They don’t. Given this, one must be careful as to how IDCreationism is presented in a science class, especially now as propaganda/pressure is being presented at/by certain school boards, students, parents to get their (non-scientific) “view” taught under the guise (read: outright LIE) of “academic freedom”.

And um, just curious, but what does the fact that the elements of our bodies are shared with stars have to do with morality? Why shouldn’t we bother ourselves with the lives of others? Why shouldn’t we have families, friends and form communities? Why shouldn’t we care? That seems to be a rather sociopathic attitude to take.

Oh, and if you wanna read evolution from a Christian’s point of view, might I suggest Kenneth Miller’s Only A Theory. He highlights the failings of the creationists arguments and the lack of science, or coherence, from Intelligent Design. Oh, but he tears Behe a new one.

Just my 2 prutahs.

He was a good teacher.

The science behind this: 3.2 beer being much weaker is a myth. 3.2 beer is measured by weight. Under non-3.2 law, alcohol is measured by volume. 3.2 beer is anywhere from 4.0 to 5.5 when measured by volume and is some cases is identical to the beer sold in other states. For example, by weight, Samuel Adams is 3.2-3.8. Part of the confusion comes from the myth that other states have “6 point” beer (they don’t), and that this means 6% versus 3.2% (not how it works). 3.2 laws make a certain portion of the public happy because they don’t understand the math/science; but, in drinking the product, there’s virtually no difference. It’s like the myth that Guiness is stronger in Ireland. (It’s not, but the 3rd way of measuring, via specific gravity, is another topic.
