This is what my friends and I do in our spare time..
I'm personally trying to get this bull removed from our schools, by whatever means possible. Written by my friend Chris and I. I pledge no allegiance to the flag of the Divided States of Embarrassment, and to the religion that stole the nation, 300 million people, under Fox News, with intolerance and bigotry for all. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/note.php...49&comments http://the-fragged-mind.blogspot.com/2009/...allegiance.html -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

Uh-huh. Okay. Pretty much through here.
Got anything for my "Three, okay, if you agree (or, I think you do?) that the pledge shouldn't be in schools... Do you want to actually help improve my argument/think up one of your own, so we actually get somewhere instead of internet-fighting each other, taking up a crapton of time and accomplishing nothing?" bit? -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
