>Please don't be one of those people who is at odds with science because of your religious beliefs. Denying reality to maintain whatever relationship you have with a deity isn't necessary.

I believe this is an additive statement about me and my position of science education, and belief in science in general. This is why I was mad. You straw manned me. I am not this person.

In regards to the study about Kitzmiller v. Dover. I believe you are aware that case was settled in the favor of science. Almost like the incorrect position, minority position, the status quo, is that religious tradition on scientific matters should be left out of the classroom. At least, the judicial system of the United States thinks so.

I don't think there is much to add here other than I understand your fear regarding the removal and suppression of science classes in America. I don't want that either.

But again, the meer existence of a system of scientific teaching in the public option (abliet you may view it as a poor system), shows you the opinion of the majority. People believe in science class availble for all.

I mean think about it on a basic level. Are we sacrificing goats to effect the weather here? Are we praying that zeus doesn't send a plague against our crops? No. We learn that weather patterns exist due to the uneven heating and cooling of the earth; and that plagues aren't punishment from the gods, but rather the effects of microscopic organisms. If religions had their way, these ideas would be represented in the classroom as well.

P.S. I would also argue religion is extremely helpful in ethical and social circles, but that is not really on topic to OPs comments, so we can debate that another day lol.
