I'm retarded. Delete this thread please. I can't figure out how to for some reason.

If the common belief is true then what could possibly be wrong with taking it to the extreme?
First off, the reason it's called a "belief" (in the sense of "faith") is that it can not be proven to be "true" (in the sense of "factual"). If it could, it would not be "belief".

If it's true that God exists and he created the universe what harm could there be in teaching it in science class along side evolution or in place of evolution as the fundamentalist suggests?
It isn't science.

Believers believe God created the universe and then label those that act on that belief as fundamentalist extremists. Go figure. At least the fundamentalist is true to his beliefs. The believer waffles by saying they believe God created the universe but that it shouldn't be taught in place of evolution. What's going on in the mind of the believer?
A mainstream theist does not have this much difficulty distinguishing between "faith" and "fact" (to say nothing of "evolution" and "abiogenesis".)
