by metric on 2005-01-14 11:40:28Creationism fails the Lemon test established by the Supreme Court in Lemov vs. Kurtzman: Under the Lemon test, a government-sponsored message violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment if: (1) it does not have a secular purpose, (2) its principal or primary effect advances or inhibits religion, or (3) it creates an excessive entanglement of the government with religion. -

by me on 2005-04-20 10:02:20should mention creationism. It's a longstanding belief which should be addressed on the grounds of scientific verifiability, not on emotional grounds of constitutionality or religious tolerance. -

by anonymous on 2005-09-28 01:29:55Creationism is in no way provable and provides very few plausible, verifiable arguments for its validity. Moreover, it is a longstanding belief that the moon is made of green cheese but we don't teach that. I believe in God. I do not believe in the church's interpretation of Creation. I do not believe that Moses' words translated from language to language to language and manipulated several times by the church should be taken to be the literal truth.
