Since religion has influenced religion so much over the past centuries, milleniums even, that its only logical that science would be one of its lackies. Without religion science wouldnt be much, seeing as science is basically a way to show how god is wonderfull and can create such complex organisms, yet someone can still argue that science may be a way to disprove god. Science and Religion go hand in hand, maybe not as much as in the past, but i agree with Gweniver13, they're both a way to explain everything.

Ya'll need to keep writing "for some people" at the end of your posts. I don't need religion to explain anything. I don't care how the original organisms got here (and no one can explain it for sure), but everything can be explained scientifically for me thereafter. So, some of you may need religion to go hand in hand with science, I do not. I don't need fables or superstitions or falsehoods or contradictions from men of yore.

My question remain...Why is some science forbidden in the schools in some states of the US?? or aren´t they? This man Krauss makes a big job against the creationist´s lobbying.

not forbidden, per se. Still some schools (cough*bible belt* cough)refuse to teach evolution. It interferes with the Bible. Even in Liberal old MA, they made a big point of how you don't have to believe in it.

curie <<My question remain...Why is some science forbidden in the schools in some states of the US??>>
The same reason our president thinks he was "appointed by God." The same reason South Carolina requires the use of only mini bottle of liquor in bars. ("But the mini-bottle has big friends, powerful friends, who have ensured that South Carolina retains the distinction of being the only state in the nation requiring bars to serve all hard liquor in mini-bottles. The mini-bottle's place behind the bar is even enshrined in the state's constitution.") The answer is, powerful people do what they want with laws and sometimes those powerful people are religious, hence the religion in public schools. Although, if science is forbidden in public schools in the US, it's not forbidden in most.

The reason some science is not taught in some schools goes back all the way to the main founders of that particular state, county, citie, town or whatever. Whatever they believe is what is going to be taught. If they dont believe in evolution, there not going to talk about it. Its all about putting god forth as the #1 man and saving face. Thats why the book of darwin was so controverial

Acutally this mainly only happens in christain based cultures. Not EVERY school does this, just he more christain orientated ones.

I hoped that was the case. I´m from sweden and that kind of discussion, what to teach and not to are we totally out of. The christian and other religious schools we have are controlled so they provide all the necessary things. incl. evolution and other religions for ex.
