by metric on 2005-01-14 11:40:28Creationism fails the Lemon test established by the Supreme Court in Lemov vs. Kurtzman: Under the Lemon test, a government-sponsored message violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment if: (1) it does not have a secular purpose, (2) its principal or primary effect advances or inhibits religion, or (3) it creates an excessive entanglement of the government with religion. -

by anonymous on 2007-02-01 13:54:04Civilization is usally defined as a degree of specialization of work leading to the development of small cities and specialized interaction and involvement between towns. Religion intrinsically means some sort of specialized labor and practices. But cetainly writing, house building, control of fire, and tool fabricating are precursors of higher possibilities for specialized labour and inter-town relationships. Although some religions claim that writing and even words, and fire, are creations of some other high-power or god. The first sons of jewish religion fathers, Adam and Eve, were one a shepard (the good one, since old jews were mainly shepards), and the bad one was an agriculture. But the next generation already had a black smith and He and Eve had three children named in Genesis: Cain, Abel, and Seth (Seth after the murdering of Abel). Genesis states that Cain was a tiller of the land while his younger brother Abel was a shepherd, and that one day they both offered a sacrifice to God, Cain offering fruit and grain, and Abel offering the fat, fatlings, or milk as Josephus has it (the possible renderings of the consonantal Hebrew) from the firstborn of his flock. For an unspecified reason, God favors Abel's offering, and subsequently Cain murders Abel, for another unspecified reason, often assumed simply to be jealousy over God's favoritism. Cain goes to wander the world and has children, and Seth is the founder of the chosen jewish lineage.
