i want alternatives to the outcome of the 2000 US presidential election to be taught in schools....

i was just browsing thru the news on my homepage and i came across this one:

I used to argue with my sister about this whole evolution deal.  This article makes it sound like gwb said something worthy of an intelligent person when he says that education should expose people to different schools of thought.  at first read of that, it sounds good.  with a little bit more reading, it makes me wonder what ever happened to seperation of church and state?

just to straighten this out first:  i would have a real hard time beleiving that someone could argue against evolution that was not fueled by their own religious beleifs.  so don't tell me that evolution is bs based on scientific facts.  i know your own religious beleifs are behind that.

now that thats straightened out lets go back to gwb.  he at least knows that he can't just say that evolution should not be taught in schools, that would be kinda like saying that math should not be taught, well maybe not that extreme, but similar.  math and science (biology at least) span all cultures and religions is the point here.  so this push to teach "different schools of thought" is motivated by a single [shared by millions] religious view.  and our seperation of church and state???

okay, seriously i don't really care too much what bush or any of our "leaders" think should be taught and what they base those decisions on, YET.  but now if some other country came and took over our land of freedom and made us live under their own rule, I would be very happy to have strong seperation of church and state, because they would turn your kids into muslims!  then we would all appreciate the seperation of church and state i'd be willing to bet.

i even often don't see what the big argument is about.  creationism and evolution do not seem to be mutually exclusive ideas to me.  why can't people accept that maybe both are true?.  an example: the computer network was developed [created] long before you ever had a computer.  networks today [the internet] don't resembe the very first computer networks, cause they evolved....  get the point.  well i don't know why i bothered so much with this, but now i have more work to do, so i'd better get back to it.  Java is calling!

sorry to have wasted your time.....
