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.
I’d like to discuss the scriptures in that regard with you sometime. I’m convinced millions of years of evolution is not supported by the scriptures.
