Then you didn't understand my point. If science is misused to
teach and/or imply that there are natural answers to all of
creation it goes beyond a materiatistic approach to science,
it is proselytizing a materialistic faith. That's what's going on
in public education. That's wrong and it needs to be corrected.
As I understand it, you consider nonevocation of God to be
equivalent to evocation of atheism.
No, I said many times what my point was. Science doesn't know
for certain that materialistic answers for everything will be found,
yet that is the approach taken by public education.
I understand that position to be contrary to logic.
I certainly would argue that, from a scientific perspective,
it is wrong to teach that science will or can answer all
questions. But to move from that position to an affirmation
of 'ID' requires, literally, a leap of faith.
No more faith than what is being taught now. It takes more faith to
believe it's all a happy accident. Some balance in school would be
the logical answer.
