Teach your kids whatever you want. Send them to private school, or home-school them.

But if you're going to send them to a school paid for by my tax dollars, then I'm going to make damn sure that those kids learn something useful and productive.

Someday, hopefully in the far future, I'm going to be dying on a hospital bed somewhere, and will depend on doctors, nurses, pharmaceutical manufacturers, etc., to give me more time. When that happens, I want to have the brightest, most capable minds of the next generation at my disposal.

I won't need them praying for me and telling me that God has a plan. I'll need them to freakin' *repair* me. They will be much less effective in the latter task if they believe I was assembled by an omnipotent creator whose plan is outside their intellectual grasp.

"But if you're going to send them to a school paid for by my tax dollars,"

You are not the only one who pays taxes friend. We pay taxes to.


"then I'm going to make damn sure that those kids learn something useful and productive. "

Belief in creationism did not hinder the scientific revolution, nor did it hinder the multitudes of Christian doctors and nurses who helped bring the medical arts to the current state.


"When that happens, I want to have the brightest, most capable minds of the next generation at my disposal. "

My old friend of mine in a doctor at John's Hopkins and is much in demand. His research has literally brought the hospital millions. He is a Creationist.


"I'll need them to freakin' *repair* me."

Eventually here will come a point at which you can't be "repaired". If you have not made peace with God through Christ before you die then you will face and eternity separated from Him.

You are mistaken. You will be euthenized to help the fittest survive.
