My take on this...I was raised in a Christian home.. My take on this is that you need to learn all the angles, then make a decision for yourself. It is wrong for someone to take away your right to choose what you will believe and what you will not believe. Like I always say, we won't really know the truth about God's existence until after we are dead. I hope I always remain open to differing points of view, and may I always (as the Templar said,) choose wisely.Dougohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276164932245039655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288080305441894911.post-83242661050230676262013-05-22T09:16:57.929-07:002013-05-22T09:16:57.929-07:00Great post!Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288080305441894911.post-19887940260039134592013-05-22T08:15:16.247-07:002013-05-22T08:15:16.247-07:00I grew up in a family with a mother who would have...I grew up in a family with a mother who would have pulled me from a class that was teaching me about evolution. <br /><br />Overcoming the deep indoctrination I was raised with, has been my life's greatest struggle. I'm thankful that I discovered the humanism and civility of Star Trek TNG back in the early 90's, and the writings of Dawkins and Hitchens in the 2000's. I believe both helped me become a more peaceful and complete human being.Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06555494071704603280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288080305441894911.post-76402569686395822802013-05-22T04:56:51.042-07:002013-05-22T04:56:51.042-07:00One of my good friends is a 60-something Christian...One of my good friends is a 60-something Christian woman who grew up in West Virginia. As she always says, "I learned about evolution in school and then I learned about Genesis on Sunday. It just never occurred to me that these were conflicting stories." <br /><br />Also, your sixth grade science teacher was an idiot. Too bad this hadn't happened more recently or else we could shame her on the internet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647825711446332733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288080305441894911.post-46843015463090019602013-05-21T20:00:26.115-07:002013-05-21T20:00:26.115-07:00Good for you!

I worry when I see the push to teach religion as science, and I hope to instill in my own children a healthy scientific curiosity.L.G.
