It might be from a real text book but, it must be from a Parochial school. Below that they are asking to read Peter 3:5. Can’t think of any Public school that would ask klids to read the Bible. I’m sure all Parochial schools align themselves with what they can interpret from the Bible…No surprise there ---

Long term there is going to be less and less that cannot be explained. > **[God of the gaps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps)** > > "God of the gaps" is a theological concept that emerged in the 19th century and revolves around the idea that gaps in scientific understanding are regarded as indications of the existence of God. This perspective has its origins in the observation that some individuals, often with religious inclinations, point to areas where science falls short in explaining natural phenomena as opportunities to insert the presence of a divine creator. The term itself was coined in response to this tendency How... > **God of the gaps** is a type of [theological](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology) perspective in which gaps in [scientific](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science) knowledge are taken to be evidence or proof of [God’s existence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existence_of_God). The term was invented by [Christian](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity) [theologians](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology) not to discredit [theism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theism) but rather to point out the fallacy of relying on [teleological arguments](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleological_argument) for God’s existence.[[1]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps#cite_note-1) Nonetheless, in current usage, it refers to a specific form of the [argument from ignorance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance) fallacy > However, even if it can be explained, doesn’t mean it can’t be contributed to the ‘creator’ ![http://i.imgur.com/5RpUN.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/d/4/d418ee19bba820c9fc684a43ed61a3676b1f57b0.jpeg) The world of “beliefs” will never be ruled out by logic. It’s in our nature to believe in things, whether religious or daily. Hell, every single one of us believes we are right about things we think, otherwise we wouldnt be thinking or doing them. ---

My father was a pastor for a while so I can tell you alot of stuff when it comes to the Bible, creationism and what not. I think the books you posted were from private Christian schools that stricly teach “God created everything end of story”. Theres no way in hell that those were from public schools since kids cant get in trouble from having a bible in schools nowadays. And whoever said the comment about the south is pretty correct. Alot of southern schools go by the good book instead of teaching evolutionism. My opinions differ alot from my parents but I’ve learned a decent amount. Ive seen some crazy ass, hyprocitacal, pointing fingers Christians over the years…Its rather concerning. ---

I dont believe anything unless it slaps me in the face. If I can see a giant boney structure with big fuckin teeth, I believe it. If you want to call it a dinosaur I guess I will to. If “God” came over and punched me in the dick with a sticker on his robe that says “Hello, My name is GOD” and then proved to be really bad ass and made something pop out of thin air however I requested it, I will believe in that too. Until then, I am 99% apart of the 15% and 1% stuck between the other two choices. We live in something, and I can see all kinds of things around me. Call it a universe, or whatever you want. I don’t need to believe in that, I KNOW that because its real and right now. The thing that gets me and is the reason for that 1% left is where is the line drawn for whats “real”. Logically my universe and its contents are contained in something, which is contained in something else, …… And even if there is a God looking down at the universe and watching us all do what we do, WHERE IS HE/SHE/IT THEN??? And whats above that? Where does it end? With that being said, I don’t believe in any religious stuff to the point I can use those beliefs to cope with my life. I choose to try to ignore things in my life I cant control and focus on what I can to keep me happy for the moments. Death is my 2nd most fear, uncertainty of “death” is the 1st. ---
