v Creationism
Let me simply say this. okay, Creationism may be religion, but what was this country founded on? CHRISTIANITY! IT is in the constitution! Creationism used to be taught in schools! There never used to be a "public school" or "christian school", the school was run by the church! And if we evolved from monkeys, why are we still humans? why haven't we evolved into something bigger and better? And why are monkeys still around? And for all of those people who believe in the "big bang" , well if there was no life, then how did anyone/anything cause earth to just appear? It can't happen!!! And when people are dying, why else would they say or point to where they're going, Heaven, if it wasn't real? some dying people are so out of it they can't remember their name, yet they can point to where they're going!! Neither Creationism nor evolution has been proven, but look at what America WAS founded on. Christianity. And how could anyone be athiest or not believe, and/or hate something they've never seen? U just have to believe! u don't have to live perfect as some people think! Pray sometime, be sure to ask him to show his existence by answering that prayer and see what happens. HE IS REAL!!! But i'm not going to sit here and argue, considering i'd be arguing and getting nowhere because lost people simply don't like to cooperate. But you'll find out when you die, And at least Christianity and creationism teaches LOVE and RESPECT to our children, not HATE like ATHEISM!!!

    You seem to be blissfully unaware of the hard evidence, conceived through painstaking years of research, that support these theories.

    The church has agreed that evolution does support the bible, but evolution does not explain the beginning of life, that is simply theory which should not be taught . I only chose evolution because by Obama 's example it would be to easy for someone to misrepresent my faith.

    I think the people who lived in the US before the arrival of Europeans who stole their land and slaughtered them in their millions would argue about it being founded as a Christian nation.

    Yes, creationism was once taught in schools. No they teach things like science - which includes evolution - and not myths. If you want religion taught to kids do it in churches and at home.

    "And if we evolved from monkeys, why are we still humans? why haven't we evolved into something bigger and better"

    This just reinforces my opinion that those who most vehemently oppose evolution are those most ignorant of what it actually is.

    I'll ignore the rest of the ranting. If your deity is real, where's the evidence? And then, as most rants like this go, it devolves (heh) into the standard threat "you'll find out when you die!"

    I see more hate in your commentry than anything I see from atheists.

    As an aside, what is it with the more fundamentally religious and their love of multiple exclamation marks?

    You obviously have not studied evolution at all. If you had studied up on it you would know that humans just diverged from monkeys. A portion of the monkey species changed over time through the mutation of genes and then lived long enough to pass the gene down from generation to generation. Also note that it only has to be a portion of the species, not the whole population. Which allows monkeys to live up to this day and age. And you said in a comment that if kids don't want to learn the christian forum in schools they should just ignore it to a point. So why can't children who don't want to believe that evolution happened just ignore it?
