Thanks for the reply, its the best one so far, you actually gave your opinion.
I agree with everything except for number 8 and 14.
8) the federal reserve has too much control to ever be disbanded. It needs more regulation and shouldn't be controlled by a select few individuals as it is now, but in theory it has it's purpose.
14) as for 14, I am hesitant to demean your faith as I was raised a Christian and agree with most of its ethics and morals. But... Creation Science is not a theory, it has never reached that point of Scientific scrutiny.A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method. It is more than faith based it has scientific backing, Basically a theory is the closest thing possible to a proof. Creation Science has not reached that level yet, so it should not be taught.
That's okay. Nobody has to agree with each other 100% of the time. Life (and this forum) would be dull if we did.
Creation Science hasn't been accepted by the "secular" scientific community but there are a lot of really good scientists who believe in Intelligent Design. There are even some non-theists who believe that it makes more sense that the universe was designed rather than simply **poofed** into existence by pure happenstance.
If you ever have a chance (and the time) you ought to read "Darwin's Black Box" by Behe. Great read. You may also be interested in this site: The Institute for Creation Research
As for the Federal Reserve, I don't believe it could be abolished in rapid time but I agree with many of our founders that a Central Bank would be a dangerous thing. Their fears have been realized. Also, Karl Marx (the author of the Communist Manifesto) was FOR a central bank. So you have many of our founders opposing it and a avowed Communist touting its presumed benefits.
