Religion, God, and Science at my Academy

How will I teach "delicate" historical topics like the age of the earth and evolution, since religion differs from science on these topics? In all places where there is proof, I will teach the proof. In short, this will be a school for learing, NOT indoctrination in some religion or other's beliefs.

If the parent says they believe in gremlins on the dark side of the moon then that is all the more reason to keep that kid in class and to make sure they know what reality really is.

[cropperb]

Only as long as the parents don't want me to teach about the gremlins...

[cropperb]

Subjective? Why does subjectivism follow from building a currciulum? So because I have to choose SOMETHING to teach, it necessarily means that I can have no possible Objective reasons for what I choose? That's assanine.

Nice bullshit skepticism.

I predict the end of fundamentalist christianity is near.

The mantle of ignorance they support with young earth and denial of evolution is an untennable assertion.

Eventually nature will take its course and eliminate the weaker(dumber) of the species.

Christianity's days are numbered, and not a mintue too soon I might add.

Good riddance.

[jakeknotthead]

the only reason why it is still around is it is implanted into them at an early age

[zezt]

I dont agree ;)

[Windomjeff]

Again I disagree with you on art, but this is well delivered

[zezt]

cont))and how out of this mechanistic BELIEF in reality, that the institution of psychiatry came about in the 19th century, and was to join hands with medicine and then not based on any scienctific evidence (but pretends to) deem more and more human emotions 'pathological'.

And tell them kids how THAt belief 'based on science' is central controlling myth of these times, and how millions of their peers are being drugged in the schools to 'behave' and 'believe' in their 'scientific education'?

[zezt]

what i bet you WONT teach yo kids about is scienTISM! when science becomes religion.

Also the history of father of modern science's agreement with church. That science will leave out subjective experience and when 'God' is finally seen to be not part oftheir equations how any feelings that cannot be MEASURED are deemed of no consequence

"I believe in Science" That's what I have always been waiting for a human to say other than myself. Lots of people have tatoos of gods on their bodies. And if you ask me what I want to tatoo myself, I will say math equations all over my body. Because I believe in science.

"He's right, the earth's moving". But is the sun standing still? If extending a line into infinity from one body, the earth, is a fallacy, then extending a line into infinity from another body, the sun, must also be a fallacy. Bellarmine was right to call the Galilean explanation merely "simpler".
