That's right, didn't Samson kill someone with the jawbone of a triceratops? :p

I watched a program caled "When the sacred cows and religion meet" Gorge v. Coyne the director of the Vatican observatory discussed in lenght the universe and evolution from a scientific stance. He is a scientist. At the end of his lecture, he said he believed in God. He stated that God did not create human life out of necesity but by choice. This was after going to great lenght to describe the universe as being billions of years old. At the end of his lecture, he was asked how could he believe in God. He stated, and I'm paraphrasing. If I could explain my faith in God, I would explain something other than God. I do not understand. Everytime God is mentioned, he is father away. We cannot explain human existance. "God defys explanation." The point being, creationism has no scientfic evidence, where there is proof of evolution. In my opinion creationism is a religious belief. If a scientist states his beliefs are based on faith, with nothing to back it up, how can it be taught as a theory of human existance? I feel we need to stick with what has been proven to a certain degree. I have nothing against those that believe in creationism. However, I believe religion and creationism are closely tied.
Look at countries, such as Iran who are ruled by a religious sect; leave anything related to a certain religion out of our schools.
