Evolution vs. Creation (again)

Energy can be a 'creation' wheras matters>atoms>molecules>humans etc. should be an 'evolution. :)

Zep, I just indicated the basic of the basics of this topic.

No, Kumar, you just ejaculated spiritualistic bafflegab. Perhaps you'd care to try again, in English?
 
Sorry, It was meant to be the 'basic of basis' not the' basic of basics'. It looks slight but a big differance. I edited accordingly.

Hello BillHoyt, thanks for a start to me even if it is 3%.
;)

Are you going to get back on topic here, Kumar? The topic was creation versus evolution. More specifically, it started with a poster's concerns about a teaching aid who took it upon himself to "witness" when he should have been teaching.
 
So the phrase "the Irrationalist Perception Theory" is an English -> German -> English translation?

Many universities here require students to learn a foreign language so that they can read foreign publications in their original language. I'd think that when discussing Hume, it wouldn't be all that uncommon for the students to read the original English, even in other countries.

Interesting to know that creationism isn't just an American phenomenon. My understanding is that you have much fewer fundamentalists.

Yes. I´m studying in Germany (Frankfurt, to be exact), and it is customary here to have all lectures and tutorials (except Business English, of course) in German. Local customs and traditions, you know? ;)
Hmmm.... I'd be rather suspicious of university where the faculty can't even speak English. :p

Have you read Huckleberry Finn? There's a part where someone is trying to teack him French, and he asks why he would need to know it. When told that people in France speak it, he in turn asks why everyone in France goes to the trouble of learning French instead of just speaking English.
 
Well, AFAIK the teaching staff (and most of the students) speak English pretty well, but lectures and tutorials are in German. Some of the texts in the Microeconomics reader are English, though.


Well, we have a small but adamant core of fundies. Their views are an extreme fringe opinion, though - nothing like how things are in the US. But if you looked carefully, I think you will find a handfull of creationists everywhere.
