We disagree on a number of points, but you do seem a bit more down-to-earth than those clowns. A lot nicer, too.

Its more than obvious no one here has honesty read a damn thing Ive said. Your Post above clearly indicates you havent read a word I've said. Or you just hear what you want to hear. My way or the highway????????????? Are you kidding me??????????????? Show me where I've said any such thing.
The point she is making is that you are insistent on having creation brought into our classrooms, when it has no place there, at least not in a science class. Creation should be taught in a theology or mythology class, but has no place in the world of science. Science is based on facts, not the bible.

We do listen to your points, the problem is (and I sincerely do not mean this offensively) is that you tend to repeat the same weak points over and over again, with no supporting argument.

I agree that you are no where near as abrassive, and you tend to be a better debater in-so-much-as you do not often resort to insulting others, but I gave you a list of other Christians on the board. I think the issue here is that you are the only Christian here who feels you must be on a crusade for Creation and against what you believe to be sin.

Most Christians don't believe in Creation.

I'd hardly call the fact the teachers teach things as fact that are not even close to fact, "weak points" Another thing, no where did I say we must bring creation in to the class room. Other than to say that there are many different points, and what your being taught isnt fact. I never said they all had to be explored. In fact Ive said outta the whole show, I only want a commercial.

Your right, there are a few other Christians, Im the only one who takes this place at all serious though. Maybe I shouldnt.

There isnt a single Christian who doesnt believe in some form of creation. In fact who was it that posted the poll that nearly half of Americans dont believe in evolution.

Yea, that wont cut it. I want them to tell children that what they are about to learn isnt fact, and many more Ideas have been expressed by others. Maybe even show them where they can find such info. Thats before we tell them they come from apes. Thats is not to much to ask. And the fact that it isnt allowed, tells alot about the dogma of evolution.

1) Just because someone does not believe in evolution does not mean they believe in creation.

2) So you are saying that Jaaa, OtF, & RHS don't take the site seriously? I'd beg to differ... OhDear also takes the site very seriously. She gets very upset sometimes...
