I realize it's been a few years since I've been in school, but last time I checked the teaching of evolution was fronted with theorys of the big bang, or what ever else was popular at the time. I assume( yes I know what I'M doing) that this is still the format. So in your own words why toss in the big bang theory, or any theory that can't be proven? But school systems propose different theorys.
Schloaty,
Firstly I am an old earth creationist. Secondly The teaching of creation is unconstitutional? Hmmmmmm.... Let see if you know what document this is from "We hold the truths to be self evident that all men are CREATED equal" What I'm upset about is MY federal money goes to brainwash the young by neo nazi liberalist.

I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when
my high
school teacher taught his theory of evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered
because
someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.
So what's the big deal ? It's not like somebody is up there reading
the
entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and
asking
him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home
from the game. "But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue.
Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on
Christian principles
would you expect-somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a
Jewish Prayer
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear
someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome...
"But what about the atheists?" is another argument. What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the
collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring
a Walkman or a pair of earplugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.
Call your lawyer. Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what
they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going
to shake the world's foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us
just to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us.
The silent majority has been silent too long ... it's time we let one or two who scream loud enough to be heard know, that the vast majority
don't care what they want...it is time the majority rules!
It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray, you don't have the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or attend
services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right . but by golly you are no longer going to take our rights away .we are fighting back...and we
WILL WIN! After all, the God you have the right to denounce is on our side!
God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him...
God bless America, despite all her faults. still the greatest nation of all...
God bless our servicemen who are fighting to protect our right to pray
and
worship God...
May 2004 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back
as the
foundation of our families and institutions.
Keep looking up...
In God WE Trust.
