No easy answer
Problems are often everyday occurrences we simply learn to cope, dealing with them is independently up to each of us. However there are many problems in the world today that no matter how long ago they happened, are still effecting our society today. In Biology class we are learning about the cell, the "basic" unit of life. Until the advancement of science made it possible to see such microscopic cells, man never knew the cell existed at all. Before this information, people were convinced by their religious views that we were all indeed "formed by the hand of god" in the seven days he created earth. Once it was known that there were in fact organisms small enough to exist and survive when the planet was still very young, scientists started to explore other ideas. They pondered the thought of a gigantic "mistake" called the Big Bang theory and how it might have created all life as we know it. This theory is now the best scientific answer for our existence and as such is being taught in public school to all children . Unfortunately, those who have children belonging to religious backgrounds now have many question to answer. As what they are being taught in school is contradicting everything they have been taught by their families and churches. It appears once more we have a situation where it is the church vs. the scientific community, and sadly there is no cut and dry answer to the issue.
