That’s the same argument that atheists use to question God’s existence.

The issue really is why don’t Christians want Christianity included in schools.

If 85% of Americans are regular church-goers, why aren’t there enough votes to allow the 10 Commandments to be posted on the wall? Why are Muslim prayers required in California schools when students aren’t allowed to carry a Bible? Why are only lies about Christians allowed in schools not the actual history?

60 years ago my mom was told in a public school that Christians burned the library in Alexandria when the historical records all point to the Muslims committing this crime.

You can’t win an arguement saying science isn’t valid based on an exegesis of distorted media summaries of scientific pursuits. There’s nothing in Christianity that opposes science.

Science was created by Christians!

The real issue is that we Christians need to get out and vote our consciences and force our government to do what’s right.

The left has no problem with this but the right stays home every election so they don’t soil their hands. Politics is only dirty if it’s done dirty.

Voting your conscience in an election is not evil.

Just my opinion. I return you to your thread. ;)

"That’s the same argument that atheists use to question God’s existence."
Except God is outside of nature, scientists are not.

I'd like to address this:
"The issue really is why don’t Christians want Christianity included in schools."
As a Christian, why don't I want Christianity included in public schools?

If Christianity was a mandated course in a public school, there is no guarantee that it wouldn't be taught by an Atheist.
Chances are that Christianity would be distorted and as a whole, would be worse off than if it had not been taught at all.
(Wolf guarding the sheep?)

The future is Private Christian schools, charter schools, and home schooling.

Government run schools are a failure and need to be shut down.

A note for the legalists: I am not addressing the Constitutional aspect of this issue, so don't come unglued.
