[Forcing religion into the public schools is a violation of the First Amendment (yes, even by original intent -- try reading some Madison and Jefferson on this topic).]

Religion is not banned in public schools. Whatever gave you the idea that it was?

Whatever gave you the idea that I had an idea like that? Try reading for content.

And the motivations of scientists are not dispositive of anything.

I never said that they were.

BBT was the work of a Catholic Monk.

So?

Under your expansive view of the "establishment clause" Lemaitre's work would have been banned in public schools because his peers initially disagreed with the view that there was a beginning.

Horse manure. I have said no such thing, and your bizarre imputation bears no resemblance to my actual view of the establishment clause.

So tell me, when would a Catholic Monks scientific work, quite possibly influenced by his world view, be acceptable for a science class.

When it has met the standards of scientific methodology, of course.

Perhaps when a federal judge gave the go ahead?

Look, I *know* you're not this dense, so why are you pretending to misunderstand my post so badly?

:-} Nothing you wrote is worth responding to especially the part where I have to "read for content". That was good for a laugh though.
