    Joseph; All I can to that drivel is ROTFL. I have tried to debate Creationist for over 15 years and it serves no purpose, you people are completely incapable of logical thought processes and will flatly deny any and all scientific evidence that clearly disproves everything about creationism 100%. Creationism is nothing but a fairy tale that like everything in the bible originated in ancient Sumeria some 2000 years before Judaism was even a spark in some Bedouins eye. I have studied religion, many the big 3 for more than 36 years.

    Nunyabiz, without quoting any facts, wrote: "This is like the so called “Controversy” between Evolution Vs Creationism. There is no controversy, there are the absolute irrefutable FACTS of Evolution, then there is the complete BS of Creationism." Creationism teaches that the created kinds of creatures reproduce: "according to their kinds." e.g. Genesis 1: 25 "God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good." What is observed is that the created kinds of creatures reproduce: "according to their kinds." ... Bacteria produce bacteria, dogs produce dogs, and humans produce humans Conclusion: The Bible, creationism, and scientific evidence are in agreement: ... Creation (with variation within a created kind) ... yes. Evolution (one kind of creature changing into another kind) ... no.

    What I see is pure politics against a much needed reform bill. I wish someone would think of the people who are in need, instead of themselves. Insurance companies are out of control financially and in too much control over the doctors. I vote for reform with the public option! The only thing that makes sense! Period.

    There is not real "debate" over Health care. There are the FACTS which are we need single payer health care for all, health care is completely out of control and is going to double again within the next 10 years. The only option left is the public option leading to single payer, PERIOD. There there are the bald faced LIES being told by these teabaggers that have been fooled by Insurance companies to do their bidding. This is like the so called "Controversy" between Evolution Vs Creationism. There is no controversy, there are the absolute irrefutable FACTS of Evolution, then there is the complete BS of Creationism. Take note that in both cases it is the same nut bags that are on the side of insanity.
