I think that when science is bent to compare unscientific assertions it’s as debilitating as when it’s politicized by anti-capitalist masquerading as ecologists. I don’t care who believes in evolution or how aggressively it’s criticized, as long as it’s not misrepresented.


EM2,
Ok you lost me there. I used to build nuclear power plants so I doubt I hang with these evil doers. Do you have any specific cases in mind?

Honestly you are trying to split hairs just to get your way. Evolution simply is not very scientific outside of the concept that God doesn't exist. What you are wanting is education in a vacuum.

The fact that God exists, does not impede science and you have yet to demonstrate otherwise. To say science must be taught without acknowledging that there is God is like walking around with your eyes shut because you don't want to see the alternate paths to your destination.

Well it's time to go to bed. Sweet dreams.

Best Regards,
Boiler Plate

Why should a "God" be assumed?

BP, I don’t know who you’re referring to, the environmentalists that I mentioned or people like yourself insisting science class teach radically unscientific assertions consistent with your faith at any expense? I equated the two.

You know the old adage, “Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.”? Introduce divine intervention into science, and it’ll be endlessly ridiculed, student’s interring it into formulas, suggesting it while brain storming, excusing failure with it, etc… Go ahead a put it into Calculus while your at it.

Many Christians reconcile evolution with creation by more or less believing God set it up. AFAIK, there are no good scientific theories on what created the big bang. God is about as reasonable as anything I’m aware of. I think you’re arguing for nothing, against something that’s of no threat and for something that’s of no benefit .
