Wow. This thread has found its way to the dumpster. Are people even trying to debate the subject anymore? All I see is a huge epeen battle.
To the point... Everybody should look up Bobby Henderson's letter to the Kansas State Board of Education. In a somewhat humorous fashion, he gave a great reason why creationist stories should be left out of science class. Due to language in the 1st amendment of the U.S. Constitution, public schools may not favor any religion over another. Because every religion has a slightly different creation story/interpretation, creationism must be left out of science classes in public schools. It would be impossible to give each one equal time greater than zero.
People may "believe" in evolution as if it were a religion, but the theory of evolution is not the product of a recognized religious group. Therefore, by law, it may be given as much class time as the school is willing. Because of this and the fact that evolution is our best explanation as to where biodiversity comes from, it is the only viable topic for today’s biology lessons. Of course, creation stories don’t have to be “expelled” from schools altogether. Schools have mythology and theology classes that can accommodate them.
Oh yeah, don’t forget that evolution does not remove possibility of the existence of one or more Gods. Nor does it explain (a)biogenesis. This is only a debate because people get butthurt when something contradicts a fable in the Old Testament; the same fable that contradicts itself in the first few pages of... itself.
I think sample tests and test banks are the best way to prepare just before a test. They are no substitute for truly understanding the material, but I always feel more confident if I can see the information presented in a testing environment.
If you know which test bank your test comes from and you study that specific test bank, then you are probably "cheating." On the other hand, is a professor who just copies or borrows a test a cheater too?
I live in Reno, NV. Open containers aren't allowed on the street, so people "pre-game" by tossing back a few (usually shots of hard stuff) before they head out. I really wonder why open containers were outlawed in the first place. It sure hasn't put a stop to public drunkenness...
Of course nobody "needs" a rotating rack full of guns. Most people I know, myself included, who shoot regularly, own more guns than are "necessary" and we need a safe place to keep them. I won't deny that there are total crazies out there, but some of us just like the sport of shooting. I suggest everyone try it at least once. Alway be safe and remember that you are responsible for anything that gun does when it is in your hand.

P.S. Miss Minnesota is the most attractive!
