You are hereby appointed Commissioner of the Dept. of Education for Tennessee

I am impressed with such an intelligent argument. You have won me over.

The answer to question number one is no. As for question number three, the courts have mandated a separation of church and state. However, I personally believe that education is a kind of continuing dialogue,and a dialogue assumes ... different points of view.Aside from the above questions, I would like to relate my personal experience in the Tennessee public schools. I was a high school student in the 1950's when it was illegal to mention evolution in the schools. I was so intrigued by this that I read everything I could find in the public library on the subject. (forbidden fruit appeals to high school age students) In my opinion the courts are helping to create an interest in the creation theory with today's students.

Not only that but you almost convinced me to move out of Tennessee, but I just couldn't leave all this great "moomshine".

"What we (evolutionists) want is that the public schools themselves remain neutral in regard to promoting or discouraging religious beliefs".I couldn't agree with you more. My problem is that one must display as much faith to believe the theory of evolution as creation. One example: Nebraska man was scientifically built up from one tooth.
Now that requires faith! And as a side note - As I'm sure that you are aware, Nebraska man was later found to be the tooth of an extinct pig. I don't want to go through all six of the finds but there were problems with all of them. The Missing Link has never been found. And until it is one must exercise a lot of faith to believe the theory of evolution.Let's see, faith, that's your objection to the creation theory isn't it?
