Last I looked mine stayed the same.
Where have I failed? Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention to you. When I said "everyone" I really meant people I've been paying attention to. Buz's points went down by 0.3. Mine went up by 0.3. Dr. A's went down by 0.6. 4 or 5 others went down by 0.2 or so.
On a separate note, Dr. Sing's took a nose dive in another thread...

Dr. A's went down by 0.6. Not as a result of this thread. In fact the only two ways to maintain my perfect 5 would have involved either (a) convincing you all to join the Cult of Dr Adequate or (b) killing all the voters. Fortunately my ego is sufficiently robust to survive a little regression to the mean.

Now, who wants to bet on which of us is right? Paymnets will be made at the end of time, when we have finally established I was right. Minimum wager is 10,000 Euros (stuff your Dollars, Yanks! ). Payments to be made to the "Huntard will live life comfortably" trust fund. Odds: 10,000 to 1 That I'm right (and I am, so don't miss this great investment!)

Well then, Doc, if it's good enough for Congress and the swearing in of the president etc, it should be good enough for the classroom. They're all gub'ment facilities. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

Which is of course why it isn't illegal to exercise religion (praying) in school either.

All you need do is an indepth study of the end time prophecies of the Biblical record, take a good look at what's going on globally and go figure. It's simple as that. If you ever do that, send me a message and we can arrange for your payment drop off. I'll take it in some kind of a commodity, thank you. The world currencies are tanking so rapidly that they likely won't be worth much by the time you get around to your study, thanks to the mindless monetary policies of the nations.

Coyote writes: But you are the best argument I've heard lately for fighting to keep a secular state. I really would not like to see young children exposed to your brand of belief. It would be healthier to let them run with sharp objects. LOL, Coyote. The school kiddies, in America's past, were exposed to a whole lot more Bible for a long time than what they are today, embracing Biblical beliefs. Those were the days of America's incline. These are the days of America's decline. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

I was referring to my general health, Buz. Barring any bad news in that area, I expect to live till I'm 80 (or maybe longer, who knows what the medical sciences are capable of then!), and when I finally die, my prophecy stands: "that I will not see Jesus's return."

DA85 writes: Why? Why is it hard for you as a Christian to have the same rights as everyone else? You're still not getting it, DC. Christians and creationists don't have the same rights as the secular humanists. Their ideology is exclusively taught in the classrooms.
DS85 writes: Ok then all beliefs must be taught... I do hope you have a while because we need to teach all religious beliefs now. Not just yours Again (again and again) in our republic the elected reps make the determination.
DC85 writes: It doesn't matter what the majority wants in these issues these a guaranteed rights and in order to protect them the government must stay neutral. The Bill of rights exist to protect some minorities from the majority. But the gub'ment's position in schools is not neutral. It is exclusively secular humanist as per the determinations of the republic majority of elected reps. The American republic is working nicely for you secular humanist sheeple and you're still whining, as per this thread, when a bone is thrown to someone elses ideology some place in the nation.

I would like to see that one-to one study, Buz, of how exactly reading the judeo-christian bible in school correlates to the incline/decline of America.
"Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow. Othersfor example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einsteinconsidered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws." -Carl Sagan

Secular
1 a : of or relating to the worldly or temporal b : not overtly or specifically religious c : not ecclesiastical or clerical
(see bolded section)
Humanism1 a : devotion to the humanities : literary culture b : the revival of classical letters, individualistic and critical spirit, and emphasis on secular concerns characteristic of the Renaissance Ideology1. the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual, social movement, institution, class, or large group. 2. such a body of doctrine, myth, etc., with reference to some political and social plan, as that of fascism, along with the devices for putting it into operation. So, basically what you want Buz, is for schools to be more worried about christian doctrine than social ideals? Please explain what, pray tell, the "secular ideology" is, anyways (in your own words, from your perspective) and HOW exactly it is harming our country (not just that it is keeping our school children free from indoctrination).

It's probably bone by the same people who showed that global warming is due to the decline in pirates:
I would like to see that one-to one study, Buz, of how exactly reading the judeo-christian bible in school correlates to the incline/decline of America. Interestingly, since pirates are on the rise again (you know, Somalia and all), it seems there's now some controversy about global warming! Coincidence, or something more? (Hey, I'm just asking questions!)

Well, you haven't beaten a slave to an inch of his life recently (don't kill him though, it's important to god that he lives through the ordeal), that's pretty damning....
