The Pledge of Allegiance - Under God Explained, Red Skelton

A church official says the clergyman credited with helping to push Congress to insert the phrase "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance has died in Alexandria, Pa. The Rev. George M. Docherty was 97.

Nancy Taylor, historian for the Huntingdon Presbyterian Church, says Docherty died on Thanksgiving at his home in Alexandria, with his wife, Sue, by his side.

Docherty delivered a sermon saying the pledge should acknowledge God in 1952 at Washington's New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, just blocks from the White House.

On Feb. 7, 1954, he delivered it again after learning that President Dwight Eisenhower would be at the church.

Congress inserted the words a few months later.

@NymRoddd "Creationism is proven truth"

Prove it with facts. You can't, nobody can.

@originaLkomatoast @BuckWilliams17 Oh My God...Have you... wait no you wouldn't have wasted your time to go and read or watch something explaining the big bang theory. Instead you just concocted your own concept with logical problems and figured it was the same thing scientists thought.

1st law of thermodynamics energy can not be created nor destroyed.

We made nukes using E=mc^2

Matter could then theoretically be created through M=E/c^2

Energy takes no space.

Matter from E.

@originaLkomatoast then where is God from? Did you just disprove your own theory?

@BuckWilliams17

True.

If the big bang theory were true, what two things collided to make the bang happen and where did they come from?

Out of a vast endless void of absolute nothingness two things (large enough to make the entire universe) on a collision course collided.

What are the odds?

The big bang theory doesn't hold water, it's a physical impossibility for something to become from nothing.

Somebody had to lite the fuze.

@NymRoddd You want fact, I'll give it to you. Science states that for an object to be, it has to have substance: molecules and atoms. Our universe and everything in it has that substance. The question at hand is, where did the original substance come from? It had to come from somewhere. It couldn't just be. Even if you say it came from somewhere else, that substance also had to come from somewhere originally. And that would require a supernatural act. Someone to say, "Let there be..."

Wow typical creationist logic. Ok, what has creationism done scientificly to emprove are world, what scientific invancments has creationism made? NOTHING! Creationism told us nothing about AIDS and how it works that was figured out though understanding evolution! If we still went along with old world theology, we would still be in the dark ages! To reject evolution would me we would have to reject all scientific invancements form the 20th centory all for religious authority!!
