[QUOTE="Tippy, post: 14653, member: 283"] [b]US schools teaching religious beliefs in science[/b] I think we need to keep science and the various philosophies of creation separate - at least in the public school setting. I don't mind that Creationism is touched upon - but not in science class. Creationism should be mentioned as one of the stories of how mankind got here - as wells as the Greek Myths, the Buddhist way of thought - and all of the other mythological tales. That is fine - because that is a part of the world we live in and to deny children the knowledge isn't doing them any favors. However, if it is NOT science - it should NOT be taught in science class. How does one know the difference? Simple - if one has gone about gathering facts and results and uses them to form an opinion - that is science. On the other hand - if one has an opinion and then goes about gathering selective facts to support it - that is a 'story'. The thing about science is that it is always evolving (no pun intended), but if evidence surfaces tomorrow proving Darwin absolutely wrong - then science will change. However, no matter what evidence is presented - even if it proves Christianity wrong - Christianity will not change. That is why it is called 'faith'. Because you have to make a mental leap in order to believe it. Faith - the believe in things unseen and unproven. Science - the result of things seen and proven. Both have their place. Not competing and not in the same classroom. [/QUOTE]
