I'm curious, Serdna, just what kind of science background do you have? When I say background in science, I didn't mean the ability to look up words in the dictionary and then proclaim yourself to be a biologist.
By the way, run-on sentences are hard to read. Perhaps you'd like to ask someone else to proof read your messages before posting? It makes you look less like a stereotypical christian.

I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...
This message is more of a preemptive strike against creationists who decide to quibble at the words. I have seen some creationists argue that the First Amendment uses the word "Congress", which literally means the second branch in the federal government, instead of public institutions. This means that the First Amendment doesn't really apply to the the state level, which by the way is where public education belongs.
The preemptive strike is this. Look up the 14th Amendment and Selective Incorporation before you make yourself look like an idiot.

In this same way we should not force anyone to say that something they believe to be true is false, or vice versa.
I'm confused. Are you saying that christian theology, or at least to some, forbid believers from learning about the crusades, inquisitions, and witch burnings?
