Piera, I applaud you for having the courage to post about this topic. When I read it I had a feeling you would get the response like the one you received from msortegon. While I do believe in God, I really do not know exactly HOW we came to be on this earth, I was not there and there is no one here now that was there at the time. I do not think there is sufficient evidence to prove one way or the other exactly HOW we came to be (IMHO), so I will continue to read and learn and listen to religious people and scientific people WITH RESPECT! (Isn't that why it is still called the THEORY of evolution?)
I also think you answered msortegon very well without insulting her beliefs in any way, or belittling her. I think she/he could have stated her/his opinion in a much less rude manner.
Thank you for bringing this information into the mainstream.
Bravo, Piera

msortegon: Thank you for your comment! While I do understand your frustration and respect your opinion, I know that many people who believe in evolution also believe in God.

My personal opinion is that having open discussions with children about all beliefs--religious and scientific--is always healthy. This contest seems like a way of opening the door to having a conversation about evolution AND other beliefs as well. Talking about one does not mean we have to negate the other.

This is crazy! We're really beginning to teach our kids this nonsense? How about we begin to teach our children about how God created each and every one of us and that He has a purpose and plan for each of our lives- that He came to give us life abundantly and not that we were once "animals". That is the silliest idea I've ever heard.
