Let me make this easy for you, Allmendream. According to the ORIGINAL INTENT of the founders, the Bill of Rights was never, ever supposed to apply to the states. They were supposed to ONLY APPLY TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Do you get it now? The federal courts have no business telling the states what they can and can’t do with respect to the teaching of creation, evolution, state support of churches, or anything else.

...that is, the federal government can’t do anything else other than what the delegated powers of the Constitution grant them.

Kind of a weak protection of our Natural rights if the States we reside in are under no obligation to respect or acknowledge those rights granted to us by our Creator. Maybe that is why the 14th Amendment was ratified according to our founders vision of an amendable Constitution.

Amendment 14: excerpt from Section 1. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
