It seems worth pointing out that anyone who thinks the existence of God can be proved through the presence or absence of physical evidence may be lacking an understanding of both theology and science! As the saying goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence...
Ever notice that the folks who think that maybe there is something to this world beyond what we can see, feel, smell, and hear are thought to be "close minded" and the "open minded" folks think that if you can't prove it, it doesn't exist? That said, science is a way of knowing that is based on reason and what we can measure, and its teaching should be restricted to those things, so I applaud the efforts to keep faith (beyond the faith needed to trust science) out of a scientific classroom. Interesting discussion. I hope there's no need of a "holy war" in civil discourse... Cheers, Darren
