Absolutely! Those of you hiding behind ridiculous fictional names will be found out on the ‘fictional’ day of judgement. As I have said before , I would rather live as though there is a god and find out there isn’t, than live as there is no god and find out there is. Call me whatever you like, make fun of my faith, it does not matter to me. As a matter of fact , Jesus said we would be mocked for our belief. It is a badge of honor to serve and defend him. I bid all of you farewell. It’s senseless and a waste of time to argue.

Yep, proudly so . It’s amazing to me how all of you “pots” are calling the kettle black. Kind of like the political ads on TV by the liberals. They have no achievements to run on, so they use personal attacks. They’re not working for them either. Nuff said. Ta ta!

I totally disagree with your “theory”. I am not going to continue in this futile debate. I do send my regrets.

Mabel, in science “theory” means a well-corroborated explanation of a class of phenomena that has been extensively tested in laboratory and field and that has passed those tests. It does not mean “guess” or “conjecture.” It’s the strongest term one can use for an explanation in science. Theories explain sets of facts. Think about the germ “theory” of disease, the heliocentric “theory” of the solar system, and the atomic “theory” of matter. That’s the sense in which evolution is a “theory.” It’s not a guess, but (contrary to what Answers in Genesis or your pastor might falsely claim) the modern theory of biological evolution is a powerfully corroborated scientific explanation of the diversity of life on earth.

All things good Mabel? Injecting ancient primitive superstition into a science class?? You call that good?

Sorry Mabel Weller, John didn’t get “caught up in the middle” of anything. He brought this all on himself (with the help of bad counsel.) But, you go girl for another 60 years with your kind of thinking. Apparently you’ve made it this far with your “head in the sand.”

Not only is your comment cryptic but it doesn’t have much substance to add to the conversation.

But in trying to sort out your thoughts – John Freshwater had 38 days to put on a defense in an administrative hearing.

The actual federal case never really got off the ground.

If you’re unhappy about how John Freshwater was treated in the media well, I don’t know what to tell you. John Freshwater ran to Fox News first. He left local media out of the dialogue. Dave Daubenmire got the media circus started so that tells you right there, how things were going to pan out.

Most of the things published about John Freshwater were of public documentation. Anyone interviewed added credence to what was already documented as fact.

If you’re unhappy about his treatment, talk it over with John Freshwater.

Mirian St. Jean, I don’t think they have to pull his teaching certificate. His teaching career is probably over unless he finds to a church based school that will hire him. Even though the school board’s insurance company payed for the settlement, Freshwater payed dearly and probably is now deeply in debt. Also, the Dennis family probably wouldn’t have seen a dime from Freshwater if the courts ruled against him. I also doubt Hamilton, his attorney, made out from this case. Considering all the time he spent on this case, and the loss of other potential paying clients he would have had if it wasn’t working on this case. But, he too could have minimized his loses by explaining to Freshwater he was likely to lose the case and refused to go forward and recommended to Freshwater that he find another attorney. I just wonder how much Freshwater’s chuch and its members lost supporting him, money that could have gone to support families in need during this depression. Considering everything, the one’s who tried to press their religion on others payed in the end, but not enough in my opinion and I have no sympathy for them.
