My grandfather was an elder of his church for twenty-seven years and worked at his church and everything. For several years he worked at NASA and my dad is a civil engineer. I love science and it was always one of my favorite classes when I was in high school whether it was biology or chemistry or physical science. It was all fun to me and I loved learning more about my world. Science is about the how and why. I don't get why so many of my fellow Christian's are afraid of science. *sigh* Just because I believe in science and do not want ID taught in schools doesn't mean that I'm against God and don't believe in God. That's why it's called faith. The first amendment is made for two purposes. To protect the church from the government and minorities from the church. The founding fathers knew this and were brilliant with the first amendment. I always thank them for it. Because in ten years from now wicca could be the popular religion since we do not have a national religion as we shouldn't. ID is a belief in a creator whether you're Christian or some other faith. If you put ID in schools you will be forcing other people to learn about something with a creator. That is forcing religion onto someone. I as a person who someday wants to be a parent want to be the one who teaches and guides my someday child where religion is concerned. They say it's not about religion (they as the fundamentalists) but it really is. Look at the outburst from Pat Robertson. Even a preacher at my grandmother's church this past Sunday talked about this and how it was bad the judges ruling. Of course I rolled my eyes through that part. Oy. You can tell it's about religion because of who is rooting for it. Where are the pagans? Jews? Muslims? No where in site rooting for this ID. They know what it's about. And I remember either reading here or hearing on a program that there was a book about Creationism where they changed the word to Intelligent Design and it was presented to a judge. The judge recognized it all and knew what they were up to. It's purely UnConstitutional and Un-American. I can't stand it anymore.
