I dont beleive in god or in any other religion but why cant our public schools have a class that discusses religions and there bases and compares them to the theory of evolution, also at my school they have metting for prayer and god at the flag pole (which happens to be realy funny because thats were all the goth, punk, ets. kids stand after school). but why cant they have something for satanism, if some one was to wear something contreversial like that they would be taken to the office and be punihed, even if it was a real religion to them, but if you wear a cross arounf your neck it is perfectly fine and accepted.

The argument for God's existence from design has been around for centuries. It's not falsifiable in its current form, intelligent design.There's not one experiement we can conduct to verify it, so it's purely hypothetical, and about as useful, scientifically, as postulating extraterrestrial interaction in Earth's historical cataclysms. The problem of the "irreducible complexity" of certain complex structures doesn't provide evidence for an all-powerful designer, but that 1) we don't have a sufficient theory to explain them yet or 2) that some 'extra-evolutionary' design occured, which doesn't at all demonstrate the Christian God, but a possible multiplicity of designers. Explaining how these designers then came into being, who could make things that are "irreducibly complex" would then be even more quizzical than looking for a natural process.
In addition, If they taught creation myths in the classroom, they would have to teach all of them, and I don't think parents want that.

Creationism is a theory as well as evolution, but they can not teach creationism in schools because it's the belief of certain religions and there are other religions who have different theories on the beginning. Now if they were to teach every theory on the beginning we would no longer have an argument here and everyone "in theory" lol should be happy, but I suspect not.
Anyways, about the flag pol thing you mentioned, my school did the same thing and it's also the same place where all the smokers met after school and lunch time. I asked one of the prayer kids why the flag pole and he told me it was to cleanse the evil smokers spirits from around the pole lol, he was joking but it was very funny I think.

Evoution is a theory. Born of science. Creationism is bull, born of the back room of the Souther Baptists. Evolution is the handywork of creation. Creationism is a cheap dodge to shove a belief system down the kids throats. But it's also an IQ test.

nothing wrong with that at all, as long as it's not put forward as a science. Creationism has never been science.
Creationism is looking for patterns, which is what astrology does. ie;what any ordinary human does.
Do u want astrology in your classroom?
