given you don't accept science in this case, it is pointless and not worth screen it is typed on.

Who's not accepting science? Oh yeah, JKTex and the other liberals.

Here's something you may not know/understand... science will always be in agreement with religion... if it's not, then it's either bad science, bad religion, or both.

Yep, another topic... but if you really want to know, there are good sources of info on this topic that can be located on google (but must be able to distinguish the trash from the truth).

likewise for you have a blessed day.

[Common Sense Al]

likewise for you

Yes, but I already understand the religion/science concept.

have a blessed day.

Same to you.

Y'all are wasting time on Al on this subject.

I had a couple of good zingers, but remembered, they'd be ignored and would only give him another chance to break out his radical morality soap box.

And this is why Galileo Galilei got into so much trouble with the Catholic church? Bad science or bad religion?

Here's a bit from Wikipedia (bad source I know, but it goes with this cheap shot)

On 31 October 1992, Pope John Paul II expressed regret for how the Galileo affair was handled, and issued a declaration acknowledging the errors committed by the Catholic Church tribunal that judged the scientific positions of Galileo Galilei, as the result of a study conducted by the Pontifical Council for Culture. In March 2008 the head of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Nicola Cabibbo, announced a plan to honour Galileo by erecting a statue of him inside the Vatican walls. In December of the same year, during events to mark the 400th anniversary of Galileo's earliest telescopic observations, Pope Benedict XVI praised his contributions to astronomy. A month later, however, the head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, Gianfranco Ravasi, revealed that the plan to erect a statue of Galileo in the grounds of the Vatican had been suspended.

Funny you should bring that up when they were talking about that recently on Catholic radio... yes, there were mistakes made ("bad religion"), but people love to blow it out of proportion and make it look much worse than it actually was. Also, while Galileo did get some things right, he did also get some things wrong.

As you can see, the Pope did express regret for the errors. Obviously errors can be made on both sides, but the Catholic church is a strong supporter of science... and my statement that good science agrees with good religion is still perfectly valid. It doesn't mean that mistakes are never made (although you can be assured that any dogma or infallible teaching on faith and morals IS true, and none of these would ever conflict with good (correct) science & reasoning).

Bottom line is that good science will give you the truth, and good religion will give you the truth, and the truth does not conflict with the truth. It doesn't mean that mistakes are never made as both 'sides' occasionally make mistakes. If there is a mistake, then you can call it "bad science" or "bad religion", but a mistake on the part of science doesn't make all that science teaches bad, nor does a mistake on the part of religion make all that religion teaches bad.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, and again, and again: evolution is a mechanistic science without a mechanism. It was put forth for verificatation in the 1850s and no transitional fossils were ever found. Not to fear though, it is still alive and well in classrooms around the world.

Hog Caller, with a name like that, your comment is quite appropeaux

[Hog Caller]

Thank you Sandy! Since porcine animals are the smartest in the animal kingdom I am flattered by your comment!

Didn't quite understand what you were saying because text does not support tonal sounds which are essential to porcine communication, but I will leave you a message in the vernacular of this medium: Have a great Valentine's Day!
