So by this reasoning, surely you must be teaching your children the creation myths (er, sorry... facts) of ancient Sumeria, and the Greeks and Romans, Indians, etc. alongside Christian creationism, and the scientific theory of evolution, and then letting them make up their own minds, right? Because wouldn't you be some kind of hypocrite if you are trying to foist your beliefs on your children by only teaching them about Christian creationism and evolution and letting them make up their own mind based on incomplete information?[/quote]

Love how it's always about "Christian hypocrisy" and never about the other Abrahamic faiths which share the same creation stories. Says a lot about this poster.[/quote]

This thread is about Christian creationism. I would be happy to participate in a thread about Muslim (Jewish, Hindu, etc.)hypocrisy, if you would care to start one. As I mentioned, I'm a reform Jew. We learned the creation myths, and we learned not to take them literally. Science and knowledge are very important in my religion. One can believe in both God and science; it's not impossible to reconcile.

It's interesting that the earlier PP asked for someone to answer the above question, but apparently a lot of you couldn't handle my answer and so went straight to the whining. [/quote]

Wow, you make absolutely no sense. First, you say you are a reform Jew who doesn't take the creation stories literally, yet above you are bashing a Christian who said exactly the same thing, i.e., she also doesn't take the creation stories literally. Second, you've apparently ignored all the posts from Christians saying they manage to reconcile science and religion, instead you make your sanctimonious point about how you can do it yourself. Third, there are people in Judaism who DO take the creation stories literally, yet you bash only Christians who take the creation stories literally. And fourth, you look like a total jackass going after that PP for not teaching her kids Sumerian creation stories, because it's pretty obvious you don't teach your own children Sumerian creation stories.

In other words:  WTF is wrong with your thinking processes? For someone who claims to "love" science, you sure aren't comfortable with basic reasoning. And please stop claiming to represent Jews -- you're not doing us any favors![/quote]
I actually have a children's book of myths from around the world (and throughout various periods of history) that I love to read to my kid. Sadly, there aren't any Sumerian myths, but I would happily include those if I could. And of course there are Jews who take the creation myth literally, but they're not reform Jews, so what's your point?

I ran in the last election to be Official Spokesperson of all Jews, but that mensch in Boca won, which is why I don't claim to speak for all the Jews. Maybe next year...[/quote]
