You would like to see the children in our country taught something which has a demonstrably negetive affect on their mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. And I think it is wrong

Yes. Evolution is the cause of all ails. It has caused many mental breakdowns for me. I am a nervous wreck because of speciation. Gravity has really got me down (ho,ho,ho). Thermodynamics has given me a fever (hee, hee, hee), etc, etc.

Oooooh goodie! Are you pushing for the major teachings of Buddhism to become part of our curriculum? How bout asceticism? I hear that such practices are really uplifting and can lead you to the path of spiritual completeness. You're really on to something!!!!!

Good News For The Day

‘The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.’ (Luke 20:17)

"There is a certain inevitability about Christ. He is the fulfillment of Herod's worst nightmare. Herod killed John the Baptist, and when Christ followed, the ruler thought John had risen from the dead. In a sense, it was true. Jesus' first appeals to the corrupt king were made through the Baptist."

"Christ is uncompromising; inexorable. He is unpreventable, unstoppable, unavoidable. An outline of the creation's future is discernible in the personality of Jesus. The new world order will bear the stamp of his character."

"The... invincibility---of Jesus is good news. It confirms our deepest hope-that the highest values known to humankind, will overcome, and reign. It is good strengthening to believe that Spirit is higher than matter. No one really wants to inhabit a world where material values rule. The incarnation of such values are exampled by Adolf Hitler, or Idi Amin."

"It is good news to know that we are loved by a 'tough love'; a love that is not willing to give up, or let go, and hence, a love that suffers long. In short we are loved by a love that will triumph. "Love never fails."

Evolution isn't the cause of all ails. It isn't the cause of anything, much less all life on earth.

Seperation from God, however, IS the cause of all ails. Accepting Evolution as truth is simply one of many, many things which contributes to that condition.

Well, that would be a little better than whats currently being taught. But not much. Belief in God isn't goal. It is however, a good first step.

But the subject was "Intellegent Design", not religion.
