TheBigAl said:BOOOOOOMMM!!!
But seriously. Science and religion can go side by side, but only to a certain extent. As you might already know, many discoveries and research conducted by modern science contradict many old beliefs of religious institutions ( example evolution, even though it really doesnt threaten anything). Many people who take the bible literally, will refuse to be exposed to a subject which can put their faith into question, and thus will cause them to feverously deny or attack this contradicting notion.
crazy4Christ007 said:Haha, nice explosion. Yes I agree only to a certain extent. I understand what you are saying, but either way people are going to find something wrong with our school systems. Right now it's that creationism isn't taught in science, next it will be every religion, and then everything will contridict each other. But where you were saying "the people who take the Bible literally..." is what we are trying to explain. Nomatter what you will always find those against the school systems. The truth is that religion isn't a class that has to be taken, science is. Has anyone thought about making relgion manditory? That way students can learn each of the beliefs and pick one. That way the creationist, evolutionist etc..will still get their say...Again just a thought.
random_guy said:The problem is there's so many religions, many religions will be shortchanged in the amount of time spent, even if we created a religion class. Personally, I believe that religion is something that one must seek for themselves. If it was taught, the teacher's bias would sure to creep in, even if all it is is not spending as much time on the subject as other religions.
crazy4Christ007 said:But where to seek it? If school don't teach it, then how will one learn of it? I never even heard of evolution when for fiffteen years in a private school.
TheBigAl said:Everyone who seeks a higher education will confront the concept of evolution eventually. The concept of creationism will be covered in a persons belief system. Now, for people to be aware of other creation ideas out of their religion will pretty much be left to themselves to find. I mean, I dont think a Christian school will allow Islamic, Mormon, Jewish, or even satanic claims of creationism taught in their institution, right?
What people need in order to learn ideas and beliefs different from their own is interest in learning and to seek this information for themselves. Have you ever heard of spiritual or soul searching? This is a good example of what Im trying to explain.
crazy4Christ007 said:I understand what you are saying. But honestly how is someone going to know their are other religions and what to research if they have never even heard of the relgion?
TheBigAl said:I have to admit, this is hard to answer. If we were to educate the masses about all the regions in the world, we would have to create a library of pure region knowledge or something. The only problem is that there are so many belief systems that it will be difficult to include them all.
PS: Did you know that there is a religion dedicated to Elvis Presley?http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/sacred_heart_elvis.html I thought this was a joke, but after reading some more I dont think these people are joking.

TheBigAl said:I remember first hearing of this on CNN a few years back. It could all be a joke, though. Then again, there are the flying spaghetti monster followers, and that cult actually gets donations from people.

What exactly would that be? I want the freedom to pick my religion. That is why I do argue this point. I am a darwin christian, and happy of it. If I had not been exposed to evolution, I couldn't chose. See, this I learned of religions through school, like so many. This is again why I have to side with my point.
