Just because its not "universally" shared, doesn't mean its wrong.

God doesn't exist; a fictional being created, that traces back to how the masters wanted to control their subjects by instilling fear that an almighty being can "smite" them if they go against their words; words that they claim came from "God".

Think you for once again imforming me of your view of religion. It is your opinion - and that is fine. Your opinion does not become a categorical fact just because you believe a certain way.

My proposed Creationism lecture.

Some ignorant fools have proposed that all of existence was created by a supreme being to a plan called Intelligent Design. They call this idea Creationism and it has no basis in fact or evidence to support it. It is pure nonsensical fiction designed to reinforce an equally nonsensical religion.

There I discussed Creationism in school.

Each step forward for creationism is a step backward for science.

Tennessee law allows creationism theory in classrooms - chicagotribune.com
I wish you lefties would stop confusing creationism with evolution.

Creation is the way that everything around us came into existence.

Evolution is the way the those created change to adapt to their surroundings.

85% of the earths population believe in a creator in some fashion.

Why do lefties want to silence the debate?

So, you argue that everything we see came from nothing?

Who's the crazy one?

Please explain the basis in fact that "created" something from nothing.

As someone above mentioned from the article:

"Groups including the American Civil Liberties Union and the state teachers union opposed the bill, which requires teachers to permit a discussion of alternative theories to evolution as well as other issues such as global warming.

Teachers are not allowed to raise the alternative theories but must explore them if mentioned."

Discussion of these theories is a good thing, why on earth would anyone oppose this?
