One of my earliest memories of playing with my friends when I was little was going to church with them, but I was not listening to the prayers being said, or the excerpts from the bible, I was drawing. Those were the only times I have ever been to church and I can now say that I am very opinionated about religion. I do not believe in any religion, but prefer to make my own so call religion or belief system, based on what I truly believe. I can easily see how people believe the stories from the bible, probably from just growing up hearing them and being told what the correct thing to believe in is.
In the Book of Genesis, the word choice again tells you that this is the way that it is and the only way because “it was so” and “God saw that it was good.” It also states that men were superior to women (“…because she was taken out of Man”) and that it is a “man and his wife,” never a woman and her husband. I believe that it is this book that kept women back so much throughout history. In terms of the teaching of evolution, it is unjust for a judge to base an entire court case on a book from the bible in a country where we try to separate church from state. In my opinion, the judge needed to thoroughly listen to both sides and not make his decisions around his beliefs, but in the beliefs of everyone in the state.
