Why do they need to in any science class?

A scientist needs to consider all options and not just those he has grown accustomed to. Because "science is "modern" to some and "religious" belief is considered old fashioned to some, is no reason to ignore the God factor...

hi Little Nipper,

Have you been to Philadelphia Biblical University, Bob Jones University, and Liberty Baptist University?

Also, would you kindly explain why your god would conspire with Satan to murder innocent children?

Actually, I attended Liberty Baptist University (when it was called Liberty Baptist College --- Rev. Jerry Falwell was the founder). I was in two plays there. One was called 'Our Town' and the other was 'My Fair Lady.' And I attended several events at Philadelphia Biblical University in Langhorn Pa. (which is not very far from my home), and I saw 'Fiddler on the Roof' there. Two of my wife's sisters attended Bob Jones University.

Again you say nothing. Is it so hard to understand that even in at a Christian university physics class they are not going to bring up God as part of teaching you about Gravity. You seem like you get upset if people don't use God in every sentence.

Do you really say anything? And what is wrong when a Christian thinks the world revolves around God and not man?

So. No.


I, I can't get these memories out of my mind,
And some kind of madness has started to evolve.

I, I tried so hard to let you go,
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

I have finally seen the light,
And I have finally realized,
What you mean.
Ooh oh oh

And now, I need to know is this real love,
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?

And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had,
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control

Yeah

And now I have finally seen the light,
And I have finally realized,
What you need.
Mmmm...

And now I have finally seen the end
(Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care
(Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light
(Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized
(Realized)
I need your love
I need your love

Come to me,
Just in a dream
Come on and rescue me.
Yes I know, I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is

Madness

Scientists are good at being willing to consider all the evidence, but it doesn't answer the question of why they should bring up God in a science class, or in regards to something like dark matter.

Is there no answer?

- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

Why sould they not? Separation of State and Church doesn't seem a very good reason to exclude views, values, or opinions.

Are children entirely innocent? King David didn't think so. Talk to some school teachers and I will be willing to say the degree of sin is much less but they learn quick. When exactly did you take up lying, cheating, stealing, calling people names, being insulting, a gossip, being self-absorbed, smoking, drinking and thinking sex was fort sport? :twisted:
