And that, frankly, is a lie.
Critias said:Would you object to science class starting its teaching on evolution saying in the beginning God created this universe and the first life, bacteria(or whatever)? Through evolution bacteria evolved and eventually mankind was here.
Critias said:Then, do you support that we ought to act ashamed of God when we are in school therefore being quiet and not speaking of Him there?
I am glad that you feel you need to share God in Sunday School.
If all science can do is provide natural causes for observed phenomena, then common descent isn't science because it has not been observed but rather asserted.
And why can't science give credit to God? It gives credit to man. Are they that ashamed of God that they must be silent about Him in certain places?
It is sad that we have Christians who feel they need to be quiet about God in public and only have a private relationship with God. Only expressing their beliefs in Him in appropriate places: Sunday School, Christian forums, etc. It is sad that Christians feel science shouldn't give God glory, shouldn't give God credit and instead focus on man and give man the credit and the glory.
Science has no problem saying look at what man has achieved, look at what man has done. TEs here support this, yet they do not support God being included since it is He who created all this and it is for His Glory, not mans.
notto said:Your still not listening. Science class by definition can only talk about what we can observe naturally or through physical evidence and natural causes. That is the definition of science. Do we give the glory to God for the debilitating diseases there as well? How about crippling viruses? What about chemistry and physics? Do we give glory to God for covelant bonds?
Science class is silent about God because it isn't the appropriate place to discuss it. You are misrepresenting the postion of TE's (and scientists in general). That you continue to do this and to try to make our motives out as something that they are not is rather uncharitable.
Your last paragraph is actually quite amusing. That you attribute these motivations to another Christian shows that you truly don't understand science or the view of those Christians who accept it. It seems that no matter how many times it is explained to you that this is not the case, you simply turn around and repeat it.
Let us know when you are willing to listen and accept that the motivations for how science is approached by others is exactly what they say it is and not your own misrepresentations. You seem to basically trying to say that somehow you are better Christian than others who actually understand science and what the purpose of science class is (and what it is not).
Trust me when I say to you that your mischaracterizations of my beliefs are far from reality.
You are doing a disservice to the very Christians and those that teach and do science that you are trying to address. Misrepresentation and applying false motives to those you wish to address won't do anything to help us see your point of view. If anything, it shows that you don't want to really address the topic at all in a truthful way.
See you around.
Critias said:So you agree that God only belongs in religion and no where else?
noto said:Science class is silent about God because it isn't the appropriate place to discuss it.
Critias said:Look, maybe I am wrong, maybe I am just ignorant.
In my view, there is no inappropriate place to discuss God.

notto said:So then you agree that we should talk about God and give God the glory in all classes? Chemistry, political science, home ec, and phys ed? Band class? If we don't, isn't it celebrating man's acheivements?
Critias said:If we are talking about how we have our talents, then it is by God that we have our talents. So, in that sense, I would give God the Glory. What I have is not because of me, it is because of what God has given me.
Calminian said:More uncharitable remarks.
Yet you continue to debate your case. The irony's getting thick.
And if you need to run faster to help save the antelope, do you would turn to your evolutionist? This is what this man did and just look at the results.shernren said:If I come down with cancer, do I go to my pastor without going to the doctor?
