WooHoo! More idiots running the gub'ment.

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...

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.

That's not really "not too distant" is it? In fact that's 1,997,990 years ionto the future. Seems I've got nothing to worry about yet.Also, my own prophecy: "Jesus will not return! Not only not in your lifetime, not in mine either (and I'm 27, so I've got some time to go yet.... I hope), nor in anyone's lifetime ever after!"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.

The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

Which is of course why it isn't illegal to exercise religion (praying) in school either.Edited by Huntard, : changed a word, for more clarity

Huntard, ole bean, we're in the 2000 millennium which I alluded to, not the 2000th millenium. Savvy? "...I hope...."? You really don't need to wait in order to figure it out, Huntard. 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.

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.

Aha! Language you see, not my native one! Smoke peacepipe on issue! 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."

So for you "2000 year" and "2000 millenium" (neither grammatically correct) are synonyms? Who knew?--Percy

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. Again (again and again) in our republic the elected reps make the determination. 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
(see bolded section) Humanism
Ideology
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: 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....
