Thread: Freedom of choice and the Law

bad analogy.
everyone knows (or at least I thought so) that you can't legislate morality. We agree, and I'm sincerely sorry if I offended you...I surely didn't mean to.
I wonder what everyone's idea of progress is, especially in a forum of anachronistic straight razor affecionados.

Why is it a bad analogy?

It seems everyone does not, since FUD says the opposite. You didn't offend me, I wouldn't know where, same goes for FUD.(but maybe that wasn't meant for me)

Now it seems to me that a lot of people have the same type of faith in science that I have in my God.

Take evolution, the simple fact that we share 95% of our genes with a type of monkey proves absolutely nothing. I've read that figure as well. It was presented by a scientist. He also (at the same time) explained that we share about 80% of our dna with some type of caterpillar....so does that mean that we're also related to the caterpillar? Of course not! There are just about as many holes in every theory that explains our existance. If you'd have read a bit more in depth about the subject you'd also know that the fact that there are still monkeys also makes the idea that we came from monkeys highly unlikable. Evolution is just like anything else a simple theory. Don't make an absolute truth out of something that still can't be proven as certain.

Now if you'd want to teach THAT in school etc and say: one of our theories is evolution, that means that.....
another one is..... and also..... etc.

I'd have no problem with that.
But don't call a theorie an absolute truth and then chase it with religion like fervor.

As for Gay mariage, sorry Joe, but even living in the Netherlands i'm against it. I have my reasons for it but I still don't believe that this is the place to discuss it. It's too impersonal and won't bring my real opinion across as it should. I believe that anyone can do as they please, yes that is true. But I don't believe that this is right or should be encouraged by law as if it's normal. I've said too much already I fear because some seem to be out on a witch hunt themselves.

Have a nice day gentlemen, this was my last reply to this topic. If you have anything to say to me you can pm, e-mail or even call me if you wish and I'd love to talk about it furthermore. But not here, and not now.

I personally do not see why science and belief God absolutely have to exclude each other. The problem is that some people take that if you don't blindly believe in everything you read in the Bible means that you don't believe in God. Also, just because I believe in God doesn't mean I don't believe in evolution or any other scientific principle.

goin home, do some christmas shopping...
I looked over FUD's posts . . . thanks, FUD, thanks all...
