I loved my comparative religion class in college as well.

What is "fair", is to teach science in science classes, and religion in religion classes. Anyone who has a problem with that, in either direction, is the one who is seeking to be unfair. Any creationist who claims they are promoting a science, is lying. Any evolutionist who claims they can disprove creationism, is lying. But in the end - it's not going to really matter. > > -Cameron It wasn't long ago in this country that evolution was banned from science classrooms. The unthinkable isn't only possible, it's happened before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213848 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
