I'd like to try to clear up one (among several) misconceptions in Jaren Kuchta's letter, "Bible doesn't promote slavery, abortion rights, "While attempting to refute Shane Krouse's column, "Bible supports abortion rights," (SN 8/10), which looked for pro-slavery and pro-abortion ideas within Scripture, Kuchta labeled scientific descriptions of evolution and of the creation of the universe as "just theories," which "cannot be proven." I think Kuchta was implying that as mere unprovable "theories," they should be distinguished from scientific fact and therefore dismissed.

The United States may be the land of opportunity, but it is very hard to benefit from it with restrictions on immigration.
This is in response to "Larrowe column shows little change from 1979," (SN 8/7). As a 1983 engineering graduate, I used to read Lash Larrowe religiously.
Reprinted from the Nov. 6, 1981 edition of The State News I'm in my office and just as this student walks in, the phone rings.
As some Christians deny scientific evidence, which can be proven, I will fight them with their own book of knowledge.
As the first step on the path of education, elementary school serves an important purpose. From kindergarten to fifth grade, we learn the basics of math, English and science.
I stumbled last week into two of the more interesting conversations I've had on education. With the school year beginning and debate revving over President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, these talks struck me as getting down to the rub about our future.
