After he taught us the lesson on the big bang, a week later, about 15 students and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes leader (who was also a teacher) confronted him about it. They said that they had been offended by his explanation of the origin of the universe and it's lack of theistic stories. I don't know fully what went on because I had to leave to go to class but I remember that to this day.

Anyways, I don't have kids, I'm only 18 years old and I don't know what I'll do. I mean, it's hard to find someone who shares my beliefs here in Louisiana. Most people want to raise their child in some religion.
