Telling people that there is a book in the library isn't the same as having a place for God in Science class.

Ya think?

But there is an undeniable connection. You see when godless NEA liberals demanded God be removed from public screwels, that wasn't enough, it was also necessary to hide from them anything and everything that threatens their ideology, thus the need on at least one occasion to obfuscate even the knowledge of dissent being available in the library.

Think also of the stickers on textbooks explaining evolution is theory and not fact.

What place does God have in Science class?

Are you proposing an experiment that purports to measure him or detect HIS inestimable hand? Is faith not enough that you need a scientific determination on if God is?

You don't think God is greater than science? If a child begins to question his teacher about God's creation in science class, you find the need to shut him down and explain to him there's no place for God in science class? Will you demand the scientific study of prayer be squashed because of your sensitivities and insecurities also?

Just because you can't bottle him up in a jar as proof or evidence one way or the other?

And btw, faith is more than enough for me, but try to focus here, we're talking about children here, and my earlier point still stands, imagine a child early on in their development and all they hear is how at odds science is with their faith in God.

Is that your ultimate goal for students to choose between science OR faith in God/ Christianity?

Acknowledging Him isn't the same as testing him allmendream.

There is no place in public school for official recognition of God.

So that is how “God included” Science class would sound to you?

“OK, all non Christians leave the room, because we are about to discuss “Science”. Now “In the Beginning God created the heavens and the Earth”, now isn't that ‘scientific’ class?”

The place to assuage a child's faith in God is at home and at Church, not in public school science class.

And one of the reasons real science is accepted worldwide, and your “God included” science would be relegated to the benighted backwaters is that not all people in the world who wish to learn and do science share our belief in Jesus the Christ.

Science is open to all religious beliefs because religious beliefs are completely tangential to scientific evidence and experimentation.

My “ultimate goal” is to have science taught in science class.

That is not a choice between science and God. Indeed, most scientists in the USA are, like myself, people of faith.

It is a choice between useful and applicable knowledge and useless religious apologetics.
