Darwinism v. "Intelligent Design"
I've blogged about this before.
Let's go over this again:
Faith: belief without evidence.
Science: the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena. Very poorly paraphrased, "skeptical belief with gathered evidence".
Both are part of a whole: humanity's endless search for understanding, of self, self's place in the universe, and purpose. But they are not the same.
What I don't understand is why anyone would want to teach religion in science class. If you believe that your religion has all the answers, and science is a puny second-best, well, then let science be taught - it's just a method for studying what we see around us. Religion is The Truth, ineffable and pure.
Why do you want your Truth to be sullied, taught on the same level, in the same room as a mere method?
