I thought Theory was a Theory because it could not be proven as fact correct?...However many people treat Evolution as a fact and not a theory...just an observation.

Look at what is illegal in schools. Bibles, The Lord's prayer I hear some places, tracts, teaching about Jesus as creator, etc. Even some disipline and godly teachings that happen at homes. The stated reasons people get arrested may not say, 'for being christian' but that is in effect what a lot of it is.Telephone said:You said people get arrested these days for being Christian, and the best example you can provide is that of a man getting arrested 2000 years ago for treason ?
Great, you admit it.it is 'persecution''
Says you. A Christian come with certain actions, like preaching the gospel. When laws exist that make this impossible, they are disobeyed. Like the early apostles who were beaten, and warned not to preach any more.I am sure some of their aims may have been valid but they were not simply arrested for being Christian.
No luck needed.Best of luck with all that.

Where is your evidence that she does not know "jack about it"? If your going to accuse someone of something, then you need to produce the evidence. Although a personal attack of this sort is a violation of the rules.tocis said:If you are a teacher - why do you teach stuff without knowing jack about it?

I don't want to hijack and evo thread so I won't post on this again but I will say this....most of those sources involve cases where there is church/state seperation issues that protect the church as much as they protect the state. They are NOT antichristian.dad said:A resident assistant in a dormitory at the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire has been told that he cannot hold informal Bible study sessions in the dorm because it would amount to an illegal endorsement of religion by a state employee, ..

Then there is the case of the Montgomery County Public Schools refusal to distribute take-home flyers to parents announcing after-school meetings of Child Evangelism Fellowship because the group is evangelical and its predominate objective is proselytization. When challenged in federal court by Christian Legal Society attorneys, the Maryland school system admitted it routinely distributed flyers for other student groups, including those with religious purposes.

Spanking is in the news again, and parents have every reason to be concerned that anti-spanking fanatics will not rest until corporal punishment is banned throughout society. In recent weeks, the spanking issue has gained public attention from Brookline, Massachusetts to Great Britain and several points in between. A concerted effort by self-designated child experts is directed at subverting parental rights and parental authority by eliminating spanking and replacing discipline with a relationship of negotiation between parent and child.

The extent of the antichristian spirit that prevades many countries has not reached total proportions yet. They allow a little extra curricular activity. But do not pretend it is not antichrist at heart, and getting more so, deary. Soon the bible will be illegal. All men will have to get the mark of the beast by force of law. People like telephone will likely say something like.' 'Oh it isn't the mark of the beast we need this for security, and ..etc'

Of course they are. They are against Christ. They tossed Him out, They tossed out crosses, prayer, bible, bible classes, and anything else that wreaked of God. They must account for that, and I assure you, they will.flicka said:....most of those sources involve cases where there is church/state seperation issues that protect the church as much as they protect the state.

It shows even one darn verse is not tolerated from the bible in schools.The purity ring issue is NOT a Christain issue. Purity rings have nothing to do with Christain faith...it's a fad that the school doesn't want to deal with, which is their choice.
Pr 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.Spanking is NOT a christian issue either. Why is this even being brought up?
Heb 11:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye *******s, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
I wouldn't know, I don't feel that way. I simply ackowledge the facts.Feeling persecuted is often the result of insecutiry.
Not evolution from a common ancestor!!!!!! That is the real issue. That is a fact.Nooj said:Evolution is a FACT. It is a repeatedly confirmed observation. Just like gravity is a FACT.
But evolution is also a THEORY. Just like gravity is a THEORY.
What is wrong with presenting scientific evidence for creationism in the science class?
