Okay now as a poster, rather than a mod. FJ creationism is vital to a Christian. If we don't believe the God created the earth, we are unable to have faith. Its not a "story" to most of us. True the biblical version of creationism can be seen as an analogy or story, BUT the underlying truth of the story is one of the basics of Christianity, and other religions.

I actually find it hard to hear that someone tells me that belongs in Sunday school personally. Especially just after saying you are free to believe whatever you want to believe. If we are to theories in school we should teach ALL theories and not one as fact.

ETA: Sorry FJ that second purple post was not directed at you, it was after re reading some of the thread and deciding more than a gentle reminder was needed
