What I have noticed about these debates...

quote:

---

That is a preposterous statement. It is creationism that has been
excluded from most public school discussions simply because the
students have heard no mention of it while studying science, history,
or social studies.

​

The "Christian" schools; on the other hand, do invite discussion
and try to explain the origin of evolution and attempt an honest
balance.

​

How do you get a student to investigate data if one is lead to believe
that ALL the data has already been correctly pondered and Evolution
is FACT? The case is closed and the student memorizes the chapter.
That isn't science.

Exactly what data do you feel should be culled from the Judeo-Christian creation myth in order to give children all the facts?

The ACLU wants no public mention of GOD. They feel (rightly so) that Creationism offers evidence supporting Biblical history (even though no mention of GOD needs to be stated).

---

"Public mention of God" is not their problem. Government endorsement of religion is what they're against.

What? Sure it is. Bush's public funding for faith-based charities, for instance. That's as obvious a public funding for religion that our constitution allows, I think.

I'm not even sure how much of it is actually allowed by our constitution. What was the final decision on the Salvation Army's hiring practices?Which leads to a key point for A Christian. Trust me, A_C, you really don't want separation of church and state to go away. It's not just there to protect the state from the church. It protects the church from the state as well.
