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.

Moses's words were recorded by scribes who made thousands of copies of one chapter jut so that the manuscript would be perfect. Also the Dead Sea Scrolls prove the correctness of the "manipulated" words.
