"In simple terms, it can be the filtering of information that conflicts with what one already believes, in an effort to ignore that information and reinforce one's beliefs. In detailed terms, it is the perception of incompatibility between two cognitions, where "cognition" is defined as any element of knowledge, including attitude, emotion, belief, or behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance states that contradicting cognitions serve as a driving force that compels the mind to acquire or invent new thoughts or beliefs, or to modify existing beliefs, so as to reduce the amount of dissonance (conflict) between cognitions. Experiments have attempted to quantify this hypothetical drive. Some of these have examined how beliefs often change to match behavior when beliefs and behavior are in conflict"
26 November 2007 Darwinism predicts 'X.' Oh, you tell me the opposite of 'X' happened' Well Darwinism predicted that too.
Marx (Karl, not Groucho) predicted that under capitalism workers were bound to become more and more dissatisfied and therefore a workers' revolution was inevitable. When workers' conditions actually improved under capitalism, Lenin modified the theory ' of course the workers' lot is improving; the capitalists are bribing them to keep them pacified, just what the theory predicted would happen.

CUPERTINO, Calif.'Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit yesterday against the Cupertino Union School District for prohibiting a teacher from providing supplemental handouts to students about American history because the historical documents contain some references to God and religion.
Throwing aside all common sense, the district has chosen to censor men such as George Washington and documents like the Declaration of Independence. The district's actions conflict with American beliefs and are completely unconstitutional, said ADF Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb.
In addition, they have wrongfully applied their policy to only one teacher, who is a professed Christian.

Darwin's Mistake by Hans J Zillmer
Published in nine languages, this international best-seller puts the latest discoveries and new evidence against Darwin's "Theory of Evolution".
The author, who owes his insights and expertise to numerous excavations he participated in, describes recent findings that in line with suppressed results of scientific research prove what seems unthinkable to us today:Darwin is wrong.
Major reason why evolutionist arguments can sound so persuasive is because they often combine assertive dogma with intimidating, dismissive ridicule towards anyone who dares to disagree with them.
Evolutionists wrongly believe that their views are validated by persuasive presentations invoking scientific terminology and allusions to a presumed monopoly of scientific knowledge and understanding on their part. But they haven't come close to demonstrating evolutionism to be more than an ever-changing theory with a highly questionable and unscientific basis. (The situation isn't helped by poor science education generally. Even advanced college biology students often understand little more than the dogma of evolutionary theory, and few have the time or the guts to question its scientific validity.)

- 1. it's not science. You cannot observe, test and repeat the ever-changing ideas that are little more than wild speculation.
- 2. It devalues real science. Chemistry, physics and biology don't have the same problems of legitimacy because they are real sciences, not philosophical wannabes trying to appear legit.
- 3. Complex engineering. Do you ever drive past a skyscraper and think to yourself 'Gee, I guess billions of years of random chance could have just as easily assembled all of that glass, steel and concrete as well as a team of engineers, architects, construction workers working from blueprints' Of course not! But that's what evolutionists would have you believe in when it comes to living organisms.
- 4. Genetics. The programming code of life, according to evolutionists, is just a series of biochemical accidents and mutations. If you believe this, I have a bridge in New York that's for sale. The infinitely complex engineering of this code means that it did not come about via 'natural selection,' aqua random chance.
- 5. Mathematically Impossible. Basic probability tells you that the odds of a blob of primordial ooze morphing into a man, regardless of how much time has passed, are so remote that mathematicians regard it as impossible. Emile Borel and Fred Hoyle are just two mathematicians who reject evolution on statistical grounds.
- 6. Evolution is a religion. Yes, evolution is the faith of atheism because it replaces God with man. When you've conned yourself into believing that some kind of ancient slime morphed into progressively complex and directional life forms, you are in the realm of faith, not science.
- 7. Racism. This is the ugly secret that evolutionists don't want to discuss; that Darwin, Huxley and many of the early advocates of evolution stated publicly that Asians, Africans, Australian Aborigines and other non-white, non-European groups are evolutionary throwbacks. Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton, was a pioneer in the early field of eugenics which was the study of skills by ethnic groups. While Galton's work was relatively harmless, Hitler's work to synthesize natural selection by exterminating a race of people was not. More info a

Clearly, you win.
Man is only a few thousands years old, God made the Pyramids to mess with us, and Dinosaur bones, and you, my friend are one angry genius. You seriously need your own AM radio show to explain exactly how dumb everyone but you is.

I love the YouTube link, provided elswhere, sorry I don't know how to use the magic blue thingy to link, try going to YT and searching for 'sexism in the Bible'. Should be very illuminating....
Check out Matthew 18:7-9
check out 1 Timothy 2...'....Let a woman learn in silence with all submisisiveness....'
Come back and tell us why the bible is such a great and 'holy' book....

I'm saying you're posting that in the wrong forum, and if you really feel the need to attack atheists while complaining about how bitterly persecuted you are, that seems to be what the CiR forum is for.
