Creation/God...REFORMATION(Judeo-Christianity)---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION!

Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!

Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY(pc-religion/rhetoric)...

Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/ZOMBIE/BRAVE-NWO1984 LIBERAL NEO-Soviet Darwin America---the post-modern age

"It's clear that the motivation is anti-evolutionist," said Eugenie Scott, director of the Oakland, Calif.-based National Center for Science Education"

What's clear is, the evolutionists don't want alternate or dissenting views to be heard! And now that the dam has broken, their faulty theori3es are about to be exposed.

Evolution is bunk.

Are you quite certain you want religion in public classrooms? For this is where the whole ID/Creation effort is headed. Remember, they have religion in the public schools of Islamic countries too...well, except for silly old fringe groups like the Taliban, which didn't permit education.

BTW, which of the following religions would prefer to be taught in our schools...Catholicism, United Methodist, Jehovah Witness, LDS, etc, etc...?

Oh heck, I forgot a lot of them. Can you imagine the focus group Bubba would have selected to choose one state religion?

I agree with you about religion, but teaching ID/Creationism in our public schools will be the beginning of state-sponsored "religiosity". Whoever complains the loudest will be heard...and public policy will have to change.

You've seen this before...in homosexual rights agendas. First, they got the public to agree to diversity and tolerance. Now, their recruitment schemes are everywhere and our children are preyed upon in increasing numbers...all while little Johnny's teacher explains that homosexuality is a valid alternative lifestyle.

How will ID have to be presented when special-interest groups make their demands known? Will little Johnny's teacher have to preface her remarks to the class with, "The god, gods, goddesses, rocks, ancestors, trees, nothing, us, etc., got together and started our Universe. We don't understand how this happened, but we know it did..."

Just how confused will little Johnny be after that mega-pc introduction???

One solution: teach your religion and family traditions at home. Provide a sense of wonder and connectivity to your offspring yourselves...instead of being too lazy to answer deep questions about ancestors and origins.

"People are beginning to 'get it.'"

According to Gallup, they've been beginning to get it for quite awhile --

    Gallup polls over the last decade have shown that only about 10 percent of Americans believe in the scientists' definition of evolution via strictly chance mutation and natural selection. Nearly everyone else believes that God created life, either directly or by guiding the process of evolution.

Are you certain you want the religion of stealth pantheism (aka scientific materialism, naturalism) in public classrooms?
