"You actually hear this? That is frightening." Unfortunately yes, and many other rather extreme statements. If you want a real eye-opening experience into extreme religion, go to the 'Institute for Creation Research' or 'Answers in Genesis' websites and read some of their articles. Then read the TalkOrigins website afterwards if you find yourself muddled in anyway by all the misinterpretations of scientific theory.
If you want a REAL scare, try these links out: (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0042/0042_01.asp or http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1051/1051_01.asp). Keep your hands away from your hair or you will be bald very quickly. So you don't look anything like Mrs Henn do you?
Sorry whoever is moderating this for the off topic post. I promise not to dwell on the issue, but it is an issue for me.
I am involved in the teaching process. I do try to respect all of my student's views, because I believe the best way for them to acheive a proper understanding of science is for them to open their minds and that won't happen if they have the mindset that their teacher is belittling them. But I do not tolerate extremism either. I don't react well to anyone telling me I am going to hell for teaching the Big Bang or evolution.
"Blackfoot would be proud but I notice he has been avoiding this thread like the plague." I hope I didn't say or do anything to make him uncomfortable about posting here. I hope you know Blackfoot that I am just trying to work my way through all the murk in my head. I do appreciate your advice and perspective.
