Prayers and religious teachings have no place in public K-12 schools.
You want kids to learn your religion? Send them to a religious
school.

Exactly, we expect and demand the government to stay out of our
churches. It's not the government's responsibility to teach religion.
That's what parents, churches, and religious schools are for.

Let me ask you this.

Would it be acceptable to teach the subject of creationism as part of
the social sciences education? If not, why not?


No. It would be the teaching of a superstitious religious belief.

Then why teach "science"? Lot of science is beliefs. Lots of beliefs
that
have fallen by the wayside. Can not move faster than the speed of sound.
Lots say we can not go faster than the speed of light. Even Einstein did
not claim that. Just that it would take infinite energy. How can
photon's
get to the speed of light and not use all available energy? You want to
teach only your beliefs. Maybe your beliefs are as screwed up as other
nutcases.



With the passage of time, scientific knowledge expands, and theories are
either proven, expanded, discarded or wait their turn for further proof.
There is not a scintilla of proof for "creationism" or more important, for
the existence of "god." It's all faith-based.

Maybe the scintilla is just around the corner. You want to stop all looking
for the Scintilla.
