I'm with you on the religion question. There is zero scientific evidence for God himself (herself, itself, themselves) much less God and the creation or "design" of species. While I have no problem with discussions of what "theory" means, scientifically speaking- folks who think "religion" might be put in a science book have no business at the table. Or do we get to scientifically tear apart the "theory" of God? - I'd love to do that, but again, it belongs in philosophy class, or mythology class, not science class. I realize the religious want to be at the science table, because it's so formal and serious there, and so concrete, but too bad. When you're dealing with the invisible and unprovable and faith driven, you don't get to play junior scientist.

You can not force your religion into my public school science classes, period. I don't care how you frame it, what arguments you make, it is not permissible and never will be.

Yikes, Seminole....get a grip.

I'm talking about honesty in the classroom, especially a science classroom, and you have to personalize it.
