[Sunday I
am preaching a sermon about evolutionism (sort of). The following thoughts were cut for the sake
of time.]
Think about
this… How many public school science teachers don’t believe in evolutionism
(the broader kind) themselves? In my
experience, many don’t. In fact, I’ve
known more science teachers who did not believe in it than I have known who
do. That’s the truth. But I thought all scientists supported
evolutionism? That’s what we’re told
isn’t it?
And beyond
that, how is it, that in this land of the free, science teachers are forced by
the state, that is, government, to teach evolutionism, while they are
explicitly forbidden to teach anything that hints at creationism or even
intelligent design?
Why is it
mandated that middle school and high school science teachers teach one “ism,”
evolutionism, as if it were fact… and that they shall not under any
circumstance advocate or even present as a possibility another “ism,”
creationism, which incidentally is still believed by the majority of
Americans?
If that
were not wrong enough, those teachers who do embrace evolutionism and reject
creationism are allowed and even encouraged to teach AGAINST creationism. Often, spinelessly, they simply show videos
crafted to carefully make creationists look foolish. I know this from personal experience. I have two older teens. I’ve seen it happen. I offered to rebut the video to no avail.
Let’s return
to the main fact that I wanted to point out.
Our science teachers are forced by our government to teach one belief
system over another, even regardless of what they, as scientists, may believe
themselves. How is this freedom of
religion? How is this academic freedom? It
is not freedom, rather it is the government mandated, forced indoctrination of
our children, and that of the godless kind you would expect from a communist
regime.
Who won the
cold war again?
And I can
hear the tired, worn out, historically ignorant mantra already... Separation
of Church and State… (repeat 3 times). It’s like the only five words some
people know, meanwhile they apparently have no understanding of what it
means. For now, I’ll simply say that
forcing science teachers to teach a theory about our origins which some of them
don’t even embrace… a theory that often leads to agnosticism and
atheism and has created an almost robotic generation of anti-religious, anti-church, secularly-biased young men and women… is a far cry from anything anyone ever had
in mind for "Separation of Church and State," which by the way is not even in the
Constitution.
So, what do
we do about all this? Ha, let me remind
you this is a blog… basically a place to vent… and it is already too long. Pray. Vote accordingly where you can. Speak up when you get a chance. At any rate, at least give it some thought. Ideas have consequences. Or, if you like, we could all start an organization. We could call it, "Citizens for Separation of Atheism and State." Who's with me?
