Welcome Beretta,I'm not sure if you received a proper welcome, but we are glad you decided to add to our diversity.That said, I strongly suggest that you start fresh.Read Message 176 by Percy and his previous messages. Message 123, Message 134, and Message 142Then take the time to construct a clear positive argument for why you feel creationism should be taught in schools.Think of it as writing a proposal to have creationism included in the curriculum. What positive information would you present to them so that they feel teaching creationism is advantageous to our children.Take that into account along with the advice from Percy and respond to Percy's last message with a concise argument for your position.The other participants in this thread should also heed Percy's last post.As members, we are guests on this board and as guests we are asked to put forth our best behavior.

So that members and visitors don't misunderstand who is saying what, it is wise to label quotes when you are using what has been quoted from another post.Example from your post.Granny quoted Nem and responded.
You pulled Nem's quote and Granny's response, but didn't note that the original quote was Nem's.For clarity, the quote should have looked like this. You can even do one of these numbers so everyone is clear on who said what. You can use the peek button to see how it was done.
