Do you believe that evolution should be taught in public schools science courses or that creationism should be taught in the public school science courses?
Do you believe that it should be taught in the school science classes that the Earth is around 6,000 years old despite scientific proof that it is over 3 billion years old?
What will happen under this administration to science?

EVERYTHING should be taught in school and then let the students decide. Age appropriate of course.

Perhaps if man were capable of searching this entire universe, end to end, top to bottom, heavenly body to heavenly body a more qualified response would be possible but still not a definitive one
In my view both religion and science require faith. In my view evolution requires intelligent design
Ask yourself if a commercial building were loaded to the very top with alphabet letters and the building was then wired to explode would it be in the realm of reasonableness to expect the result to be the creation of an encyclopedia?

Shouldn't you have to prove it before believing it? Otherwise, roll a dice to determine what faith you'll be. They're both not very bright. You're doing it just to do it.

How about evolution within the species? That seems more plausible, doesn't it?
The Creationist movement believes every word in The Bible literally. Remember that it was King James of England who had the Bible translated and therefore called The King James Version.
Now, back to the original question. Do you believe that the Earth is appropriate 6,000 years old or the 3+billion that scientists believe? Personally, I go for the 3+ billion. Yes, I do believe in God but not a literal translation of The Bible. The Old Testament is a great collection of folk myths common to just about all civilizations.

Ah...evolution WITHIN a species...like the difference in the races...ANY other animal would be classified as different species.
King James do a lot LOT more than JUST translate. He did some picking and choosing too.

Who mad you God? If something as simple as a watch can't "just happen", hoe does your "God" who can create a watch "just happen"?
Use your brains people!

Please state YOUR reason for thinking that you are significant to this universe and that you have reason to believe that you can control ANYTHING in avoiding your final destiny.
By the way, my Bible does not give the date that the world was created. Perhaps your science does give an exact date so that we can celebrate it's birthday?

No it doesn't, it doesn't say a LOT that your "religious leaders" tell you to believe.

No, it wasn't.
Tell me...who created a "God" capable of creating a universe? DON'T tell me "it just happened" because then...your watch can happen too.
