Science is religiously neutral.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

While the facts of science are neutral the framework in which they are taught are not, and it is impossible to teach in an environment free of framework.

There are only 2 possible options:

1) Science can reflect the glory of God and the facts presented within that framework. This is not religiously neutral in content or consequences.

Or...

2) Science and its facts are presented in a framework that ignores God. This is not religiously neutral in content or consequences.

There are no other options.

Please, let's get government out of the K-12 religiously non-neutral education business. Let parents and teachers decide upon a godless or God-centered framework in the private setting of private schools.

There are apparently no other options in your very limited view.

Should Science say “gravitational acceleration at sea level is 9.8 m/s^2 neglecting air friction, unless God wants to change it” for Gravity to not be a “godless” theory?

What a waste of words. What an asinine assumption that unless every sentence is laced with pious nonsense that it is “godless”.

How would one go about getting the non-Christian world to accept your Scientific findings if it is laced with pious nonsense about “unless God wants to change it” or “because God wanted it to be this way”?

Separation of Church and State. Yes, for both will exist in greater purity the more they are kept apart.

Separation of Church and Science. A necessity for Science to even be Science.

Separation of Education and State. Absolutely. Vouchers now!
