Oh, I wasn't pointing a finger at anyone here, just talking about what I've in general at work, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing a general religion course, like I had at the university. A Presbiterian minister (the univ. is Presb. too) gave it, and it was very objective and covered all the major religions without putting emphasis on any one in particular. Very refreshing and highly enlightening.Quote:

and heres the thing about science being the same for everyone that i think you are overlooking, science in itself is the same for everyone, e will be mc squared for a mormon and an atheist alike, but the conclusions drawn from it and applied by those who study it are not.
there are those who study biology and come away from it with just what they learned about biology, and then there are those who infer theories from actual tested sceince that are not directly supported by it. those who say that evolutionary biology disproves the existance of god, for instance, make the mistake of taking what is proven by the actual science and then adding additional inferences based on their opinions, thats where the scientific divide occours.
