Nah, I think I'll maintain some level of self control...at least this time.

Just so people understand this (seems some don't) they aren't imposing religious beliefs into the curriculum. The only thing they are debating is the way evolution is being taught. They are listening to the side of scientists that don't believe Darwinism should be taught outright as fact when in reality it is (and seemingly forever will be) a theory. Hence the Darwin THEORY of evolution. Some people are upset that the scientists teaching the children are presenting Darwin’s theory as fact not a theory but proved beyond a shadow of a doubt... but it isn't, it's still a theory. That is what is being debated, not that Darwin's theory shouldn't be taught but that the other theories should be!

That is one of the sources worth reading even if you don't believe them. I just like doing my homework before jumping to conclusions...

As a future teacher all I have to say is that religion has no place in my classroom. I refuse to exclude the beliefs of other multiple religions that have existed as long or longer than Christianity by promoting the beliefs of a sole religion. This country has separation of church and state for a reason and these religious ninnys seem to forget that at their own convenience. For all those who want their children to learn that "God created the world" they should put their child in private school which centers their learning philosophy around such beliefs because I sure as hell won't teach it.

Ahhhhhhhhmen.

Both are BELIEFS and THEORIES. One could POSSIBLY be true, while the other isn't and vise versa. IMO, the Origin of Human Life sustained through Evolution or Religious reasons should not be taught at all throughout public schools. I believe in Evolution as well as God created EARTH. Clashing theories and beliefs will just confuse the young and the learning.

I feel this needs to be said. I hope that you don't mistake my opinion for misunderstanding. I'm well aware of what they are arguing.
