Nancy, I find Einstein's writings thoughtful and fascinating, also. He makes a great deal of sense to me. THis one sentence said much more clearly that I've been able to how I feel! My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. I think we are saying the same thing about teaching, but have a problem with what we consider science. Whatever facts are missing in the theory of evolution, whatever questions remain, need to be made clear in the teaching. My conflict is in whether creationism is science or religion, and as I said, because it relies on faith, I still think it's religious in nature. However, again, I have no problem with any theories being introduced as long as they are presented honestly and completely. By the way, my sons were taught a minimal amount about evolution in school and it was presented as the theory which seems most probable, not fact. They said the teachers didn't spend time on the issue at all---my guess is many teachers have been made to feel uncomfortable and nervous with the topic. I read this weekend that many textbooks have a statement in them that evolution is only a theory. I was surprised that your children were taught this as fact and think you could certainly discuss it with the teacher. Well, I've had enough for a while! And will leave the details to the rest of you. Have a wonderful day, Nancy! penni
