Incompetent Design has no merit within Science. It is not a Scientific hypothesis, it is not testable, and it is not useful as a means of gaining information.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If all education were privately delivered then **you** could choose a private school for **your** children that would teach evolution within this godless worldview philosophy.

Others could choose private schools that taught science from a God-centered worldview.

By the way, I an my husband attended Catholic schools. We both have doctorates. His is in biochemistry. Mine is in a highly competitive and respected health field. My husband worked as a research leader for one of the world's largest chemical firms. He holds 6 patents, lectured worldwide, won many professional honors, and was published frequently in some of the world's most respected scientific peer-reviewed journals.

My husband and I were educated in Catholic schools where the existence of a rational God was woven throughout the curriculum in **every** class including science.

And I in no way have a “godless worldview philosophy”, quit trying to read my mind. I am a Scientist and a Christian and like our founder Madison's belief in Religion and Government, the two will exist in greater purity the more they are kept apart. Indeed once one tries to shoehorns religion into Science it destroys the very edifice it attempts to shelter itself under. It is not Scientific and it is rather shoddy theology.

Catholic eh? Well then. Listen to the Pope.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19956961/

LORENZAGO DI CADORE, Italy - Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith.

The pontiff, speaking as he was concluding his holiday in northern Italy, also said that while there is much scientific proof to support evolution, the theory could not exclude a role by God.

“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”

You've already said that your husband didn't need to mention God in his patent applications or journal articles. Does that mean they were based on a Godless worldview, or does that mean that mention of God is unnecessary in the explanation of some scientific concepts?
