I disagree. We may end up with a real understanding of gravity in the end. However, the concept of God can never be described by science and thusly remains firmly in the realm of faith. This, by definition, should not allow God into the science class.
Yet, even on a matter such as gravity, most Christians don't request that God be specifically credited with establishing gravity in school curricula. We understand, more than some of the evolutionists here may think, what science is and what its limitations are.
Good to hear.
But gravity is generally not used to bash people of faith. Darwinism often is.
The theory of evolution does not address a deity in any way shape or form. Just because some folks use it to bash a religion, makes it no less a theory in science. Should we bash Christianity because some nutball like Jim Jones caused a mass murder/suicide of 914 people?
Of course not!!
One of the most important principles of the faith of millions of Americans is our personal relationship with God, knowing that we were created in His image. We can't know how He did it,
And evolution does not address this
and 99.9% of the time we have no problem with science noting how things work, even though that notation is often theoretical and this year's hot theories may be tomorrow's discarded ones.
Theories in science do not come and go like this. For a theory to become such, much evidence is needed which would not be "discarded" lightly. BTW, I am certainly not advocating parts cannot be revised as new evidence comes to light or even discarding the whole thing should such evidence be uncovered. However, after 150 years of study by so many disciplines, the theory of evolution is more rock solid than the theory of gravity.
But given the tendency of evolutionary theory to be used as a battering ram against our faith, notwithstanding that it's a theory and like any theory it could be wrong and could even be discarded by science itself someday, we do on occasion ask that our kids be reminded that there could be more to human life than naturalistic processes.
This is being done every day in churches across the land. However, it is not science and should not belong in the science class.
That doesn't seem like too much to ask
But it is. How would a belief system be included into science class? Which belief? By local community?
Is there scientific evidence that there are gender differences in mental ability? For example, that men are on average better at math and spacial conceptualization than women? And that in the areas of highest ability in those areas, that males overwhelmingly dominate?
