Questions 3-5 Taken from 'Icons of Evolution - the growing controversy over Darwin', put out by ColdWater Media, LLC c.2001 300 General Palmer Dr., P.O. Box 400, Palmer Lake, CO 80133. 1-800-889-8670 HOMOLOGY Why do textbooks define homology as similarity due to common ancestry, then claim that it is evidence for common ancestry -- a circular argument msaquerading as scientific evidence? VERTEBRATE EMBRYOS Why do textbooks use drawings of similarities in vertebrate embryos as evidence for their common ancestry -- even though biologists have known for over a century that vertebrate embryos are not most similar in their early stages, and the drawing are faked? ARCHAEOPTERYX Why do texbooks partray this fossil as the missing link between dinosaurs and modern birds -- even though modern birds are probably not decended from it, and it's supposed ancestors do not appear until millions of years after it? God Bless Parents Who Drugged Us! This was on the front of our church bulletin this Sunday. By an unknown author. The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?" I replied: "I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for wedding and funerals I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if i didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the colthesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for thes kindness, she would fave drug me back to the woodshed. Those drugs are still in me veins; and the affect my behavior in everyghing I do, say, and think. They are stronger that cocain, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place |
