Creationism for my child’s teacher

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

This booklet (current version) was written by Pastor Tim Harlow for parents to give to their childrens’ teachers. Here’s an excerpt from the introduction:

as a teacher, you are bound to teach evolution. That is not your fault: it is simply the reality and I do understand that fact. I just want to try to keep you open to the idea that my child, and probably most children in your classroom, do not believe that “theory.” I am asking you to teach (or continue to teach) evolution as just that - a “theory,” and keep your classroom open to other theories of the origin of the world.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Because tomorrow is Thanksgiving, Helen has graciously allowed me to post a day early.

THANK YOU to my wife for loving me no matter what. I know I’m a jerk when I get tired or when I get an idea in my head of how things should be. But I am so proud of you! And I know I would not be half the man I am today if it weren’t for you.

THANK YOU to my son for putting up with me, and even though I’m such a fart sometimes, we’re still buds and you still love me. And now that you’re getting ready for college I am grateful that you are ready to go. I know I kid about that, but I’m grateful that you’re ready, not that you’re going. Your leaving makes me sad. Always remember that I am incredibly proud of you and I can hardly wait to see the man my son turns into.

I should have posted this a few weeks ago…

I’m delighted to have Siamang now posting some of the blog entries on here. When I started reading this blog in February, one of the first things that caught my attention and impressed me a lot was the respectful interaction between Siamang and Jim in the comments section. Siamang is one of the people who has helped make friendly dialog between Christians and atheists a reality here.
