Good question. And it deserves discussion. Not the "religion" of evolution at the expense of everything else.

Not the "religion" of evolution at the expense of everything else.

Does equating evolution with religion make religion as strong as the science of evolution? Or make evolution as weak as religion?

How does equating evolution with religion, if you believe in a religion, make evolution worse than what you believe?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Evolution is a scientific theory, it belongs in the science classroom.

Creation is a religious belief, it belongs in Sunday school.

Evolution does not belong in Sunday school, and Creationism does not belong in the science classroom.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no organized groups seeking to force the discussion of evolution as an alternative to Creation during Sunday school, but there are organized groups seeking to force the discussion of Creation as an alternative to evolution in the science classroom.

What's wrong with each idea having its pulpit, free and independent of one another?

If people want their kids to discuss Creation in the classroom, then they should put them in a parochial school, and they should respect the rights of others to send their children to non-parochial schools.

No one should be ablt to force other people's kids to sit in a classroom and listen to a science teacher give his views on Creation.
