Thread Name: Harry Potter: Good Witch or Bad Witch
Subject: RE: Harry Potter: Good Witch or Bad Witch
Man, stay away from the topic for a day and they've blown past so many subjects...Celtic Soul, I agree with the issue that the more the 'fundies' protest, the more ticket sales they create. I expect that most of 'em are cannie to the trend, just a few losers out there who will cut off their noses to improve their faces. You said one thing a couple posts back I wish to take issue with, in the kindest possible way. Evolution is not a theory. Evolution is a fact. It's Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection which explains the mechanism of evolution that is the theory here. And it should be taught in school precisely BECAUSE it's a theory, and subject to the tests and trials of all true theories. Creationism is not a theory in the same sense that it's subject to the same rigor of analysis and testing, in that when it is subjected to that rigor, it falls apart. I would welcome it being taught in the schools because this would become obvious. And of course, the Holy Scriptures never really attack evolution, in fact they support the dispersion of inherited traits if you look at the episode of Jacob interbreeding his white and speckled sheep to increase his herd over Laban's.

Oh, as for Harry Potter, the subject of this thread, er, Good Show!
