Editor,
I read with interest the so-called debate on “Evolution and Intelligent Design.” I do take exception to Mr. Dale Morejon’s explanation of “scientific theory.” He states that “science theory is an aggregation of facts or phenomena etc. etc.” So, let’s take that theory to task!
The definition of “theory” is “a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural.” “It is to assume or take for granted or without proof.” Kindly check your dictionary. The scientific theory about the beginning of the Universe is “the Big Bang Theory.” The Big Bang Theory is a theory that deduces a cataclysmic birth of the universe.
The Big Bang Theory starts out with saying that the beginning of all the universe was from a huge primordial atom that exploded, and from there everything began. The only flaw with that scientific theory is, “Where did that primordial atom come from?” Oh! You just assume that it was just there. Man, that’s really following scientific logic, is it not? On top of that, I was taught in a science class that anything that large and compact would not explode, but implode and make one huge black hole and suck everything that was just there into it.
Mr. Morejon also states, “Religion has never been removed from the public schools.” So, if teachers and students are not to mention “God,” what would you call that?
One item to remember: This Nation was started by Christians, and defended by Christians; and the laws were written by Christians from Christian tradition. The only mistake they made was that by Christian kindness, they let others participate; and their thanks from the others is/was from non-believers to erode the Christian belief from them and use their way of thinking as a substitute.
On the legal aspect, the Constitution states, “Separation of Church and State.” This was done so that neither could meddle in the affairs of the other. It does not state, “Separation of Church from State.” There is a difference.
One more thought. It is the God given and political right of all citizens (including students), to hear both sides of a controversy so they may be able to make their own decisions on the matter. That definitely does not limit the debate to the so-called “scientific theory”.
It has been stated in court (by Atheists), that they don’t want their children exposed to belief in God. These are the minority. What about the majority who do not want their children exposed to Atheism?
