"Religious belief is not science,” Texas Commissioner of Higher Education Raymund Paredes said.

But sometimes science is religious belief, eh? Such as, say, Global Warming. Or the descent of mankind by evolution.

As a free-speech matter, I don't understand how you can get a masters in theology, or in delusional Women's Studies, but somehow not a masters in theologically based scientific theory.

If you read Newton, you find that he considered his theories based on theology. Are today's edu-mication commissions better than Newton? . . . Er, no.

secular humanism is a religous order that believes every man is a god.

Heck, try advocating abiogenic oil theory in American Academia: the result seems very much like a religious person’s shock at someone’s unbelief.
