Yes, in CHURCH, maybe.

Or, if you are lucky like me, you could send your child to a certain Episcopal school in Dallas, where one required class was Religions of the World. My son has vast knowledge and understanding of religions and luckily for me has taught me a thing or two. BTW...said school has a large Jewish population and all we have all learned from them and vice versa.
What is the concern of teaching theories?
Sorry jdarg, I have reread your post and thank you for your views.

I would love my kids to take a religion course in school- just not as a part of science class!![]()
you, unfortunately are wasting your time with folks who believe fairy tales should be taught in school. It makes for more well rounded scientists.For me it's the idea that she considers evolution and creationism to be of the same discipline. Evolution is a science, which like all sciences, is based on evidence and is falsifiable. Creationism at best belongs in a philosphy class. There is no evidence, and it rests purely on faith. There would be no way to unhinge it and prove it wrong, but that offers nothing in favor of its validity. It does not belong in a science class along side evolution. After eight years of anti-science under Bush, I don't see things getting better under another Republican BS administration in this regard.

;-)....got it. Remember, I am just a student in remedial class. Whatever happened to separation of church and state??? I am getting a little overwhelmed with my ignorance.
There are those that wish to blur the lines.
Well, puck 'em! I have had enough! ;-)
