came about.
Teaching evolution leaves no one less ignorant my friend.
Ignorance: the lack of knowledge or education
Prove evolution is real...this has been tried before by both sides it doesn't work.
lol zootsuit, that was a cheap shot.
[quote]Then you strengthened your stance to "all evolutionists", or really "it seems to me that all..."
Have you ever been to a nationally-regarded museum? I've been into plenty, and most have talked about Christianity as well as evolution. It's still a part of our history, whether we like it or not.
So, if America was to say, suddenly stop teaching evolution, the lack of knowledge wouldn't leave us less ignorant?
I know evolution is not technicly "roven" but that was not my question I want one, JUST ONE, piece of evidence supporting creationism.
To clarify, though, "It seems to me" is a good way of introducing an uncertain opinion, but nonetheless when coupled with "it seems to me that all", it becomes part of an unsustainable generalisation that only serves to make you look, well...uninformed >:
