.
It's not forbidden for children to pray or mention Jesus in schools.

Lots of praying in schools, especially during final exams.

Whatever happens .. avoid the effort required to actually think deeply and logically ...

Since when has being intellectually 'comfortable' been followed by practical solutions to life's real
challenges?

I let a challenge here for the evolutionist to 'think deeply and logically' if you can... i don't think you can since you believe veins evolved, have you ever seen a diagram of the veins in the human, body, oh, they are put in the correct places all through the whole person, so how many random mutations were building that system? that is harder to believe than to God for sure.
And don't say this a statement of incredulity, i also don't believe a little kid can build a space rocket.

Hard to say how many mutations, but continuous randomly distributed variation followed by natural selection is what built the system.

You are too deep in evolution thoughts to think random mutation would build veins in the correct places to natural selection to work, you know veins are related to organs and body parts, and the whole system works together etc? how evolution knew that? is not more likely a design choice? it is.

I don't think random mutation built the system. Randomly distributed variation followed by natural selection built the system. Why do you think the theory is called 'the theory of evolution by random variation and natural selection' and not '...random mutation and natural selection?' And it works because the selective environment for any trait includes related traits and not just the environment external to the creature. Related traits evolve together in an interactive process.

I think is pretty obvious to think the human body was made with intelligence, lots of 'smart design choices' in it. You can't deny this.

Smart like the tube that allows us to eat being the same tube that allows us to breath, thus allowing us to choke?

"Smart design choices" arrived at by trial and error.

That's so people can't talk with their mouths full.

.... not really.
Being unable to talk while you have liquid in your mouth for fear of spilling it everywhere, now THAT stops you talking you with your mouth full.

Well, then consider the poorly positioned prostate gland in human males!

Considering it's function it's in the right place.

Must be so. Who but an engineer would want to run a sewage canal through a prime recreational area?

I think it's a pretty good design, tucked away out of sight until needed. :D

A good diet and good hygiene eliminate most problems.

Blood vessels are in the 'correct places' (they're in all tissues) because they evolved with the organs they supply and because those organs produce chemical signals that promote the infiltration and proliferation of blood vessels. Tumours & cancers use the same chemical signals to get their own blood supply.
