Or to put it another way: Sure, you can teach your religion in science classes -- as soon as you let me teach science in your religion classes.

They are different topics. They are not even necessarily contradictory, except for the most literal religious interpretations.

There have been and are, many scientists of faith. Isaac Newton, anyone? Albert Einstein? One can believe in the divinity of life, or the universe in general, and still want to know how it works. But certain religious types seem to think we already know everything. Now THAT is arrogance!

If God had wanted us to think, God would have given us brains.

Oh. Wait.
