    I don't want some English teacher taking 30 min out of third period to tell my child how a relationship with his maker is "supposed" to work. Or how the textbook says it happened.
    You're not bad farbin.

    I'd like to see a non biased world religion class - but that's not going to happen.

      It actually says, let "US" (meaning more than one god) create man in our image.

      1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

      Sorry Turf.

        I'm not debating semantics - just that the idea of god (and all religion) changes as we see fit so that it's more comfortable to us.

          Thanks. I like to find the similarities in every religion. I know this kinda went off topic, but yeah, If humans could keep their own personal spin on everything we'd be better off.


          And, I see what your saying up there.

                Sorry, I'll get back on track.
                I don't know about making adjustments - but I can entertain the possibility that a god or gods created the laws and rules that led to the big bang, the universe, evolution, etc. That seems like a more plausable "creation" theory to me than one that ignores hundreds of years of evidence that things have been here waaay before us. hell, the first scientists were christians.

                  Cool, that's more along the lines my inability to truly conceptualize the whole event ties to.

                    My only question then, is why does there have to be an initial creator?
                    Hemingway said it best. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”

                      I agree. We shouldn't put our own spin on God. I guess you are reading me as a Sunday School presentation to the class and not a scientific one. There is scientific proof of Creation (I don't have any sources off hand, but I know there are plenty). Teach it soley from the scientific side of things. Relationship with God doesn't even need to come up.

                        Because, without an initial creator, there would be no laws to govern the methods in which the interactions created in existence.

                        Think The Matrix and the Architect, Didn't matter until the end, but was the integral factor for the existence of the matrix. Also allows the potential for a higher level of attainment from the one existing now.

                          Without the understanding of the relationship, the understanding of the "rules" wouldn't jibe.

                          Think of teaching drivers training to students, but never explaining the relationship with police officers. So they know they can/can't, but there is no higher power (role/person) in which to understand the ultimate power they respect, and the officers wield.

                            When it comes down to it it's all not worth talking about. There's 5 ways to look at it;

                            God is real.
                            The big bang is real.
                            God is fake.
                            The big bang is fake.
                            NEITHER of them are explainable - thus making them equally unbelievable.

                            However, there's much more evidence supporting evolution and the big bang. God is an unexplainable solution to an unanswerable (currently) question. ie useless.

                                That wasn't my point - but i guess they can in someone's mind.
