Not really...the Daily Prophet is controlled by the Ministry to publish the content they want published. Fox News is just a news organization that leans conservatively. They're not analogous.

EVIDENCE??? Harry Potter is about magic, which is an evil and false institution that corrupts the minds of the youth. Just like evolution, magic is founded on utter nonsense. J.K Rowling is a descipacble person who should be stoned to death alongside all scientists. If you have ever read any of the HP books, you are not a true Christian.

On the contrary, to the best of my ability, I do not know of anything that presents Harry Potter as fact. Now, I have no problem with Darwin's work of fiction, but it's when the schools start saying it's true is when alarms go off.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

jw, would your alarms go off if they said creationism is true?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'd have a problem if they said it was proven fact, yes. Because it isn't proven fact. You simply cannot prove the existence of a deity by the scientific method. Logic shows that there is, but that's not proven fact.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

See, if you would have just left out saying " Darwin's work of fiction" no one would have cared.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Well it is fiction...

And that's the one reason why we're not friends. Because it would seriously make a great T-shirt, with our faces and names on it.

Schools don't explicitly say that the theory of evolution is indesputable fact. However, it is a widely accepted theory, so it makes sense that they teach it. Presenting creationalism alongside the Big Bang theory wouldn't change kids minds, as creationalism is a theory routed in religion and kids usually learn religion from their parents. But whatever you believe, it's still demeaning to refer to Darwin's work simply as "fiction."

by Anonymous 14 years ago

First off, that's false, they do present it as fact. Secondly, in no way is creationism less scientific then evolutionism. Third, uh... Are you saying it isn't fiction?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

First off, give it a rest, it's just a school curriculum! If parents want their kids to believe in creationism, they'll teach them that. Second, go ahead, try and explain creationism using any factors of science, such as elements, molecules, cells,etc. (Saying something along the lines of "And then He created elements, molecules, and cells" doesn't count.) Third, yes I am saying that, but just because something isn't fiction doesn't mean it's an indesputable fact. And even if you don't believe in it simply labeling it fiction is a huge oversimplication. Fiction implies that the author wrote it with the intent of making something up; even if you don't believe in evolution there are pleanty of people who do, including Darwin. I know that nothing will ever convince you to believe in evolution, but you could at least respect it.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Your spelling is nearly as bad as your argument. Okay, so you condone children being blatantly lied to in textbooks? I dunno about you, but that's intolerable. Secondly, I'm not qualified to do that. Could you do that for evolution? No. Don't ask for stuff you couldn't do. And if you CAN do that, do explain how the first living cell began... That's really a miracle. It's fiction. You realize Darwin was just writing what he thought?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

And you do realize that arguing you is like trying to talk some sense into a brick wall? Just as I acknowledged that I'm not going to be capable of changing your opinion, you're not going to change mine. Maybe one day it'll just clicked that it's not only you who doesn't enjoy having what they believe in completely disregarded.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

All right. Harry Potter ≠ MLIA. Don't let MLIA's insanity corrupt what is a perfectly lovely thing to enjoy. Harry Potter has its fandom, which like other series, ranges from sane to bat-shit crazy. Amirite's HP fans, exemplified by intelligent posts like this, leans toward the sane. Also, Harry Potter takes place in a very thoroughly-imagined world which, although including many magical elements, shares a lot of similarity with our own. Thus, a great many interesting posts (like this one) can be made. Maybe even some of these deserve POTD. Who knew?!

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm just saying, I dislike Harry Potter, I find it pretty unspectacular, so to have a POTD about it two days in a row is a bit irritating to me, because I can't really relate to it.
