atlanta, georgia (cnn) -- a suburban atlanta school board thursday night voted unanimously to allow teachers to introduce students to different views about the origins of life.

the cobb county board of education, the state's second-largest school board, approved the policy change after limited discussion, calling it a "necessary element of providing a balanced education.

the board's vote drew cheers from some and expressions of dismay from others in the packed meeting room.

Crownboy, your proof that evolution is more then just a hypothesis is ?

Also define hypothesis and theory, please.

You seem to be an intelligent being. Evolution cannot and has never been proven in an uncontrolled enviroment.

The testing would have to be done in an uncontrolled enviroment, unlike todays so called evolutionary controlled testing.

After all, evolution does teach that order came from chaos, and not the other way around, because if it did that would signify intellegent design.

We cant have open and honest discussion in a learning enviroment can we, after all that would mean the kids were being taught how to think instead of what to think.

Science is Big Brother.

What part of the bible is most disturbing to you?

for me, it's actually the book of job, which happens to be one of my favourite books.

the way job steadfastly maintains his innocence, and questions god, as well as rebuffs the three comforters (who proffer arguments along the lines of mordern apologist, although in this book they are "bad guys" ) made him my hero of sorts throughout most of the book.

if most people today questioned god the way he did, they would probably be condemned for it.

I find nothing about the Bible disturbing.

What is disturbing, is that most here find the Bibles "in your face", "hide nothing" honesty disturbing.

These things did happen, and the writers, unlike some of todays writers told the truth, and this comes across as something that should be ridiculed or spoken of in jest ?

Maybe the biblical writers should have sugar coated everything, as the Society often did with the " Gods too good make a place like hell " speach. There are times where the truth really sucks, but I'd still rather hear it, then a lie.

There is a whole other Testament that everyone seems to be ignoring, its called the New Testament. Read it, especially the women here that seem to think God hates them, I think you get the direction I'm going in.

This is the perfect example of what orginized religion does to good peoples minds, maybe if more of you hadnt been lazy to the point of allowing yourselves to be spoon fed all that you believed about God, and had actually spent some time researching his word on your own, you would have never gotten to the point of hating Him, or no longer believing.

Just one quick note, can anyone here explain to us what biblical slavery really was ? Any hands ?

Please stop adding your own modern meaning into written history, biblical slavery wasnt like the evil of modern day black slaves, now that was truely horrible.

Anyone ?

Oh and Quotes, stop attributing mans traditions, which by the way Christ spoke against, to it being one of Gods rules or laws.

Try reading the original Hebrew, instead of todays versions of the Bible, why you might ask ?

Example, original hebrew speaks of dragons (dinosaurs) roaming the earth, and even flying dragons (dinosaurs), behomoths (dinosaurs) with tails the size of cedar trees, yet our evolutionist revision gives us, hippos, birds and crocodiles. Hell, its always easier to just fit in, and be liked by everyone, and I see one big love fest going on here.

Its cool to believe in nothing, hell, then your not held accountable for the damage you do to others as you walk through your selfish little life.

When was the last time any of you did anything for someone unselfishly, as a missionary does. Laid your lives on the line for an unknown person, or tried to make a difference. Until you do, your humanist philosophies mean nothing but self soothing talk, sounds selfish eh ?
