What should public schools teach our children about sex? It can be a complex question, especially when dealing with morals, social norms, pop culture, hormones and health. When students sit down for their sex education, should teachers embrace an abstinence-only policy?

The Bible Says "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultry"
And the Bible is a load of crap
So don't bring that into the argument.

Acting like a little kid
Evolution is crap, so don't bring that here either.
Doesn't that sound childish? When you decide to grow up, come back and talk.

At least we have evidence of evolution!!!
Oh well, not that it's in any way related to sex-ed . People need to quit using the Bible to argue secular issues, and that's the point I was trying to make.

This isn't an evo vs bible debate
Look, evolution is as much of a religion as Christianity. They both take a TON of faith to believe them. So, using evolution as a non- religious view is totally preposterous. Depending on how you interpret much of the "evidence" put forward by both sides, it could go either way. Therefore, telling me to leave the Bible out of this is like me telling you to leave science out of this. I don't mean that to imply that science doesn't back creation, because it does just as much as evolution. The difference is, creation has the Bible and science; while evolution has only science. And science goes through a major change every 10 or 20 years, the bible doesn't. Lets leave comments like yours out of here and let people put forward their opinions with no restrictions.
Ok. Now lets get back to the sex-ed discussion.

You don't know your science well enough.
"Look, evolution is as much of a religion as Christianity. They both take a TON of faith to believe them"
Other than the faith that your senses are not lying to you and to every other person who's around you, science does not require faith. It doesn't require faith to accept things when you have solid repeatable evidence that is reliable. The bible does not have reliable evidence. It's not a credible source.
"I don't mean that to imply that science doesn't back creation, because it does just as much as evolution. The difference is, creation has the Bible and science; while evolution has only science."
Science does not back creation. It shows different dates for the age of the universe for one. It also gives ways that things could have originated in ways that do not require a god at all. The bible is only consistent in two things. It's contradictory constantly switching back and forth between what happened. It's also lacking evidence that jesus even existed as well as getting dates wrong. It was also written a minimum of 50 years after the events it describes. This is exactly why creationism and it's counterpart intelligent design are not allowed to be taught in schools as science.

worng address
Look, this is not where you should be posting your beliefs. If you want to talk to a wall then go right ahead. Because this forum is about sex-ed. Not evolution vs creation. Take your comments elsewhere. (yes, i realize my original comment was asking for a response like yours, and i'm sorry.)
Again, lets get back to the sex-ed discussion.
