Science and Religion

Most people who are involved in the teaching of science in public schools are alarmed at how religious zealots are trying to infuse religion into science classes.

I believe in a strong separation between church and state and religious beliefs have no place in science classes.

I believe that science tries to answer the question "How?" The problem is that scientists deal with the evidence at hand when creating theories and the amount of evidence is constantly growing, so theories do change over time. Newtonian physics gave way to Einstein physics as relativity was discovered and understood.

Religion tries to answer the question "Why?" It is a question that science cannot answer and should not answer.

I don't have any problem with anyone's search for answers to questions that may never get quite answered. Your faith should be respected.
