Which religion's creation story should be taught?

Okay, Whatever. A start:
Presbyterian: "We conclude that the true relation between the evolutionary theory and the Bible is that of non-contradiction and that the position stated by the General Assemblies of 1886, 1888, 1889 and 1924 was in error and no longer represents the mind of our Church."

That might be worth a thread of its own, LDSdude. I'd like to see a course outline on what you could say after "Once upon an uncertain time an unknown being/entity created all the stuff you see here by unknown means. No questions, please."Would you start such a thread, or should I?

- is well-known to invent quotes from Jefferson and that founder bunch when it suits Barton's agenda. He's a political hack, not a Constitutional scholar. The current law of the United States, Texas included, despite our State Board of Education, prohibits teaching religion in public school science classrooms.

Yes, I've noticed how often our Constitution mentions gods.......once. In the phrase "Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth." That's some real "weaving," all right....Don't read David Barton, JRTjr. It'll rot your teeth.

From your link, JRT: I don't know who wrote this, but some of the "absurd" leaked out of their pen. First, the last paragraph of the Constitution preceded the First Amendment by three years or so. We try not to do retroactive laws in this country. Second, ‘Year of our Lord’ is not an "express religious reference" - it's merely a way of telling time. You will note that it is immediately followed by "and of the Independance (sic) of the United States of America the Twelfth." That's an alternate way of telling time."Under God" in the pledge is a whole different kettle of fish. It has no purpose in there except to chase away those scary godless pinko commies that were hiding under every other bed in 1954. Kind of like crosses and movieland Dracula.

Thomas Jefferson believed that Jesus was a man, only a man, with no divine nature attached. Jefferson once wrote "Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being."And also "And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter."Does he still count as a Christian? I know David Barton tries to claim him. Of course, Barton makes up fictional quotes, too.

"This known universe" being defined in the Bible as this plate-like thing we live on, the waters surrounding (and below?) it, and the stuff, including storehouses for hail, between us and the solid "firmament" above us.Color me less-than-impressed, JRT.

Start us a new thread to present that "proof," JRT. I seem to have missed it.
