Not yet.

evolution was never a part of whether or not creationism was to be taught in schools. even our forefathers were smart enough to not intrude upon other peoples religions so that they would be able to have a strong and supported military. evolution is no where near a fact and its barely a theory and will never be seen because it franky just doesnt happen. there have been several mass conversions to christianity throught history, im sure another will come in due time and then our society will finally be taught the truth in school.

not necessarily, it can still be supported by science and not be a scientific journal.

anymore religious strife is definetly not necessary. however most of the amendments past the bill of rights are pure bull plop. thats just my opinion but you should read a few of em, they're just tryin to take more and more rights away from citizens and trying to gain more money and power themselves.

a poll tax may not be levied
the District of Columbia gets a presidential vote in the electoral college
we have plans for what to do if the president/VP dies
Let's see, other than that, we limited term length for presidents,
changed the timing of presidential and congressional terms, we installed then repealed prohibition (they cancel each other out), and income taxes were authorized.
Only the last one seems to be at all interpretable as having to do with government getting more power, and that's highly debatable.
You were saying? Since you say that "most" of the amendments after the Bill of Rights were bull-plop, could you identify which of the above you were talking about?

they should have had those rights to begin with is what i was going at. we made some huge mistakes at the beginning and it took an entire war to convince the south otherwise. i was making fun of prohibition mainly and now the government is allowed to look at any information it wants on the internet without warrants, it suppose to be for stopping the evil taliban but im sure they abuse it. also granting corporations the same rights as a person was a monumentally stupid decision, check out www.adbusters.org and im sure youll find all sort of weird stuff thats anti anything capitalist.
