B-but if we don't teach creationism in schools, where are kids supposed to learn about god????
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

I believe that there's plenty of old books left in the top draw in motels.
The real interesting books are in all libraries in the non fiction section.

Quote: Lawyers for the Christian school association denounced the ruling in their Supreme Court appeal.
"In the Ninth Circuit," they said, "religious speech in religious schools is less protected than commercial speech, flag burning and pornography."
Wow! Freespeech requires The University of California to accept a particular "scientific theory"? Or maybe it requires college credit for all viewpoints? (Were is the sarcasm emoticon when I need it?)
Seriously, I can't find anything in the First Amendment that requires others to listen or agree.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Oh! I forgot that part. Is that where is says we are a Christian nation?
