What separation of church and state? Is that in the Constitution? Could you tell me where? Also, could you tell me where education funded by federal tax dollars is found in the Constitution?

I don't know what a "liberal" education. I never coined the term. You tell ME what it is. I also don't know what a "non-liberal" education is. I also never used that term. All I stated was that I don't know any of any schools that teach Creationism as a science. If you would like to tell me...

I must admit that I am an American and have never met or seen any such teachers, either. I'm assuming that they generally teach at Christian private schools. Luckily, you can choose whether you send your child to one of these. I also agree with you about Dawkins.

I am sure there are many reasons why a person may not want to say something. Some, like me, may not want celebrity. I want people to read and connect with what I have to say, but I do not want anyone to know who I am. I am not comfortable around most people. I enjoy my solitude. That is what...

Do I have to have a favorite? I could tell you which one I dislike the least. ;)

It's not plagiarism, but it's not exactly creative, either. Now, wouldn't you rather be more creative? :whistling:

I have to agree with you. I also found the characters to be one-dimensional and the main character's reactions to events baffling. There is an older book about a Jesuit priest and an alien encounter written by James Blish, called A Case of Conscience, which I have heard was better. I haven't...
