Off Topic Do Not Respond
1 Corinthians 1: 19-31
19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

Re: Did the topic change to the difference between the animal kingdom and man?
If we are evolving, then it is really just a fight to the finish and the winner takes all. Survival of the fittest. But to suggest that it is 'wrong' to impose morality as many claim religion does, is itself an imposition of morality. The only difference is that one side of the debate actually knows what they're saying, and understands those implications.
I disagree that to restrict an imposition of morality is to impose morality in itself. The restriction being apparently told to the church not to teach a morality implies no morality.
Then you say Jesus declared, then Jesus answered. Schitzophrenia (sp)?
As to dancing to our DNA, i wouldn't describe it that way. Sure there are fundementals dictated by our DNA, but i believe that Society dictates our morals. An example: In the middle ages, kissing was a sign of extreme affection and madesty was at quite a high. Nowadays you have 8th graders going off and having pre-marital sex, and thats the norm. (maybe 8th graders is an exageration. High schoolers?) Society makes the morals and dictates whats acceptable.

-I believe in God, I just call it Nature
-One man with an imaginary friend is insane. a Million men with an imaginary friend is a religion.
-People must often be reminded that the bible did not arrive as a fax from heaven; it was written by men.
-Religion is the opiate of the masses

Interpetation is everything
Some interesting bits:
"I know that people are much to stubborn to believe a faith. The word faith is what makes it religious. The faith is what saves."
That may certainly be the case for your particular religious path. It is not the case for mine. I follow a path of knowledge, not faith.
"If you really want proof of a creator of some kind, I give you the laws of physics."
I agree. I've always thought the second law of thermodynamics (the existance and increase of entropy) implied the extistance of a creator/spritual energy in the universe - however that says nothing about the details of such creator; just on that, great spirit, jehovah and allah are all equally probable.
"Evolution is fine and dandy, but where did the single celled organism's environment come from. If you want to answer the big bang, then you must also realize that the big bang cannot make something from nothing"
If there are multiple universes, then it's possible that 'leakage' from one to another has been the start of many 'big bangs'.

What is taught and why
in response to:
"Intelligent design science is far more advanced than evolution science, but it isn't being taught due to fear of punishment by the government."
Intelligent design isn't scicence, at least not as I understand it. Science is concerned with 'how' - ID is concerned with 'who' - they are answering different questions.
However, I'm all for theology being taught in schools.
