I agree wholeheartedly with you. Who can look into the eyes of their four legged companions and not see a kind and loving soul in there. Some of the best people I know are of the four legged persuasion. Hooray Wilma! I agree wholeheartedly with you.

Read numbers, a chapter is devoted to counting animal souls. There are other places in the Bible that says animals have souls. I only have to look in the eyes of my dog and 6 cats to tell there is a soul there PS, David C Parsons: you say frogs do not have eternal souls.

Our constitution clearly draws a line between church and state, but like so many other articles of the greatest document ever written, the Bush administration has trampled on our freedoms. I am all for religion, I believe there is a supreme being who caused the universe to come into being but Jesus himself declared separation of church and state with his "render unto Ceaser" answer to the heckler. Our young people are woefully ignorant of even basic history. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, a quote from Georges Santayana was never more true than today. We are repeating the same foolish mistake the Brits, and French made in India, Palestine, north Africa, Egypt and all other countries by their "hegemony and now our own country did in when we meddled in middle eastern hegemony a few decades ago and are now pounding our national treasure and thousands of precious American lives, not to mention all the wasted Iraqi lives . today’s students need to spend more class time studying history rather than peddling religion.

David Parsons, it is exactly the narrow minded, ethnocentric attitude of you and your ilk that are a major part of the problem in this country. Why is it that so many Christian fundamentalist believe that humankind is the ultimate creature on this planet. Humans are the only animals that kill wantonly. Christians make up but a third of the world's population. The other 66% are comprised of people of different faiths. And faith is the key word here. Your belief in creationism is just that, a belief. And any belief requires a leap of faith to gain acceptance. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is just that, a scientific theory, tested and found to be provable. It is disingenuous to stick an "ism" at the end of Darwin. Darwin's theory is not a belief, it is a science. You talk of a loving Creator who is going to send those of us who question YOUR belief system to eternal damnation. Then, sir, we must be speaking of a different entity here. Is it a loving God or a vengeful tyrant? You also talk of a soul being something that only humans possess. Says who? I think it is pretty presumptive of people of your persuasion to put themselves above the rest of God's creatures. Your's is not the only religion out there, and many, if not most hold the creatures of the earth, God's creations, in higher esteem than you do. By the way Mr Parsons, please don't try to spam this blog any more. If you want to peddle your science fiction book about creation please do so elsewhere. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes. "If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." Will Rodgers. I sure as hell don't want to end up where you're going. C.

Things with facts supporting them should be valued higher educationally than those without any supporting facts. This is common sense. Situations like these must be approached with care (as the professor did) so that all sides are appeased. I agree with this article wholly.
