Well, you've shown that your legal analytical skills are on par with the vocabulary skills you displayed when you defined everything in life but actual prayer to be "atheistic."

Actually, in deference to you, I adopted the word "nontheistic" as opposed to "atheistic" since the distinction is supposedly so important. I hardly use the word to define "everything in life but actual prayer," but I do use it to define the type of science that adheres to the shaping principle that God is beyond its purview.

I don't care how legally attuned or well-practiced you are. The Constitution does not prohibit the expression - either in public, in private, in science, or in horsehoes - that organized matter may be the result of a higher intelligence. Nor does it allow for nontheistic principles to be established as the only viable science, either in public or in private.

If you think non-theistic science is so fine, then fund your own private schools so as to keep out the superstitious riff raff and keep your children pure from what you believe to be academically inferior teaching.
