But it's okay to teach naturalism is science class? naturalism is an extension of atheism - a religion based on faith. Why is it okay to teach atheism-based speculative science?

Where did that come from?

School is for teaching students how to think, give them knowledge and to make them understand the world in a secular manner. Public school is not a place for religion, unless of course you wish to have Voluntary classes in such things. I have NO trouble with that at all. But again, religion, as far as I am concerned, should be taught at home and in church, or at private school, it has no place in a public venue.

Just as I have explained to Betty, god CANNOT be used as a causation in science. God can Neither be proven NOR disproven, therefore, using god as a causation is NOT science. It is religion or philosophy.

If you wish to teach that Goddidit, then teach it in a religion or philosophy class, it has NO place in a science class.

Do we understand each other yet?

Science is not atheistic, it just never asks the question. If you ask a scientist if there is a god, he will most likely tell you yes. If you ask him to use god in a theory, he'll tell you that you are off your nut, because god cannot be used in a SCIENTIFIC theory.

Science is not atheistic, it is secular, because it cannot prove, NOR disprove the existence of god, therefore it never asks the question. if it were athiestic, it would say, "there is NO god" Science does not do that, because it cannot have an opinion on such a question. Because again, the question can neither be proven nor disproven. Therefore it is not for science to say.

That is where our signals are crossed, you think that since science does NOT use god, that it is atheistic, whereas I do not believe that. It is not sciences place to say whether there is a god or not. Sciences place is to use the facts at hand to answer questions. This is neither athiestic nor religious, it is secular.

Again, god cannot be proven nor disproven, therefore it is not a part of science, science is based on facts and suppostion with those facts. God is not a fact, nor is the nonexistence of god a fact, therefore it is not a part of science.

Now, if a science teacher stood in front of a class and said that there is no god, I want his ass fired pronto, because that is his opinion, NOT science. If he said that there is a god, I want his ass fired pronto, because again, that his opinion, not science. Science cannot answer the question, therefore, science has NO opinion.
