but it doesn't help matters when he says


he's basically saying that there isn't one, but it would be nice to believe that there is.

which is why people question it now. why 'teach' it in schools when really it's not much different to believing that there really 'was' such thing as Giants, beanstalks and golden eggs?

now you're going to tell me that the Giants, beanstalks and golden eggs was just a story.
Except they don't teach it in schools ,they teach about religion in schools ,there is a huge difference between learning about a religion and worshiping within a particular religions beliefs.
