World history assignment about Earth's creation, Christianity frustrates parents of Oklahoma high school

On the assignment sheet, students were asked to answer the overall research question about how the world began. Students were also asked to ponder the following questions:

• How did the world start?
• Who started it?
• When did evil start or did it always exist?
• Are people inherently good or evil or neither?
• What is morality?
• What is religion?
• What is Christianity?
• What does it mean to be a Christian?
• Is God real?
• Is Satan real?

“I don't care what anyone says,” Gray said. “If you start out with, ‘How was the world started and then who started it,’ that implies it wasn't science [and] that it was an entity, a person, a being.”
