		<description>Thomas&#039; education in a private school is evident in that they apparently didn&#039;t teach him to spell, nor did they teach him the ability to tell reality from imagination.

What ever happened to teaching everything and let the students debate?  Seriously?  So you really want public schools to teach other topics, like say, math; where we can teach everything:  2+2=17, 2+2=83, 2+2=9, 2+2=4 . . .discuss!  Sort out the answers for yourselves!

Shall we teach calculus this way?  Teach several different things, some right, some wrong, and let students sort it out?  How about history:  There was no Jewish holocaust during WW2.  There was a Jewish holocaust during WW2.  Discuss, and decide for yourselves!

Just stay the hell away from my kid&#039;s school, okay?</description>

		<description>well, umm yeah... sounds like fun. what ever happend to teaching everything and allowing the students to have thier own debate? if they are old enough to know what &quot;heterozygotes&quot; is they can form an intellegent discussion. i was taught both creationism (intelligant design) and evoluion in a private school of course, but that is not the issue. 

answer to question 1. 

useing the thoery of expansion and contraction (allowing for multiple big bangs, while keeping true to newtonian science) you can say that matter is niether created or distroyed simply strecthed and compressed. this means even modern dating techniques are limited to this side of the last &quot;big bang.&quot; so we can give all matter (includeing God) the inifinty stamp. and who is to say God isnt created of matter? only those who dont believe he exists, but for the purpose of the question you have to assume he exists, therefore has to be made of matter, this does not mean he is neccessarily tangable. giving a numerical assignment to the age of events on this side of the big bang is not that difficult we just cant do it yet. 

SO, 

X times by the number of explosion retraction events minus the time remaining in this event. 

but can i point you to another prominate scientific thoery &quot;back in the day.&quot; the earth is flat and is supported by turtles on top of turtles. sounding familiar?

- take care</description>
