Thanks for the edit!
Does it not seem strange that some want to remove all Christian teachings from public schools yet remain oddly quiet when public funds are designated to promote islam??

Religion should be taught at home or church by the parents or their chosen 'representatives'. I do not trust the schools to do my job. Schools are to educate on secular issues (math, science, grammar, history, etc).

Some here seem to think science is a religion in itself, because it contradicts their personal beliefs. Some also have radical versions of history that they adhere to. Such as believing Nazi Germany revered homosexuality, which is akin to denying the Jewish holocaust imo.
I view science as a tool given to man to understand God's creation. Faith and science don't have to always be at odds.
On the history part, we will always have people that look at thing differently. The further removed from an event it seems the more revisionists want to change.

I would word things a little differently but this is basically the way I look at it as well.
I'd take anything IP says with a grain of salt, he's loco with this scientific cult thing.

Nah, I like IP. Seems like an intelligent guy. We might differ some on opinions, but that's what makes life interesting.
I think people get caught up too much with the 'how' of things in respect to Creationism. The how is not as important to me. I feel that whatever the method, it was guided by the Creator. I wasn't there, and the precise method isn't revealed by Scripture. If it was the Big Bang, I think it was divinely inspired. If others don't believe, I am not going to mock them. Man has free will for a reason. We choose our on paths. Have a good one.

Agree completely. I keep an open mind and ask him questions on technical matters often because I simply don't understand everything involved. He usually does a pretty good job of explaining without going "Sir Nerdleroy" on me. I just like busting his chops every now and then and he dishes it back in equal portions.

I think this sums up my viewpoint on creation nicely.
One tidbit that I learned as an adult that helped me immensely was when I someone told me to first realize who the particular book of the Bible was originally written for. It was never meant to be a science and/or history book (although it contains many elements of history) as we have tried to make it out to be.
I really haven't a clue how the world was created and I have quit caring because in all honesty, the hows of it really aren't that important, IMO.
if you follow the Bible then you would just need to read Genesis. It tells you how the earth was created. as for it not being important, it is very important.
