Because public schools are financed by public tax payers who expect science to be taught in science classes. It really comes down to that. > > Isn't evolution like 150-200 years old?

My point is that in a class on the constitution, you study 215 years of constitutional thought. In a class on the Bible, you'd study the 4000 years of biblical interpretations. Yet in biology, you want to devalue the centuries of core scientific thought? > If the religion has differnet tenets than the religion viewpoints, how > could > it not be true? I assume you mean if SCIENCE has different tenets.....but even so, if your faith contradicts what science teaches.....you can always choose to ignore it. But you are ignoring science, and science is taught in science classes. Period. Don't force me to ignore it because you want to. > > Just in case you didn't know, the earth is flat... hold on, you're an > idiot > for believing that it's round. See, here's the beauty: Science can prove that the earth is round....so i don't have to "believe" anything. > > It's all relative, dude.

My tax dollars are paying for public schools. They take core classes, one of which will cover biological sciences. How can you be comfortable with the thought of science teachers preaching faith in their classrooms? Their faith might not match yours! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:189578 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
