[QUOTE="Tippy, post: 14661, member: 283"] [b]US schools teaching religious beliefs in science[/b] What, exactly, has been found to be "true"? I understand that specific historical rulers from the Bible - and natural events, have been documented by other historians - but I don't believe any of the supernatural things have ever been proven. Yet it is those supernatural aspects that make it a religion. I can't follow your line of reasoning here. Science is not born of religion - it was born 'despite' religion. Science, by its very nature is anti-religious. I don't believe that statement has any basis at all in fact. As people become MORE educated - they become LESS religious. Because religion relies on a basis of superstition to survive - the more one knows - the less superstitious they are. That fact is evident in countries with very little education - and high superstition value. A major tenet of religion is the need to under-educate and subjucate Consider the strength of Sharia Law and the need to repress women. Forbid them to learn. Even today - in many patrilineal religions (Christianity included) men are encouraged to lead a household and women are taught to be submissive. I certainly do not mean to be arrogant. I am far from arrogant. I am simply using the word that applies here. Look at the definition: [i]Myth - A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society: the myth of Eros and Psyche; a creation myth. Such stories considered as a group: the realm of myth. [/i] I hope you now understand that I was not belittling you - or anyone who holds certain beliefs. I am just using the terminology that I think is appropos. [/QUOTE]
