Without the Bible in education you are only replacing a proven set of religious values with a wholly failed set of religious values promoted by the secular humanist academicians.
There is no such thing as an absence of values. The only question is whose values shall be taught. Our public schools have succumbed to the values of anti-Christian socialism.
Our society crumbles further and further and our liberties are forever lost as the socialists conitnue to expand and spread their value-system.
When Christianity was the dominant religion in government and schools and society we did not have the crime rate or the tyranny we have today.
"No one is stopping you from putting whatever notions you like into the head of your child. Using government to put Christianity's notions into the head of other people's children is what is under discussion."
Hardly. Intelligent design also, in part, supports the moslem and jewish worldview. No one has mentioned Christ in this debate.
On the other hand, Darwinists have no problem whatsoever putting the notions of their religion..i.e Naturalism, into the heads of other people's children.
What is specifically "Christian" about the notion of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws as best explained by intelligent design? What is specifically "Christian" about ascribing the generic term "God" to a single intelligent designer whose works exceed those of all intelligent human beings combined?
