[Revolting cat!]

I know nobody who thinks science can provide answers to metaphysical questions.

I don't know anybody who'll admit to having taking steroids. Nevertheless, we know that scientists and their Hellelujah Chorus in the media and the education establishment (present company excerpted, as usual) like or tend to dismiss metaphysical, and yes, existential questions as invalid, "non-scientific", and not worth much asking. And that, in my opinion, is the essence of the entire conflict, without getting into the discussion of evolution or the origins of the universe. Let's teach philosophy and theology that ask those questions, and let the scientists butt off!

Good to see where the priorities lie on this thread. Once kids can read, write, spell (I'm too old to learn that one ;) ) do math (2+2=5), learn about our founding fathers and other important world history, and yes even science then we can start to nitpick. Until then I think I'm going to bow out on this argument and concentrate on making sure my tax dollars aren't paying for schools to teach the neighbors kids how to put a condom on a cucumber, teaching them about "diversity" (ie racism), guns are bad, conservatives are evil, illegal aliens are our friends, terrorists are really just freedom fighters and other typical liberal spew.
