The clip mentioned "Dayton" but not a state. There are several Daytons in the Bible Belt but I'm voting for Dayton, TX, northeast of Houston.

The teacher seemed like he was all over the place - or that he feared for his job if he really said what he thought of the students' approach to the subject. He almost appeared to be apologizing for "giving evolution a fair shake."
The really sad thing is that there is so much to the study of evolution that doesn't have squat to do with creation theory, but with adaptation of species to their surroundings. It would be a more effective presentation of evolution to remove it from the "evolution vs. creation" debate to a focus on what effect adaptions that are occurring even now have on our lives. For example, what the theory of evolution means to the development - or failure - of antibiotics. How evolution affects pest control, agriculture, diagnosis of disease, etc.

"I am not trying to disprove the existence of God. I merely wish to have a conversation with him. And find out how he did it."-Albert Einstein.
"The Bible says God created man in his own image. But it doesn't say how he went about it. And besides, who knows what God looks like?"-My Pops.
I feel sorry for that teacher. I sensed that he would love to tell those kids what he really thinks, but is afraid his career would end if he did.
Lots of curious statements in that video. Curious and full of sad forbodings, that is.

Oh, and one more quote. Don't recall who said it, no one famous, it might have been someone in the old neighborhood. Anyways, here goes;
"If God created man in his image, then God would look something like you. And THAT'S a hellluva note, 'cuz you're one ugly son of a bitch."

Probably another bad translation, He created man as he imagined man should look.

At first. But later on, when man was trying to build temples to reach the heavens above, God changed folks so they could not communicate. I know, it's all a mistery to me too. None of us were born then so who are we to argue either way.

"Oh, Father high in Heaven, smile down upon your son, who's busy with his money games, his women and his guns. Oh, Jesus save me....
And the unsung Western Hero killed and Indian or three, and made his name in Hollywood to set the White Man free.
If Jesus saves, well then, he'd better save himself, from the gory glory seekers who use his name in death.
I saw him in the city, and on the mountains of the Moon. His cross was rather bloody-he could hardly roll his stone."
"So, I asked this God a question, and by way of firm reply,
He said; I'm not the kind of God you wind up on Sundays........"
Guess what I was listeng to as I ate breakfast this morning?

I hoped you brushed your teeth afterwards to get rid of your stinky Locomotive Breath.

I saw Jethro Tull three times. Each time someone in the audience was yelling "Locomotive Breath." Ian Anderson had an amazing stage presence - he was acrobatic as he pranced around on the tops of the speakers. He also had his signature one legged stance when playing the flute. One time I saw them, the opening act was Cheap Trick. They were OK but pretty one dimensional as a straight ahead hard rock band. Jethro Tull brought in elements of folk, classical and baroque. When the band wanted to rock, however (such as answering the call for Locomotive Breath) they blew Cheap Trick's sound away. Most definitely one of the best live acts I have seen.
Somehow, I get the feeling they are not creationists.
Regards,
D-Ray
