i believe there is a problem with the curriculuim of teaching anthropology . the scientists articles and textbooks are hipacridical of the guidelines stated by
constitution says How does a court decide if something violates the Constitution or not?
Courts apply what is called the Lemon test. More than 25 years ago, in the case Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971), the Supreme Court decided that Pennsylvania violated the Establishment Clause by paying religious schools to teach secular subjects.
The Supreme Court set forth a 3-part test to determine whether a particular action, law, or policy violates the Establishment Clause. In order for an action, law, or policy to be deemed constitutional, the government must prove that it complies with each of these three 'prongs' of the Lemon test:
-its purpose may not be to aid religion-it must have a 'valid secular purpose'
-its effect may neither advance nor inhibit religion
-it may not foster excessive entanglement between religion and government

I can tell you this more that half of the required readings reference genisis and clearly show the negative bias towards it. scientest make a big deal that science is the proof there is no need to debunk someones belief in god right ? Im netural in what I believe . Evolution has an idea of how thing happened by the study of fossils bone fragments ect. but it incomplete so thats were the bible is brought in because it is easier to believe the partial sciece what we know that in something we can only have faith is true. why cant we believe god in and evolution . dont blame the bile it was written by man in a different culture and time it the idealogy we as a race come from , what we know is right and wrong laws of the land . why does faith have to be distinguished for evolution to be true. here an idea what do you think we as a people would be like today if we never interpredted religon into our culture ? I say we would be no different than the demonic apes someone should tell the atheist if they want to reasearch there religon that were they should begin . I sorry this just kinda makes me mad .I go to school to learn all i have learned neither sides have proven a dam thing to me or any one else . here a thought lets just get rid of god now. then we get to change all the rules right . they we all base on false beliefs . science wins the all species become extinct.I dont need to talk about faith because we all know thats all it is . all this arguing does is bring the money in neither side cares about what any of you believe as long as they can get funded
