religion begins where science ends.

Well, I understand, I think what you are saying, but I think it would be more than a semantic disagreement if I were to say that I think that Faith can start at the beginning.

I don't think it has to start somewhere when we run out of science.

Just the opposite. Science can't go far enough. Science is "limited" to the material universe. It takes a "faith" in cause and effect to even understand the scientific method. I'm not saying faith has no role in the material world, only that a belief in God in not a prerequisite for an acceptance of science. And that science will never be able to "prove" the existence of God. Even ID, which exists as an observation of information provided by scientific research, cannot be embraced without a faith in God. ID simply reinforces that faith. Our real problem occurs because science is an integral part of school curriculum while religion is not allowed through the door. The President did not say that ID should be taught in science classes as some type of alternative science, but that it belongs in school curricula. Why should we not teach religion in school? We are not establishing a religion by merely exposing people to various religious thoughts, philosophies, and groups.
