I heard, i think this was told to me by my ninth grade English teacher, that some schools are implementing a sort of midway between "there is no god" and "there is one", and basically what it is, is there is a "supernatural being" who created the earth, and then let evolution do it's job? This is what i basically believe in now, so... does anyone else agree or has heard about this? Heh, i call it "Emperorism" since i play alot of Dawn of War, xD. (you'll get what i mean by Emperorism if you play/know the lore of DoW. Not meaning to sterotype here though or anything.)

Hm, from your answers, it seems there is nothing that supports this... And yeah, i have noticed they made the pledge optional. Okay, thanks muchs you guys... (and as for the emperorism thing, i was just kidding, i dont think i would make up my own god... i'd probably have to go insane before i do that. I drank a bunch of soda while typing that anyway... and a few Nos's...) And from browsing some more, I'd say im Agnostic. Thx again all, will be sure to give a best answer to someone here!

With a few criminal exceptions, public schools do not and should not teach whether or not there is a supernatural being, let alone the Christian God specifically. Constitutionally, public funds cannot be used to promote any religion or religious beliefs. There is nothing wrong with teaching in public schools that religion exists, that some people believe that it contradicts scientific evidence for evolution, but they cannot say or even suggest that it is true that a "supernatural being" created the universe and then let evolution take its course.
It is amazing how many convolutions fundamentalist evangelical Christians will go to (calling it "intelligent design" instead of Biblical creation, making up a whole universe between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 which the Bible doesn't even mention, changing "Days" to "Periods of Time", etc.).
But Biblical creationism is still a religous belief no matter what you call it, and it has no place in public schools, let alone in science classes.

I have not heard of this. I and many spiritualists believe that God does create through evolution. This is not a new concept and has been around since the 1800's. In genesis where it states the world was dark and void and God said let there be light, we believe this was the start of the Big Bang or explosion.

Guildwarsguy 123,
Sorry on two counts for the name,"Emperorism"--
The belief in a creator who established physical laws (and moral laaws, too) then walked away from the Universe is already called "Deism"
And I'M already Emperor of the whole planet, Mongo (it's imaginary but really, really big! That makes me a really big Emperor)

You heard? No public school system would allow such a thing, and rightly so. 1) You are either very gullible and will believe anything or 2) You're making up BS just to state your opinion. I think #2.

You aren't allowed to teach religion in High School unless the class is on theology. Otherwise, religion and education are separate in the public school system. The pledge is optional now also which is good to know.

it is a few distance too long to study, so i'm going to easily component out that faculties ought to be understood to be no longer something better than childcare institutions of final motel the place parental or different casual care is for some reason unavailable, similar to orphanages, and that they might desire to have no exhibit educational function different than as a passive source centre, or perhaps then the only varieties of components which ought to be accessible are those that are difficult to furnish otherwise. they might desire to be an exceptionally minor area of society and marginalised.

People that think that way are usually trying to justify in their head the fact that they believe in God while believing in science. It sounds like you are an atheist waiting to see the light. Social pressure will not let you admit it even in your own head. I say this out of experience. I may be wrong.

I don't understand why schools have to have an opinion on religion in the first place. I don't care what the consensus is, or if there is one...religion is a PERSONAL thing, not a societal thing.

Where but in your imagination can such a belief be supported? Its certainly not biblical. Read Genesis.
