It doesn't matter if it's more likely to be correct. It simply isn't science. That's what his issue is about. Science classes teach the best science available. They don't teach needlepoint or religion.


You keep repeating that mantra, but without addressing at all the specific issue. Which isn't like you.

We know that life forms change. We see it.

We know that intelligent beings can change life forms. We do it.

Why isn't it scientific to ask whether there are other intelligent beings that also change life forms? What is unscientific about that?

Science studies the origins of the universe and asks how it happened. Nobody argues that that isn't science.

Why isn't studying the origins of conscious life science?

I submit that you call it not science just because you personally don't believe in it. Which is really, really, really bad science.
