hey just putting my two measly cents in....

I'm currently taking an anthropology course in college...
My professor is a great lady who has approached her teaching with respect of other people's opinions...she has been the only reason I have stayed in the class

The book we are being taught from, on the other hand, is not at all respectful of other peoples views...basically what they said is, if you are religious and you are skeptical about evolution you are fundamentalist with a pea brain.

basically

As a christian I have absolutely no aversion to science...I don't have to agree with the science simply because I learn about it. My objection isn't to the science, it's to the way the scientists..some...have shown no regard whatsoever for other people's views.

I don't see how evolution doesn't fit in with the bible...

I also don't think, after taking this class, that's it's quite as proven as some like to claim...

They state they have overwhelming evidence...but just today we learned most of the fossil evidence they have amounts to nothing more than disjointed and fragmented bone.

It's very much conjecture on their part.

Some of the theory makes sense, but as of yet, I haven't seen this overwhelming evidence they speak of.

I'll let ya'll know more when I'm done with the class...

by the way...I have a solid A in this class...goes to show not all fundamentalist christians are incapable of intelligent thought.

Oh about teaching it in school...it should be taught in science class. Religion should be taught at home or in a class that is not required...I certainly don't want them requiring my child to learn all about the Koran...or the Church of Satan...come on now this is America....Intelligent design is not scientific...believing in God is not scientific...they don't call it faith because it's easy to believe or easily provable. Comparing science and religions is the best example I can think of for the apples and oranges adage.
However this works both ways....no one should ever start carping on churches about what they teach or how they teach it....beliefs are just that and people should leave the churches alone.
