Science, Creation & EvolutionTheory of evolution is deception!Aineo wrote:Now lets expose the lie that this countries founders intended the First Amendment to mean separation of church and state. When the Senate first convened in New York City on April 6, 1789, one of its first orders of business was to appoint a committee to recommend a candidate for chaplain. On April 25, the Senate elected the Right Reverend Samuel Provoost, Episcopal Bishop of New York, as its first chaplain. Since that time, the Senate has been served by chaplains of various religious denominations, including Episcopalians (19), Methodists (17), Presbyterians (14), Baptists (6), Unitarians (2), Congregationalists (1), Lutherans (1), Roman Catholic (1), and Seventh-day Adventist (1). The Senate has also appointed guest chaplains representative of all the world's major religious faiths. In addition to opening the Senate each day in prayer, the current Senate chaplain's duties include spiritual care and counseling for senators, their families, and their staffs -- a combined constituency of over 6,000 people -- and discussion sessions, prayer meetings, and a weekly Senators' Prayer Breakfast.

The First Amendment was to prevent any religious discipline from controlling the United States of America, which was first settled by people escaping religious persecution. European history is full of Catholicism persecuting and executing non-Catholics as well as Protestants persecuting and executing those who did not accept their theology. The Puritans were escaping persecution by the Church of England or Anglicans as this denomination is known in America. The founders of the U.S. recognized that faith was extremely important, which is why then General Washington convinced the Continental Congress to import 20,000 Bibles from Europe. See this Internet site: http://www.statesman.org/AmericanMinute ... &year=2006 Therefore, we can discern not only from the writings of our founding fathers but from their actions that the ACLU and the Supreme Court are working together to remove religion of any flavor from our history.
Now Non-Buddhist, I understand the Theory of Evolution. However, as I have posted there is far to much evidence from the physical sciences that show macroevolution is more mythology than science. You see all of the examples cited to support macroevolution are in fact speciation or microevolution. Tuppence has refuted the e-coli example. I will see if I can find that thread. Macroevolution, while a nice theory is in my opinion far from being logical.
Can you please provide evidence for what you are talking about? Because as I see it, you're just making up lies and promoting ignorance, and I do not take kindly to ignorance.
Also, most of the founding father's were deists and atheists. Some were Christians, but that is a minority, and they DID intended to separate church and state, as Jean Locke had indicated. He actually used Theism as an argument as to why they shouldn't be fused. When one controls the other everything goes awry. They should be separate so they can do their jobs more effectively without worrying about the other. Also, people are responsible for their own souls, so if someone WANTS to go to hell, why not let them? I know it may hurt your tiny brain, but I personally would love to go to hell with Ghandi, and Christopher Reeve.
I bet the next thing you're going to say is that we weren't influenced by the Philosophes, or the Native Americans.
