Content: To believe Darwinism, Evolutionism, Materialism, Atheism, Naturalism, or Secularism Humanism doctrines are not based on some untestable or unobservable presuppositions (religious beliefs), would be naive. Those same naturalists would likely not agree with those same Bible believers when they encourage the teaching of the strengths and weaknesses of evolution (the non-religious belief definition) and intelligent design  (the non-religious belief definition) that is testable and observable (empirical) science. If textbooks, scientists, teachers or administrations blatantly continue teaching what turns out to be scientifically  false or deceptive or protecting (proselytizing) of their religion, replace the textbook, un-fund their work, change the curriculum, release them or consider closing the religion promoting tax payer funded school. In a free society, parents or guardians not the public institutions should teach a child’s religious beliefs. The public schools should be encouraged to teach truely scientific teachings, not religious indoctrination. If that were the case, I believe scientific inquirery, research and advancements would benefit greatly. Nathaniel J. Merritt Met. D. May 27, 2012 · 1:22 pm
The ongoing nonsense on the part of creationists is amazing. Call Bible Science whatever you will, it’s still Bible Science and that means not science at all. I am a theistic evolutionist and I scratch my  head in wonder that adults living in the 21st century take ancient religious documents and anachronistically read back into them modern scientific concerns and questions.
