"Your non belief is also irrelevant."

So it is, at least when it comes to scientific theories. They are, you see, independent of beliefs. An atheist, a Hindu, and a Christian, will come to the same conclusions in science, based on the evidence presented.

Of course, those who have no science education may believe whatever they wish. It's irrelevant to the truth of the matter.

I would not have a school board, none of the members of which have any advanced science training, dictate the curriculum of science classes. That, my friend, was the case in the Dover situation. Not a single school board member had any serious education in any of the sciences past the secondary level.

Science curriculum decisions are one of those areas where religious beliefs are irrelevant. Sorry, but there it is.

I guess you have me confused with someone who tried to make a case for ID being taught in a government facility.

You often seem confused.

A guy who prays to no one, for things that he doesn't believe can happen, in front of others who also don't believe, after basing his whole identity on his non belief,,,is a very confused person.
