Sounds like you’re saying fedgov grabbed those powers without Constitutional permission. I agree that they have done that, but I believe it’s one of the largest contributors to the collapse of the Republic.

Many evolutionists disagree with that, and would prefer that fedgov keep traditional religion from causing them any problems in their quest to enshrine evolution as part of the State religion.

But I disagree with you on one touchy issue that you brought up. I believe that if the people were not dependent on fedgov to control their lives, and if fedgov had not grabbed all of those powers not allowed by the Constitution, there would be no reason to fear public Islamic schools being established, as they would never pass muster on the local level. But that’s an opinion.

I don’t think you and I disagree about the federal government overstepping into what may or may not be taught at the school district level. I beleive, as I think you do, that it’s local decision, or at least should be.

Where I think we might disagree is whether a belief in evolution necessitates a belief in atheism.

That is most definitely not true. I, and many of my friends, believe the evidence for evolution, and we also believe in God and are Christians. We are not Young Earth Creationists, to be sure, but that doesn’t equate to atheism. It’s a non-sequiter.
