Sisters Biology Teacher, Kris Helphinstine, Fired: some facts

A lot of misinformation has been passed around concerning the firing of biology teacher Kris Helphinstine of Oregon. Here is some information that may clear some misunderstandings:

1. The Bible was never referenced in class, or in school, for that matter.
2. Creationism was never taught.
3. Accurate scientific information was presented that posed challenges for a scientific theory. The theory in questions is the biological Theory of Evolution.
4. No laws were broken.
   
5. He introduced supplemental material, as do most teachers, that helped explain certain subject-matter content. He cited sources of the information. The sources were included so students could identify the bias (as there is bias in everything written by men).

Hopefully this will clear the air a bit.

The Nature of Man

Verso,
One thing I think would be great to discuss is the condition, or nature, of man without God's grace. I will edit this post and put in some verses that discuss discuss this.

Here are a few:

(Genesis 6:5) The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

(Genesis 8:21) And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.

(Isaiah 53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
