physics, and only religious followers can know the truth of that religion;
everyone else has to take it on faith.
Many people believe that physics and religion are entirely separate.

Religion In Public Schools

about. That is what started it all real big.
When complaining, arguing and fighting all started over the silent moment. In

original law said that public school teachers in gr ades 1-6 "shall announce
that a period of silence, not to exceed one minute, shall be observed for
meditation." This law did not work for long, because it still allowed oral
prayer in public high schools. Later in 1981, the Alabama State Senator Donald G.
Holmes successfully passed a bill that included all grades calling it "the
moment of silence" this law s .....

states, they still retained their Shinto beliefs. Second, all Shinto cults
believe in Kami (“the divine”) Individual clans worshipped a single Kami which
was regarded as the principal ancestor of the clan. As t .....

overheard this, and he delivered him out of their hands; he said, "Let us
not kill him" (Genesis 37:21). Joseph is not killed by his brothers, but
sold into Egypt. The Bible states Joseph was sold for twenty pieces of
silver while the Koran does not tell of a specific amount. After Joseph
was sold into Egypt, both accounts tell of how, his brothers had his
