Public education is a socialist monopoly, a real one. - The Late Milton Friedman
In my neck of the woods, we elect our school board and they run the schools. Isn't that democracy?

November, 2017 A YouGov survey found that more millennials would rather live in a socialist (44%) or communist (7%) country than a capitalist one (42%). America and our once cherished ideals are doomed.
I think unregulated capitalism is to economics as natural selection is to biology. While it may make the population stronger, it is brutal and amoral. I personally don't want to live that way and I'd guess millennials don't either. If we did a better job of policing capitalism, other forms might not have such an appeal.

Why don't you be so kind as to name a "neck of the woods" where they do NOT elect the school board.

If you think capitalism is "unregulated" anywhere in the world, much less the United States, you are brutally mistaken, and I would add intentionally so.

You think that you Leftists can "do a better job" of policing everything. Why don't you hie thee to Detroit and enjoy life in Leftist Nirvana. Detroit is "policed" by people who *think* like you do. It's not working out any more than socialism has anywhere.
 
The most idiotic theories are relativity and evolution.

Both of them claim to be valid because they predict and the empirical test or observation coincides with their prediction.

They won't explain the phenomena but solely predict scenarios.

Then, you the evolutionist, in base of the obtained data since your ape alike man into today's man, predict how man will be 10,000 years from now and give your reasons.

Lets play with your imagination.
 
I think the evidence is pretty convincing: there is life on this planet.

Deep! "There is life on this planet."

What else have you to contribute of such a profound and intellectual nature?
So we agree "There is life on this planet". Can we also agree that the planet existed before there was life on it? If so there are only two possible options for life to appear: it came from elsewhere (which only begs the question of how it came to be there) or it was came to be here from non-living materials, in other words, abiogenesis. I doubt the former so it must have been the later. Too deep?

You're on a roll. Yes the planet preceded life. Almost as deep as your first Enunciation.

A little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deeply or taste not the Perian Spring. - Alexander Pope

The Miller-Urey Experiment famously suggested what you are leading up to. The trouble is that the Miller-Urey Experiment was flawed from the beginning. Moreover, it was in a carefully controlled laboratory, with flasks and equipment set up by a PhD and his student. They made erroneous assumptions in the process of synthesizing two or three simple amino acids, in extremely small and utterly useless quantities which constituted racemic mixtures, not the L-isomers we find in our own bodies. Other than that, spell "latter" correctly. "Too deep?"

I think you've been distracted by the mechanisms of abiogenesis. There is much speculation on that but, probably any evidence is long since gone. Doesn't change the FACT of abiogenesis.
 
How is this idiotic thread still in the science section?

Evolution is anti-science. This is anti-anti-science. That's real science to the laypeople.

One can do the math and see that abiogenesis, big bang, and macroevolution did not happen. One can do the math and see evolution does not happen. One can do the math and see magic does not happen.
 
No one really knows where we came from, or how we got here.

Anyone who thinks they have The Answer is delusional and egotistical.

Except for MAC who knows the truth.

You better not tell or God is going to be pretty upset with you!!

No evidence but it's a "FACT."
You're very wise.

A weird reach, since you just quoted me saying that no one knows.

Try again.

That's really nonsensical as you obviously have no "math" to support your unsubstantiated claims.

Your silly conspiracy theories surrounding science do nothing to refute the facts presented by the relevant disciplines of biology, chemistry, paleontology, the earth sciences, etc.

The only appeals to magic, fear and superstition I see are coming from the religious extremists.
