For your disobedience, you know you could go to the unpleasant third of Hades.
You do know that the worlds greatest thinkers, Aristotle, Plato, Archimedes, Pythagoras, were all believers of Zeus right?
Zeus gave you a choice: you have free will. Why do you chose not to be saved?
If you find this annoying in the least, do you see why we normal people (many Christians included) don't want trash like creationism taught in schools?

h20: That's not what Aristotle and Plato and Zeus would say.
They are laughing in the better part of Hades waiting for you to go to the worse one.
Just as your logic is often used against others, I am using your logic against you.

wolfe: Because there are no good alternative theories.
There is absolute scientific trash like creationism which turns out to be a decent religous reason.
We don't teach evolution in Church: make your mind up at home, we only teach facts at school.

Hey Bobby: Zeus disagrees. What are you going to do about it? Your evangelising rhetoric fails here.

many problems with Zeus, first when he foretold the future he was wrong. second when he explained the past he was wrong. and last he could not handle the whole world and needed others help. what kind of god is that.
nice attack but evolution has more problems then creation. no proven facts. Richard Dawkins question about how fossil record does not match evolution his answer because the fossil record is wrong. now that is funny.

I'm a Christian, but not a fundamentalist, and I find your attitude annoying. You act as if evolution should be taught as the only possible theory -- when, in point of fact, it is not.
I may not agree with some of the more extreme versions of creationism, but I also don't agree with calling someone else's beliefs "trash." That doesn't say much for your tolerance or objectivity.
Why not present all possibilities and allow the students to make up their own minds about what they believe? A balanced approach makes a lot more sense to me than slanting the issue in favor of one side or the other.

I am agnostic, and I am not opposed to creationism being taught in schools. Why, I guess because it can't be ruled out as a possibility, just like evolution can't be ruled out. I liked the way you brought about the point. Unfortunately, teaching Creationism brings about the issue of fair play, if you teach it, then you have to represent all beliefs that exist, to be fair. So I guess on the side of practicality, maybe it shouldn't be taught, tell the kids that if they want to learn about that stuff, to look on the internet :D

Paul addressed the Greeks at Athens, at Mars Hill:
Acts 17:19
And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

The difference between "normal people" and all who are true believers in Almighty God, which excludes those who don't believe that God created the world, is that true Christians truly believe in God, whereas "normal people" don't believe in Zeus.

science is a mean of reasoning. It is bound within its own limits and laws. things that are Super natural cannot be explained by science. That's why theres religion.

Aristotle, Plato, Archimedes, Pythagoras are all dead and berried and separated from God forever. That's what believing in Zeus will do for ya
