Re: Emily & teaching Science, or not

Wow, they told me the dinosaurs existed, but they were pre-Noah's  flood.  I 
never did understand why Noah would take 2 of every other animal  onto the 
boat, but not dinosaurs.  I always wondered what Noah had against  dinosaurs.
 
After 8th grade, I insisted on going to public school.  My parents  wanted to 
send me to a religious academy, but I told them that I needed a real  
education and I didn't want to be beat over the head with a Bible all day  anymore.
 
[Hope this doesn't offend anyone -- I never minced words with my parents  
when discussing religion.]

Hi Eva  & Dave,
Know where you are coming from.  Spent part of my mispent  youth in lutheran
schools, the missouri synod kind.  Tried to talk to  the pastor about
dinosaurs etc. and was told that if I didn't drop the  subject I would be
ex-communicated.  Was 14 at the time, and kinda  told him to shove it, that
I'd take my chances.  My folks weren't too  happy about it, so I left home
and have beenon my own ever since.  I  guess I could use that as a reason I'm
the way I  am.
