This image is the best.
And by the way, "Pastafarian heaven includes, at least, one beer volcano and one stripper factory."
That is unfortunately how it is defined in vernacular, but in science, theory = fact.Quote:

These schools make minds go nutty.

True. My high school did something similar with pins and ribbons about the Gulf War because of disruptions.Quote:

No, Evolution doesn't have to be taught in a science lab. Evolution can be taught in a classroom, in this scenario alongside other notorious theories about where we came from. There's no backpedalling because I never pushed it as a science class. I was pointing out how there's room for both in a classroom environment without encroaching on the science territory.Quote:

Why shouldn't evolution be taught in a science classroom? It is science, a scientific theory, supported by unbiased evidence, that explains a major question in the world. It has no business being anywhere near hypotheses that have no evidence to support them.
The only reason I can think of for it not being taught in this classroom is because Christian conservatives dont like it, but tough shit.
Right, it was bringing up obvious facts of how the two can coexist in a classroom setting (and do as you've pointed out). There's no need to encroach in the science lab, but I wasn't speaking with Advocate4945.Quote:

You can teach it in a completely different setting (a social english like I pointed out) to avoid a clear conflict of interest with science and religion as fact. None of this is stopping someone from explaining it in the lab. It separates the two and plays to both parties independantly.Quote:

You teach evolution as a science, clearly as a science, in a science classroom.
You teach whatever the fuck religious thing in survey of religion and sociology classes when necessary. Creationism, Xenu, whatever creation myths you like.
The two dont belong together, in any way, especially in this sort of context:
Again you misuse the word theory, btw.Quote:
