"Just because we don't understand thing doesn't mean we should assume it is supernatural in origin."

1. over half of the population believes in a supernatural origin (not a specific supernatural origin, but a supernatural origin).

2. science does not prove a supernatural origin, but it does not disprove it either.

3. in the schools, it is being taught as though science does disprove a supernatural origin.

4. more than half of the population pay the taxes that support the schools that are teaching their children that science disproves the supernatural (even though it does not).

5. the taxpayers are demanding a say in it -- they want science classes to acknowledge -- not that science proves the supernatural, but that science does not disprove the supernatural.

6. that's not asking too much.

7. when science does disprove the supernatural, then the anti-religious should have their way and the tax-paying religious should move on to their own private schools (and pay for both the public and private schools).

8. if science does not disprove the supernatural but insists on teaching as though it does it has, itself, become religion -- not science...

9. ...and if you reversed that and had the religious teaching something that they could not prove as fact (like their own creation account), you would be on the schools like mud on a pig, shutting them down until they stopped teaching what was not fact, but calling it fact -- especially if the issue was of major importance to your life and that of your families.
