Faith vs Science in Schools

Okay, no one answered my questions:

Do you think we should teach history in math class?
Do you think we should teach English in chemistry class?
etc.

If the answer to these questions is no, then why should we teach religion in science class?

Conversely, would you be okay with teaching science in Sunday school/vacation Bible school?

This has nothing to do with "teach it all" and everything to do with what is appropriate and what is not. Religion does not belong in public school, and if you want it there, then it should be its own stand-alone class and that's another argument. The link I posted earlier perfectly sums up the dangers of teaching creationism in education - http://assembly.coe.int/main.asp?link=/ ... es1580.htm

2wLady, no, Creationism is not a hypothesis. It is not science, it is a religious idea.

Evolution isn't just important for college - it is the basis for a basic understanding of the world around us. If you want to know why you have to get a new flu vaccine shot every year, then you need to understand evolution. If you want to comprehend why a species dies when the food source it normally consumes disappears, when there is a similar type food source is nearby and could be consumed but isn't (and that that has impacts on development/land management), you need to understand evolution. And if you think that evolution "fills its own holes of things they can't explain" then you have no in-depth knowledge of evolution or scientific method.

The beauty of science is that it is always evolving, so saying it's egocentric is misunderstanding it as well. New explanations of how things work are accepted all the time, and old ideas discarded when there is enough proof to demonstrate a credible reason to do so. Scientists are skeptical and will not accept new things until there's a tipping point of enough reliable data, or enough independent researchers who've done experiments to back up the new hypotheses and it's not just one or two people who have an agenda to prove "their idea" is right. Science is self-correcting this way, and if something comes along that better explains how our world has come to be than evolution, then evolution as a theory will be discarded. But, it has to be testable, repeatable data; claiming that a "creator" or :intelligent designer" just did it is not science - that's God and that's religion. Period. Science is for science class. Religion is not.
