Religion should answer the questions: Why are we here? What is our purpose? I believe that all science is a type of religion, and all religion is a type of science. Discovering the world is discovering origin, and in discovering origin we discover our purpose.
Believe it or not, it takes faith to believe in God, and it takes faith to believe in evolution. Creation supposes God, and evolution supposes matter and energy. Both cannot explain the origin of either. Thus it comes to the question that if both cannot seemingly prove their opinion, then why is one more "scientific" than the other? So the brain racking question: If books of mysticism (Harry Potter, for example) and books of evolution can be brought to school, why is the Bible and prayer unacceptable?
Last I checked, some were using the quaint little phrase "separation of church and state." By reading Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists one might get a glimpse of the context of the letter and realize this phrase is not even interpreted correctly and is also not in the Bill of Rights. So it brings me to the intent of the Founding Fathers and what the men of this country died to create. What did they have in mind for this country?
The Founding Fathers were afraid of governmental tyranny and thus the Bill of Rights was set to limit Government, and not the people. The Founding Fathers did not force religion on anyone (as was their fear of government), held prayer meetings in our very own White House and were ardent students of the Bible. So where does the conclusion that the Constitution, being the supreme law of the land, could even remotely convey the idea that public display of religion by citizens is "unacceptable?"
