You don't understand science and you want religion taught in its place.

You see, there are religious schools, where you can teach this stuff. Not public schools.

You don't get it.

Is your faith in God threatened by evolution?

"You don't understand science and you want religion taught in its place."

You don't understand what science is and what it is not. I have never advocated teaching religion in the place of science. I have repeatedly said that science is proper within its self-imposed bounds of naturalism.

When science wanders outside those bounds and attempts to answer questions it is not equipped to answer; it is functioning as a belief system, not as science. It is proper to point out that science is functioning as a belief system in those situtations.

You misrepresent me in order to have an argument. Is that how 'science' works?
