Why can't I be against the norm and believe what I want to believe.

There just isn't concrete evidence supporting evolution.

Sure, there IS concrete proof, but this was all done by the handiwork of the divine.

It's like Shakespeare? I was forced into thinking that Shakespeare was great all my life, but I don't like him. Whenver I tell someone that, they immediently give me a dirty LOOK!

Why do people call non-darwinists idiots?

We merely have our own proof as to claim that evolution is not the end all be all.

What Shakespeare have you read? Also no one cares if you "believe" whatever, as long as you don't force it down people's throats.

>evolution has been proven and it's been observed. >TC claims evolution hasn't been proven. >TC claims all proof points to "God" doing it. >TC neglects to prove "God" even exists. Don't give a being credit for an action, unless you're prepared to prove your assertion that the being actually exists. /thread.

Evidence for Evolution. I agree you have the right not to believe in evolution.

In my biology class, I had to write a paper on evolution and its effects over the years. I wrote an essay on why I don't think evolution exists. And I got an F.

If evolution is as real as these scholars say it is, then I think the Academic world should follow its philosophy and EVOLVE and ADAPT to accomodate those of us who simply refuse to believe.

I read Julius Ceaser chicken salad A midsummer night's wet dream Romeo and Juliet All that. Don't like mr. Shakespeare and his, What light through yonder window breaketh's.

You don't need to believe in evolution to write a paper on its effect. The teacher failed you because you don't follow the instructions. Think of this way a teacher ask a student to write a paper on the effects of Islam. Instead student writes why he doesn't believe in Islam. He failed because he didn't follow the instructions.

So...you read what you were forced to read in school, and failed to understand it...and hate all of his works including his 37 most popular plays, and his numerous sonnets and poems? Neat. Try reading something like Titus Andronicus or A Winter's Tale and then decide. Also, it's What light through yonder windows breakS, there's no eth :P

Oh, I see. Yeah, if the class teaches you A is right and you rant about B in your essay you aren't going to do well. Not sure why you are taking biology if you disagree with evolution that much, though. It's kind of like the cornerstone of modern biology.

It's like being forced to write an essay on "10 reasons why God doesn't exist." I would simply put 1) he exists 2) the bible 3) he exists 4) miracles 5) he exists and so on. Which is exactly what I did in this case. Since I think the effects of evolution are all God's handiwork, I simply wrote my thoughts on a theory I don't believe in.

The teacher is the authority of the class. You have to follow the criteria to pass. If you have a problem filed a compliant to the school board.

The paper you said in the last post could be used to teach you art of Rhetorical devising.

Yeah, I know, you're much better. I don't think I overrate his thoughts, he feels the need to go on and on incessantly when I don't conform to his viewpoint.

even if you wanted to go against the norm and believe in whatever you wanted,you'd still have to have enough reasons to convince you sane side to accept that as a belief.do you have such reasons to dismiss evolution and darwinism? the fact that you made this thread easily proves that you're having a hard time convincing youself to believe in creationism.

Same reason why people are forced to believe in certain religions. You grow up into believing it until you're able to make your own decisions and believe what you want. Only difference is evolution is a hundred times more credible.
