And they can't PROVE either one.

They want you to believe their version on faith but deny us the same courtesy.

I was listening to a kids program we had on for my grandson this morning.

A woman was singing about aliens in a counting lesson.

5 aliens and one went away, 4 aliens left. etc.

It just struck me odd that they would use aliens as a 'tool'?

Anyway, more and more I am being convinced that home schooling is the way to go.
