I am sure we do. As a conservative, can you at least agree that the government has no right to teach children that their religion is untrue? That is the entire point of this article.

No. There are a number of religions whose doctrines are flatly contradicted by modern science. As long as it's a public school, I don't want the government to teach any religious doctrine.

At this point, of course, you will reply that evolution is a religious doctrine. You would be wrong to do so, of course, but I suspect that won't stop you.

To sum it all up: stick to real science...and then implement a voucher program, and render the controversy moot.

Agreed public schools should not be teaching religion and they shouldn’t be saying that it is myth.

At one time the doctrine that the universe had a beginning was flatly contradicted by *modern science*. And your point is?

As long as it's a public school, I don't want the government to teach any religious doctrine.

Fine. Then don't go putting into allegedly science textbooks that Biblical creation is a myth because that is teaching a religious doctrine.

The book should not be used.
