You find these things difficult to believe, but you're just fine believing that all the complex diversity of life, and the ordered existence of the universe was just some freaky accident? You need not be a Christian to believe in a higher form, or a supreme being. Open your mind. You either believe in creation, or just a big coincidence. Personally, I find the latter to be quite ridiculous.

Unlike Cal Thomas, creationists & ID'ers I make no claims as to how life & the universe came about. I simply don't know and neither does anyone else.

However, I reject any kind of notion that woman sprung from man's rib, etc. and don't think it should be taught in public schools as fact, which is what Cal Thomas is arguing for.

You cannot imagine that there is knowledge beyond what is in your mind? Your first paragraph defies your second. You reject! Who are you? The speed of light WAS a constant, now it seems not to be. What else will we discover? Golly, man is SO smart.

I dont see it as being taught as fact. I see it as educating students as to what other ideas are out there. Why does teaching "THis is what some folks believe...." equate to endorsement? I think that the atheists and evolutionists don't even want the smell of it in schools out of personal bias.
