7. ''Are you saying that the only things that schools can teach are things that are scientifically proven? In that case, you might as well close down the schools, because science is unable to prove anything. And even apart from that, does that mean that you don't teach the history of the Roman Empire, because we only know about it from ancient documents, not scientific proof? Or that the right way to spell "cat" is c-a-t, because it's not been scientifically proven?''

I was using the colloquial sense of "prove," as I think you probably were aware. You seem to be taking a pretty personal tone to this... let's try to keep it civil, please.--[[User:TomMoore|TomMoore]] 13:21, 6 March 2008 (EST)

== Quote Mined ==
It just occured to me Aschlafly that you actually quote mined my comment in the above debate. I said -
"What I am trying to point out is that if there are other avenues (like I stated above with lunchtime bible study (or Koran study even?), school chapel etc) then there is not a need for any classroom prayer of any kind"
To which you replied -
"So your statement that "there is not a need for any classroom prayer of any kind" is a bit like saying "there is not a need for a textbook or a teacher, or for water in a desert."
Not only did just use a small section of what I said, you also took it right out of context.
I thought only liberals/evolutionists did that?
