Hey you know what? So am I. I think school boards should have the power to decide, not the federal government. I believe both evolution and the chance that a Creator is behind the process can explain some things that the other has a hard time with.
And guess what else, most people in this country do believe that there is a Creator behind how we got here (no matter what the process). Seems like Obama does too. So you better insult Obama with that same breath if you are agnostic/athiest.
School boards can decide when the government stops funding them.....like Bob Jones University. You can pay them to learn all about stuff that doesn't exist.
You say that you believe in the chance that there is a creator which helps explain things we don't understand: Isn't that how they handled tough questions 1000 years ago? Dude, it's 2008. Just because we don't understand things doesn't mean there is a creator. Furthermore, just because people believe nonsense or things that can't be proven, doesn't mean it deserves equal time in schools.
PS: I'm not voting for Obama or McCain, but I don't hear Obama talking about teaching lunacy in our publically funded schools.
