We Should Lower Our Guns on Creation Issue
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Ten English words. Six in Hebrew. The basics of creation.
No gauntlet thrown down to science. No polemic against anyone who dares to challenge current thinking on life's development. (The original challenge of Genesis 1 was to other ancient religions.)
The words form a statement of faith, not a scientific theorem or principle.
Yet, here we are, three millennia since the words were put on papyrus, and "enlightened generations" are engaged in political and judicial warfare.
Two weeks ago (Dec. 20), a federal judge ruled that a Pennsylvania public-school district could not teach intelligent design - a belief that the origins of life are better explained by an intelligent cause than by natural selection - in a biology class.
In November, the State Board of Education in Kansas adopted new science standards for public schools that treat evolution as a flawed theory.
Neither ruling has quelled the debate over the origins of life. It's just as nasty and confrontational as ever.
So, who's at fault? Full Story
