Class again

I am once again taking classes working toward my goal of being a high school teacher. Honestly every time I write, discuss, or think about becoming a teacher, I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I am in my last semester at NOVA working on my application to Mason.
I am studying to be a earth science teacher, and am currently working on my earth science endorsement. I have enrolled for two major classes, and one field studies class to complete the academic requirements for said endorsement.
I do wonder at one thing though, why in the world am I trying to be a science teacher? I am a die hard Christian, I strongly (and with good science) believe that God created the world, and all science points to Him. This is not what I am learning in my science classes. In fact, all my science classes are trying as hard as they can to shut me down. This is so severe that I am learning what modern (often incorrect) science thinks about origins and dates just so I can pass the class.
I am learning a great deal about geosystems and am truly fascinated by the subject. There is so much that we know now that we never have known before. I am just trying to fight my way upstream intellectually. A good analogy would be the lemming that realized the cliff was deadly, and then tried to go back in the face of all the other lemmings.
So here's to another semester working to obtain my theme, "Bearded Phantom - Perpetual Student working to get another degree so he can be perpetually in the field of education."
