I would love to here this explained.....
Well I must be getting older than I thought because I thought I did explain it.
If a teacher presumes to teach his/her students that there is no such thing as a Creator or Intelligent Designer, he/she is not teaching science but is teaching religion. And teaching it badly at that. As science. Just won't fly.
I don't care what the teacher's personal beliefs are because they are irrelevent. If creationism or intelligent design has no place in science class, then neither does denial of creationism or intelligent design have a place in science class.
you are using really faulty arguments here. science is based on what can be proven and disproven and as implied by faith god or the role of a supernatural being can never be proven or disproven.
disproving creationism through science is really easy though without having to worry about what a god did or didnt do... examples:
1) creationism requires a earth of only 6k years old... we can see objects millions of light years away
2) the text that describes creationism says that the moon provides ligt which is provably false
3) the same text bred the flat earth theory which we know is false
4) creationism (6k years) also cannot explain even basic geography and natural structures that would require millions of years to develop (e.g. grand canyon)
creationism has no room in science classes period, its simply another creation myth that should be taught with all the others
So something that can be neither proven, nor "disproven," is not "Science?"
Then, by your definition, AGW is a religion (or a myth), right? It should be taught with all the other myths, because it can't be proven or "disproven?"
I am a creationist who believes in evolution. I do not subscribe to the 6k year theory you wish to project upon all those who believe in creation, nor do I consider our breadth of knowledge to encompass all of Science, or religion.
