Science 1

The religous fundamentalists in this country have done an astonishingly good job at framing the argument so that Science somehow competes with Religion and vice versa.  This is captured in the fundamentalist position that both Darwinism and Creationism are "theories," and therefore should both be taught in High School science class.

This is preposterous and reeks of overreach of the worst sort.

Those posing as even handed pretend as if each discipline somehow make up for each other's weaknesses.

This is incorrect and foolish.

Science and Faith are two different worlds, two different disciplines.  They don't compete with each other, and they don't complement each other.  When I have kids, I will not allow my child to go to a Church which pretends to teach, say, chemistry.  And I will not allow them to go to a school that attempts to disguise Creationism as Science.

True as far as it goes, but there are those whose faith in science leads to real problems. Example: the insane idea that scientists could come up with an infant formula superior to the one developed by nature. Many children suffer unnecessary diseases because hubris on the part of scientists cause them weak immune systems.

I will (amazingly enough) have to disagree, as there is "Creationism Science". BUT, I do agree that Science and Religion do nothing for each other ~ one is the truth and one is man-made.

OK then remove Darwinism from the schools because a theory is just that. Your review is well written and I give you kudos for that.
