Okay... maybe I wasn't specific enough. Why should they just say. "This is the only way it could have happened"? Like Village Idiot said, I kinda meant Why dont they cover everything a little bit, instead of jsut one thing? sorry, i can't explain it well.

No one is saying that God is forbidden... but religion is a choice, and by teaching it in PUBLIC schools, you're taking that choice away.
My feeling is that if you're going to teach Creationism in school, then you have to teach it from the aspect of ALL religions. Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Judaeism, etc... or not teach it at all, and let the children learn from an outside source.

Well, there's this thing called the scientific process. All theories in science are based around this. It is a process...rational, thought-out, tested. God was created by many different individuals throughout the course of history. I would even argue that for some people, God was created as a form of controlling the way people think.

perhaps we are looking for a complex explanation, as in scientific theories. God has a very simple explanation. You don't have to look any further than within yourself. You don't even need to look to religion for the answer. Even that has complicated God. Do you really think god intended to make life difficult. The manual of life is built within us. God is within us, god is Us. God is not a he or a she or an it, God is the essence of life. When you can comprehend that your questions will be answered.
On the contrary, God is not forbidden. God is always available, you just have to find god in yourself.

The funny thing is that it is scientific theory, not scientific fact. Faith plays a big roll in both options; you must have faith that science works exactly how humans dictate it does, or you must have faith in God being a supreme being that created all. Neither one is ultimately un-deniably true according to our limited thought and reasoning - it is narcissistic of humans to think that comprehension of the universe is within the bounds of our mind. Personally, I am with the guy in the sky theory.

Why would anyone want a school teacher to teach God anyways?
God cannot be measure nor tested, yes, but that does not mean that he or she or it does not exist. Can you measure love? Can you measure hate? Love and God are synonymous.
God is the creator of science and true science can be an unbiased way to find God. To ignore science and ignore the theories of evolution is to ignore the blueprint of God and his creation.

If someone wants to take a class on religions, and how those religions explain life, that's fine. But God does not belong in science classes like biology. My high school had a seminary class for Mormons, where students could choose to learn about that religion. It would have been better if they taught about many religions, but no one listens to me.

It all started back during The Enlightenment, which "advocated rationality as a means to establish an authoritative system of aesthetics, ethics, and logic. The intellectual leaders of this movement regarded themselves as a courageous elite, and regarded their purpose as one of leading the world toward progress and out of a long period of doubtful tradition, irrationality, superstition, and tyranny, which they believed began during a historical period they called the Dark Ages.
The Enlightenment occupies a central role in the justification for the movement known as modernism. The neo-classicizing trend in modernism came to see itself as being a period of rationality which was overturning foolishly established traditions, and therefore analogized itself to the Encyclopediasts and other philosophes.
The Enlightenment is held, in this view, to be the source of critical ideas, such as the centrality of freedom, democracy and reason as being the primary values of a society. . . In this view, the tendency of the philosophes in particular to apply rationality to every problem is considered to be the essential change. From this point on, thinkers and writers were held to be free to pursue the truth in whatever form, without the threat of sanction for violating established ideas."
People began pushing away from Religion and more towards Scentific reason. Eventhough the two, to the contrary belief of others, do go hand in hand.

You can have any mythology or superstition you want. You can pray to God, Allah, or the Mighty Bellybutton Lint - no one will stop you, as long as you do not try to force it on anyone else. But none of that has anything to do with science or how things work.
Your spirituality is yours alone - science is universal.

As soon as God presents himself in such a way that he can be measured and tested, he will be included.
But until such time, he'll have to wait in the waiting room with the Easter Bunny & Santa Claus.

because in an effort to separate church and state, they went overboard and divorced them. science is not the church so the state accepts it. but in truth science is the religion of the godless and like other ratical religions it is intolerant to anyone or any ideals that challenge their pathetic theories. oddly, of all the things science can explain, it has no way to acknowledge a miracle
