While attending our local public high school, we had a biology book that taught all life evolved from single celled organisms, perhaps, hundreds of millions of years ago, if not billions of years ago. In fact, the biology book from which I studied in high school contained this aforementioned theory in the Preface. Not only did this Biology book contain this theory, but constantly stated and restated the theory. I attended public school in North Carolina.

There are scientists, who do in fact, regardless of how passionately you evolutionists try to argue otherwise, say evolution explains the basis and existence of all life on Earth. This is the problem all people who argue against evolution have with evolution.

I have been on record as saying many times evolution did not happen, is not happening and could never happen. Life is too complex and intricate to have evolved over a period millions of years. I view scientific evidence the same way I view polls. Any group can make any conclusion come from the evidence they provide depending on what their particular mission is. In other words, evidence and polls can be manipulated to bring a desired conclusion. This concept takes place in our court system on a daily basis, as well as other areas of life. If you do not believe what I have just stated about not just scientific evidence but polls also, then all I can say for you my friend is you are deceived .

I will tell you one thing I know to be fact. There is a God in Heaven. He sent His only begotten Son to this Earth to die for us. His Son did in fact die on the cross on Calvary, He rose again on the Third Day. Jesus is His Name. Some day the eastern sky IS going to split. We ALL are going to stand before Him in judgment. All things that are secret will be made known, and all things known will be made secret. One day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ Is Lord!!! On that day, we will learn absolutely, that God Himself breathed life in to man, and formed all life in the Palm of His Hand.

I know criticism of all kinds are coming my way the very minute this gets posted. Let the criticisms come, I would rather be criticized and right, than supported and wrong. With all of that said, the disclaimer should have included ALL of the theories contained in the science book used by the Cobb County Public School System. The disclaimer in no way, shape or form even mentioned religion; and yet, somehow, not only have you good folks leaped a huge leap to say this disclaimer pushes religion, so does the group filing the suit. Man has completely ignored the existence of God, and replaced Him with evolution and all kinds of other ideas, and then have the audacity to wonder why our country is in such a shocking state of moral decay. Will the irony ever cease???

In other words, you personally can't bring yourself to believe the evidence, therefore the conclusions must be false.

This is the logical fallacy known as "argument from incredulity".

I view scientific evidence the same way I view polls. Any group can make any conclusion come from the evidence they provide depending on what their particular mission is. In other words, evidence and polls can be manipulated to bring a desired conclusion.

Except that scientific evidence can be evaluated by anyone who wishes to take issue with it. If you really want to argue against evolution, you would have a lot more credibility if you were to base your arguments on the actual evidence rather than railing against the very concept of evidence.

I will tell you one thing I know to be fact. There is a God in Heaven.

So you say. Why should I believe you?

I know criticism of all kinds are coming my way the very minute this gets posted.

Well, of course. You appeal to a logical fallacy, criticize the very concept of evidence rather than constructing any reasoned arguments and then go into a completely non-sequitur religious speech.

Let the criticisms come, I would rather be criticized and right, than supported and wrong.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like either applies to you.

With all of that said, the disclaimer should have included ALL of the theories contained in the science book used by the Cobb County Public School System.

Including gravitational theory and atomic theory, if those topics are covered, correct?

Why not just make the fundamental definition of "scientific theory" a mandatory part of the science cirriculum. I would have no objections to that and then you wouldn't need to have any disclaimers because the students would already be informed as to the exact nature of any explanation in science termed "theory".

The disclaimer in no way, shape or form even mentioned religion; and yet, somehow, not only have you good folks leaped a huge leap to say this disclaimer pushes religion, so does the group filing the suit.

That would be based upon the actual words of those pushing for the disclaimer. By their fruits, and all that.

Man has completely ignored the existence of God, and replaced Him with evolution and all kinds of other ideas, and then have the audacity to wonder why our country is in such a shocking state of moral decay.

Drop the arrogant, pious attitude. Evolution is not a "replacement" for any gods, much less yours. Your "God" is not so special that people are seeking to cover it up with scientific theories. Evolution, like all other scientific theories, came about through direct interpretation of physical events by multiple people pooling observations and conclusions. It is not and never has been an attempt to replace any gods or any religion.
