And for the record, my opinion on this is preaching religion in this form has no place in public school. Religion and faith are very personal decisions, not decisions to be forced upon children by the school.
So you don't think children should be taught the TRUTH?!
Here's the difference: evolution claims to be a theory, Creation does not, because it's the word of God.
You wanna teach kids that monkeys are magically turning into humans, even though that magically seems to have stopped happening once cameras were invented? There's nothing like that in Christianity.
Shit, you want kids to learn about evolution, well, why not teach them other theories and myths? Greek mythology? Where's the evidence for that? Again, the ancient Greeks called it Greek mythology because they knew it was a myth, and that Jesus was the light!
You wanna teach kids that monkeys are magically turning into humans, even though that magically seems to have stopped happening once cameras were invented? There's nothing like that in Christianity.
How could I miss this??? Cameras were invented like... Over 100 years ago!!! We would be totally different by now if evolution THEORY was correct!!! DUH!!!

A tornado can't build a 747. Therefore, God exists.
ok I can't tell who is being sarcastic anymore and who isn't...
or maybe everyone is
I adore that movie Contact and once you make contact you get it
Religions are cool for those they speak to... very cool and needed for them.
A child can find their own, that is really a better way than brainwashing and
no it should not be in school or on school time.
God is there for the taking you don't need a man made religion to find Him....
if you need Him .... He's there for you.

9/11 was my favorite event.
I think "the black people" are scary.
Killing babies is sweet!
That's essentially what I got from your heathen ramblings. Roughly translated into the most logical language of all: the language of God's love.
It's become obvious to me that you want America to be run by pot-smoking, rock-and-roll loving, unscrupulous hoodlums who do not tuck in their shirts and often spit on the sidewalk!
I'll be praying for you.
Wow!
I'm almost speechless...
You have me pegged!

Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

If you want kids to learn about God, put them in a Catholic school and those who don't care about God can go to a public school, easy enough I think

A tornado can't build a 747. Therefore, God exists.
...
Question: Why would a tornado need a 747?
Why would God need a 747 for that matter?
I believe he's referring to the quote by Francis Crick, the guy who "discovered" DNA, which is something like (paraphrasing) "for life to spontaneously appear, that's about as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and creating a 747."
We don't know how life came to be, but there are plenty of scientific explanations that are just as (or more) plausible than the "Creator" explanation.
Macromolecules appear randomly in nature (very very very rarely, but over billions of year almost certainly will appear) and these macomolecules sometimes become adept at assembling other atoms to create other macromolecules. And with self-replication, there will errors eventually. These errors are known as "mutations." Most of them will eventually lead to the macromolecule not being capable of replicating any further, but some will have a mutation that allows a competetive advantage versus others... ad infinitum... millions of generations... and eventually you have a blob like biological organism that today would be recognizable as "life." To me, this is a much more comforting theory than a gaseous vertebrate of astronomic heft.
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

Yeah... like 'Of People and Pandas' says... even if you put all of the parts of a pocket watch and left it alone... it would not assemble itself into a pocket watch. Therefore, there MUST have been someone to make it (the watch).
Well, no fucking shit. He is called a 'Watch Maker'.
The conclusion Creationist (a.k.a. Intelligent Designists) come up with have no solid basis. Yes... life is a mystery, but it does not mean that men from 6,000 year ago knew all of the answers. And men of today still don't know... we believe... but, belief is not knowledge.

I've never heard of a tornado going through a junkyard and creating a 747 but I think I heard once of a tornado that went through a paper mill and created about 50,000 paper airplanes.

You wanna teach kids that monkeys are magically turning into humans, even though that magically seems to have stopped happening once cameras were invented? There's nothing like that in Christianity.
Do you know absolutely anything about evolution?
Cameras?! this is the funniest thread I've ever read.
This is comic gold.
How long do you think cameras have been around? Do you understand the evolutionary process and the time involved?
We need to start teaching our kids about Jesus Christ, and not about this ridiculous science crap that the LEFTIST COMMIES want our kids believin'.
Kids need to know that God loves them and knows them better than anyone! He knew every single detail about them and their entire lives eons before they were ever conceived. They need to know that He has a plan for them, and that He will love them eternally, unless they grow up to be gays or Democrats. :shock:
In my opinion, no one should be pushing children into Christianity in public school like this guy was. On the other hand, I don't think it's "ok" to disallow freedom of speech. It's one thing to have an adult come into a class room and preach about Jesus to children (in attempts to almost convert them, when he clearly doesn't go to school there or even teach there). It's another to try to forbid prayer, the mention of God or children discussing their own views on Jesus in public schools. Particularly, when this is type of behavior aimed at one particular religion (in most cases Christianity). Freedom of speech is in the Constitution. From my vantage point, the OP is showing a very rare case. On the other side of the spectrum, there are cases where children's rights have been violated innumerable times in the name of "no religion in public schools". Which to me, personally, is even worse.
so... this thread is really a conversation on par with this one?
