Aric I want to apologize for any mean things I have said first of all. I have not always spoken to you in a Christian manner and for that I am sorry. I would like for you to see something. When you lost your faith as a child, do you remember how it felt? This is exactly why I fight evolution so hard. I feel that it makes kids lose their faith in God much like I think you did, only in a different way. You admit that you will never "be a christian" now. Can't you see why it is so important to us? If there really were real scientific evidence for evolution (not counting micro which I think really should be labled variation of kids) we could not argue it. If any other belief system will hinder our children's faith, it is personal, which is why we take it so. Do you understand that? To lose your faith is devastating to anyone, and to have it done in a public school system by "those who should know science and have such an influence" is even more confusing.
I know many people who have lost faith at one time or another and often it takes a monumental event to restore it. I will not judge you or what you believe and I do not insist that you believe what I do. I would just like you to for once see my point. Thanks.

I see your point, but I don't believe it's valid, Evolution is science, NOTHING more.

It's not a religion, it's not a moral, it's not immoral, it just is.

If you wish to believe in creationism, that's great fine and dandy, you homeschool your kids, I think that's great too, but Evolution as science is NOT going to put your faith in question, at least it shouldn't.

God did what god did, and science just tries to figure it out.

You take the bible literally, therefore science is a threat, I do NOT take the bible literally, therefore Science is NOT a threat to my belief structure.

Humans are spiritual creatures, and god made us that way, therefore the bible is written to reach into that spiritual creature, each person sees the bible in a different way, the way it was meant to be seen by their spirit, soul, or whatever you want to call what lives on after this.

The bible is NOT and was NEVER meant to be taken literally, you have to look at what it feels to you, how does the story make you feel, does it help you PERSONALLY to interact with god, does it help you PERSONALLY to understand your relationship with god? Does it help you PERSONALLY to be a moral person, and why? Does it answer YOUR PERSONAL questions?

That is what it is for, to reach into your soul, to communicate directly to your spiritual core, NOT literally, because then it is reaching to your brain, and that is NOT where god is trying to get to or communicate with. He wants to talk to your very being, not the body that is NOT you, god wants to reach YOU, not your body, NOT your brain, but your SOUL, and that is NOT going to happen as long as you take the bible literally, because then you think on it too much, and don't let it communicate to your soul.

Science is NOT a threat, and NEVER has been.

Evolution is NOT a threat, and never has been.
