Evolution aside, I still don't understand why it wouldn't be appropriate in a high school science class to discuss the cosmological arguments and the many many fantastically improbable and coincidental constants, ratios, and conditions necessary for the universe and life as we know it. Isn't that science? Certainly the couple books I've read on the subject I found in the science section. The kids can draw their own conclusions.

Good Point truthchaser,

I was exposed the same way did my own studies and drew my own conclusions.

I agree. Look, in most high school classes evolution is a 6 week block of instruction. There's only so much time. I get that. But there is nothing wrong with encouraging students to explore hypotheses on their own.

Furthermore, the notion from a segment of FR that believing in God's creation is a detriment to furthering the science education of students is nonsense.

There is nothing wrong with teaching what science has no clue about, nothing. In fact, it should be emphasized more. What is more interesting than teaching about matters what remain unknown, and may remain unknown realistically speaking for our lifetimes, or for the span of the human species itself? I The key is that the issue has no scientific "answers" available, as opposed to theological answers posited as something in the realm of science.
