Here's an example from their site:

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity" Albert Einstein

I know several of the ID proponents on this thread have mentioned Einstein as an example of a scientist with faith. I think he would be a perfect role model for ninth graders, don't you?

Stick MY screen name on there as well, for I agree wholeheartedly!

This DOES describe Buddhism quite well: No mention of sin; no mention of Heaven, allows anyone who wishes claim to be one.....


What's not to like? from a human standpoint?
