It compares Creation vs. Evolution, very interesting points brought up.

You are wrong. As a scientist I must have faith in my postulates or I can go no farther. Aristotle's time came up with the idea of the atom and of electrons. Yet no one could prove it. They lived on faith for thousands of yers until it was proven and even then only by inference.

What is the difference? Why must one be ignored while the other forced upon us? Why does the liberal mind fear the idea of god so much?

Scientists and others are threatened just as much by religion sometimes. But you don't hear of them clammering too often.

Why must I be forced to have tolerance?
Why must I be forced to have a relgion I may not want (science)
Why must I be forced t pc?

If we are continually forced into things we do not want our minds and spirit will never be truly free.

Chesty... you are arguing semantics...

Faith and religion are two different things. You have faith in your postulate. You seek to prove your postulate. If it is later discovered to be erroneous, you abandon it. If it cannot be proven or disproven, it remains a postulate.

do some substitution...

You have faith in God. You seek to prove God's existence. If God is later proven to be imaginary, you abandon him. If he cannot be proven or disproven, he remains a postulate.

I don't recall a RELIGION ever saying GOD MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE, BUT I WE BELIEVE HE IS...

Thats why Im glad I went to private school, didn't have to put up with all that bullshit. If I offend you because I mention God, you can go the fuck to hell for all I care. If you don't believe in it, then just don't say it along with the people that do. Next we're gonna have to take out "In God We Trust" on our money because of all this politically correct bullshit

chesty,

you're making some bad comparisons and i really dont have the time to explain it all. if you really want to know the difference between faith in religion and "faith" in science, look up "the scientific method".

faith in your postulates isnt the same as faith in religion. thats a ridiculous comparison.

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer are not allowed in
most
public schools anymore because the word "God" is mentioned...a kid in
Arizona wrote the attached NEW school prayer. I liked it...

Arizona is typically a conservative Republican state, thus I'm not surprised that some child, under the guidance of his Republican parents, made up all this silly rhetoric......

Again, we are a nation founded on the separation between church and state, we have to do all we can to ensure that basic fundamental is adhered to tomorrow and next year, and forever. If someone needs to pray, there is usually a church just right around the corner...

Ryan.

I don't think that public schools should force them to say the prayers or whatever, but if someone WANTS to pray, say the pledge of allegiance, etc. Fucking let them!! I don't give a fuck about your religious or non religous beliefs, so why should you give a fuck about mine!!
