"Intelligent design" cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial.

Won't someone think of the vermicelli?

And I should probably state for the record that I'm a "Creationist" (*ducks to avoid stoning*) who still expects actual science to be taught in classrooms.

Mixing science and faith-based religious beliefs is NOT a good idea.

Lol... No stoning from this direction...

My dad was a Methodist minister for a few years before he passed away. I was very devout back then. Now, there are too many ideas that don't make sense for me in any specific religion.

Religion has been a BIG issue lately for C. and me because we're working on having children. A HUGE part of who we are today is based on the fact that both of us had church as a part of our lives and we have fond memories of activities like summer Bible school and church camp. However, since we don't believe in any single religion anymore, providing those types of experiences for our children becomes problematic. We've talked about going to many churches, synagogs, etc. instead of trying to find just one to belong to. That way our children will be exposed to many ideas. The main concern with that is that we don't confuse them.

I LOVE when anyone has faith. I only object when people tell me that I'm WRONG and that I'm going to hell or wherever for not believing what they believe.
