So you're saying that non-science should be taught in science class because most people believe the non-science to be true? Most people in this country believe their horoscopes too. Do you think we should include astrology alongside astronomy? Most people of my acquaintance at least seem to have lucky numbers they play in the lottery; should we include numerancy in our math courses?

Let's see, with a little rewording here, I'll ask this question:

So you're saying that Evolution should be taught in science class because few people believe Evolution to be true? Most people in this country believe their horoscopes too. Do you think we should include astrology alongside astronomy? Most people of my acquaintance at least seem to have lucky numbers they play in the lottery; should we include numerancy in our math courses?

should we include numerancy in our math courses?

School in the CRIDer world:

• Numerancy/Numerology -- an "alternative theory to mathematics
• Alchemy -- an "alternative theory" to chemistry
• Astrology -- an "alternative theory" to astronomy
• Angelacy -- an "alternative theory" to gravity
• Wizardry -- an "alternative theory" to physics

Of course, we have to include the Hindu Creation "theory," the American Indian Creation "theory," the Zoroastrian Creation "theory."

But those aren't "religion," just "alternate theories."

Of course, theories explain WHY something happens, but the CRIDers always seem to think they explain THAT something happens. Thus they don't understand why gravity is a "theory" even though you see something fall.
