I think that when science is bent to compare unscientific assertions its as debilitating as when its politicized by anti-capitalist masquerading as ecologists. I dont care who believes in evolution or how aggressively its criticized, as long as its 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?

" 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? " BP, I dont know who youre 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 itll be endlessly ridiculed, students 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 Im aware of. I think youre arguing for nothing, against something thats of no threat and for something thats of no benefit .
