Genesis: Creation vs. Evolution

I have heard this verse before, but it has never struck me like it does now. Knowing that this was used as evidence in a court case makes me see this very differently. I believe that people should have religious freedom, and that what is taught in the classroom should not effect generations of relegious beliefs. They are both merely theories anyway. No one can prove anything from the book of Genesis or from the theory of Evolution. The seperation of church and state is important. Since schools are run by the state, the church should not have a say in what is or is not taught in the education process. Currently, it is hard for me to say whether or not I fully believe in the 6 days of labor that God took upon himself to create the world. Which brings me to another point. Young adults should be able to form their own opinion about what they do and do not accept or believe in. I think that, in a compromise, both views should be studied in classrooms so that there is no descrimination between evolution and creation.

Another thing that I have thought about from reading this verse from the bible is specifically about the creation of man and woman. Just because woman was created out of man does not make her any lesser. People would not exist without both parts of creation. The one thing that I think is a true statement is the fact that when everything was done, and the world was populated, God sat back and saw that it was good. I think, despite the many flaws, our world is good.

After thoughts:
After reading the Genesis 3, I have noticed that it is written in old English style. Although this can seem more challenging, it is all so simple. I think that was one of the goals when the book of Genesis was written; to be an easy read so that anyone of any age can understand it. Genesis 3 also depicts more of the Bible's view on women. "He shall rule over thee", Genesis 3:16 describes how women are the lesser part of creation, which is simply not true. For a document to be used in court, I believe that it has to be 100% fact, but the theory of creation is'nt because in todays modern world a woman can have just as much power as men.
