It's not debatable ... That's the whole point. No matter what anyone's belief system, the existence of God cannot be proven. It is not a fact. That doesn't dispute anyone's beliefs.

Do you love your wife?
Is that a fact?
Or is it only your belief that you do?
There's an easy way to settle this: Have the Yahweh-Jesus-Casper the Friendly Ghost-thing come down and talk to us.
Maybe the Jesus-thing can explain why he adamantly refuses to heal amputees.
Possibly, because our country and others keep creating them.....
If the teacher/school is going to use the word God, why not also use Allah and see the reaction.
Strange this test can stand, but a mom can't refuse to have her son complete homework about Islam. Why are teachers injecting religion or God in the first place.
This is just one more example of why it is wrong to discuss ANY religious beliefs (or non-belief) in a public school.
Exactly, yet some think it should be, after all, kids only learn it in school. Some say parents would only teach their way to their children. It has worked for years this way, why change now? Kids being innocent, are better than adults at figuring out and understanding how people believe.
The teacher should have never had god as a debatable example. she could have picked anything else to make a comparison.
People get so butt hurt over their religion. Try having mine. We are ridiculed every day. We don't care. I'm pretty sure God doesn't care either. He made the duck-billed platypus for crying out loud. Not sure that he cares about our silly hang ups and classifications.
