My Thoughts on School Religion

Ooh ooh ahhh ahhh! When you listen to this form of communication used buy monkeys, which are related to the ape family that humans supposedly descend from, is it not difficult to believe that in a matter of a few million years this would transform to a language that is communicate through words and numbers. This is just as impractical as believing that a higher power with supernatural strength and wisdom created this earth without leaving trace of evidence accept primary sources, yet it is unconstitutional to teach religion.
The argument between evolution and ID is not if religion is true but is it to be taught legally, but in some fashion isn’t the theory of evolution a religion. The word religion descends from an 11th century Latin word religio meaning careful pondering of divine things. The English word religion means a faith or belief. But most scientists who support evolution not only support it but they believe it and in some instant, they worship it, so because it’s not divine or spiritual but instead scientific is it stills not a religion. It’s like saying “I have no religion because I don’t believe in anything” but that is an oxymoron, to not believe in any thing is still believing in something because you believe that no religion is accurate.
People in America in some ways are the most disingenuous, hypocritical nature of people. They fight so that religion can’t be taught but when tragedy strikes; as it usually does we are quick to depend on the religion that is not worthy of being taught. Americans expect god to bless America, they claim they trust god yet they don’t think that religion should be a part of the public school curriculum. Americas only believe in god when it s convient.
As a Christian who is far from naïve and is not easily persuaded I have no problem at all with learning about others religion even if it totally contradicts my own, but what I do find to be an awful large dilemma is if they can teach me these extreme theories which are not fact, then why cant my theory which is not fact be taught.
