I did not say that Christianity should be preached in the schools. I am merely saying that the current curricula is religion-based (atheism), therefore it should not be allowed either. They are teaching the atheistic version of the origins of the universe and the origins of man. Should not be allowed.

As well as the atheistic version of physics, chemistry, geology...
So in your opinion what is not religion based? Is there a version of the origins of the universe that is neither atheistic nor theistic from your point of view?

And BTW, I didn't say that Laplace did not believe in a god, only that he didn't need a supernatural explanation in his works. And the same is true for many scientist after him.

Yes, and the original article starting this thread is good news in that it sets precedent for other states to at least get a disclaimer in the textbooks. We'll try to turn their incrementalism back on them, but personally I hold literally no hope out that the government schools will in any way be acceptable to Christian children or for those who wish their children to be given the full picture.

WRONG, the current curriculum is Secularly based, or should be. There should be no mention of god, PERIOD!!

Sorry, but science is NOT atheistic, or have you NOT been listening? Even the pope has a HUGE scientific staff, and they are all priests.

Come on exmarine, you are making science out to be something it is not, atheistic, just as G3K does, but he's a fanatic, whereas I do not believe you fit into that mold, or we would not be talking so civily.

Science has NO opinion about god, that is the bottom line, and if it used god anywhere it would be religion, NOT science.

Science is secular, it has no opinion. Just as the schools should be.

again, if you wish your children to know creationism, or ID or any other religious based beliefs, teach them yourself. It's just that easy.
