Jim90 said:given the recent discussion by slozenger about the deficits of evolution, should we ban it??? it doesnt appear to work very well, like he pointed out, so it should be forbidden i think.
i think we as Americans have always banned anything which isn't right, like prostitution, pornography, sodomy and british people. so why dont we ban evolution???Elrohir said:Yeah, let's ban everything we don't agree with! It's not like this is America or anything!
Oh, wait....
I don't recall us banning British people.Jim90 said:i think we as Americans have always banned anything which isn't right, like prostitution, pornography, sodomy and british people. so why dont we ban evolution???
copernicus theory that the sun was the center of the universe was banned by the church tho, and it was a scientific theory, so why shouldnt we ban evolution???Elrohir said:I don't recall us banning British people.![]()
I think the difference is those are acts deemed immoral and unacceptable by society, and are banned because of it; evolution is a scientific theory, they are very different.

The same reason the Church shouldn't have banned Nik's little theory, it's about scientific progress, and locking up a bunch of scientists wont' make their work any less valid.Jim90 said:copernicus theory that the sun was the center of the universe was banned by the church tho, and it was a scientific theory, so why shouldnt we ban evolution???
Yes - that was several hundred years ago.Jim90 said:copernicus theory that the sun was the center of the universe was banned by the church tho, and it was a scientific theory, so why shouldnt we ban evolution???
Well, prostitution is banned in most states, and child pornography is banned in every state, although you're correct, sodomy is now legal everywhere in the US.Slozenger said:I dont recall you banning prostitution, pornography or sodomy as long as you are in the correct state...
