Christians should keep Scripture out of politics

The point isn't to teach everything, but be allowed to teach anything the local school board feels is appropriate.

fortunatly we have witnessed other forms of evolution that can be tested and applied.

then how would we ever doscover more about them?

or do you just not want to find out?

science = testable

god = not testable

Unless we've taken a single cell and evolved it into plant life, aquatic life, animal life, insects, and diseases (among about a zillion other things), all we've done is proven that incestuous relationships in a species destroys the species beyond recognition of other examples of that species.

Can you show me one example of a test we've performed that takes a minute population and results in a series of more advanced offspring populations than the parent, that fall into different classes of life (like plant vs animal)? If not, we've proved nothing.

Now your getting (a little) closer to the intent of the Founding Fathers, which was NOT an all encompassing centralized Government

that is not accurate at all. not even close. all evolution is not the same (something you should know) and therefore isn't looked at and/or tested the same.

which has little to do with the point that it would be literally impossible to test for god.

What exactly would you propose be taught about god in a science class?

If we had already done that we wouldn't need to continue learning how it happened etc. etc.

We are 100% in agreement on that. I fully don't think they're intent was to keep religion from being discussed by schools, or politicians, or anyone else for that matter. Based upon their own words, actions, speeches, etc., I don't think they meant for religion to be kept out of politician's decisions, either. Just that the government would not establish the religion people must believe in, or stop them from believing however the people chose.

That is exactly my point. You cannot test for humans, nor assume the tests done on other species applies to humans. We know nothing about human evolution. It's a myth, with no scientific basis.

which has little to do with the point that it would be literally impossible to test for god.

Nothing. But, about ID - the same as what's taught about evolution, or abiogenesis, or any other mythology regarding life.

To "continue" learning, we would have had to have learned something already, not just had supposition.
