[QUOTE="Tippy, post: 14659, member: 283"] [b]US schools teaching religious beliefs in science[/b] I understand your position but I respectfully disagree. For example - Gallelio was threatened with death from the church if he did not renounce his scientific finding that the earth was round. Throughout history - religion has existed "in spite" of evidence that it is false. I am not saying there is no God. I certainly do not know - and, in fact, I believe in one, but organized religions, like Christianity and Islam have many beliefs that have been proven wrong, by science, and yet they will not accept that and change. Science is different in the sense that it DOES change when the facts change. Scientific theories are adjusted all the time when new data is presented. You are correct - truth is not always derived from evidence. But it is more often derived from evidence than it is from myth. Science gives us the understanding (always progressing) of the universe and how we react to it. Mythology (Christian) gives us a two thousand year old book where sticks turn to snakes and snakes talk, where bad folks become pillars of salt - where people who do not have sex - get pregnant. Because of that - I dont' believe Creationism should be taught in a science class. I would allow it to be taught alongside other religious tenets although. I am not opposed to people believing in whatever faith they choose - I just do not feel that we need to promote those beliefs in public school science classes. That should be reserved for science.
