Something to think about

The following is from an email I received recently, not going to be very popular with the more liberal leaning people out there. Even though this does not have anything to do with physics I am reminded of Newtons third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Our actions have more far reaching consequences than we often realize. Please read all the way to the end.


Dear God:

Dear Concerned Student:

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely,

God

How did this get started?...

-----------------

Let's see,
I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained
she didn't want any prayer in our schools.

And we said, OK..

------------------

Then,
someone said you better not read the Bible in school,
the Bible that says
"thou shalt not kill,
thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbors as yourself,"

And we said, OK...

-----------------

Dr. Benjamin Spock said
we shouldn't spank our children
when they misbehaved
because their little personalities
would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.

And we said,
an expert should know what he's talking about
so we won't spank them anymore..

------------------

Then someone said
teachers and principals better not
discipline our children when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said
no faculty member in this school
better touch a student when they misbehave
because we don't want any bad publicity,
and we surely don't want to be sued.

And we accepted their reasoning...

------------------

Then someone said,
let's let our daughters have abortions if they want,
and they won't even have to tell their parents.

And we said, that's a grand idea...

------------------

Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys
and they're going to do it anyway,
let's give our sons all the condoms they want,
so they can have all the fun they desire,
and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.

And we said, that's another great idea...

------------------

Then some of our top elected officials said
it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.

And we said,
it doesn't matter what anybody,
including the President,
does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good....

------------------

And someone else took that appreciation a step further
and published pictures of nude children
and then stepped further still by
making them available on the Internet.

And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....

------------------

And the entertainment industry said,
let's make TV shows and movies that promote
profanity, violence and illicit sex...
And let's record music that encourages
rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...

And we said,
it's just entertainment
and it has no adverse effect
and nobody takes it seriously anyway,
so go right ahead.

------------------

Now we're asking ourselves
why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong,
and why it doesn't bother them to
kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.

------------------

Undoubtedly,
if we thought about it long and hard enough,
we could figure it out.
I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...

Funny yet frustrating

troy left a link to a blog and i had to comment on part of it. largely frustrating to read but i found one part particularly funny. read the whole article here: http://afarensis.blogsome.com/2005/06/15/science-sunday-creationists-lies-and-whales-tales/
sorry dont know how to make the text into a link. anywho the quote of interest is below:

'And what if you’d never seen a living canid of any kind! That’s the dilemma paleontologists are in when they try to assign ancestry. It’s pretty amazing, a testament to the dedication and expertise of paleobiologists, that they’ve been as successful as they have.'

what amuses me so, is that so many evolutionists take as gospel truth what paleontologists tell them an animal looked like and where it falls in ancestry. granted i am not a paleontologist, but if you have never seen an animal that you have a fossil of, how do you know if you are successful in your reconstruction of it? the above quote makes a very interesting assumption, namely that paleobiologists have been successful and truthful in their endeavors to shed light on the fossilized remains of animals no longer with us. i dont want to make it sound like paleontologists are trying to mislead, although some may do that. but its the nature of the beast of the field of paleontology that you do not suggest that a fossil does not fit into the standard evolutionary scheme. if someone wants to advance in the field of paleongology it is impossible to be impartial in the treatment of fossils. refering back to the above quote, i dont find it very amazing that paleobiologists have been successful because they are required to fit everything together or they dont get published and will not be able to get the grants that are needed to stay in the field of paleontology.
