# I'd be happy to accept children being taught
'some idiots think the entire Universe was created in 6 days... pity them and try to understand them if you can... '

# that would do! TBH it should remain in religious studies (if the school has RE lessons), and if not, not taught at all.
otherwise, science teachers should tell kids "for homework tonight, go home and read Frank Herbert's Dune".

It's probably more interesting and contains 23.8% more fact.

# I'm trying to convince RE teachers to teach quantum mechanics.

# this^
this this this until my throat is sore... if Science lessons should be made to include the vanishingly unlikely possibility that the universe was created AS IT IS NOW in 6 days, then RE lessons should include reference to the large groups of people who are happy to have no faith!

# you're right of course
although there is the risk which goes hand in hand with science which is that it's a bunch of stuff which seems to back each other up and make sense... until it's proved wrong - I personally think it would be hard to make a rational argument against evolution (ever) but - still - a well founded and rational belief is still a belief and Scientists have been wrong in the past.

# I can see that side of it, yes, science can be wrong (and surprisingly often)
But it is based in fact and reason - theories are updated when new fact is happened upon, religion isn't, it just makes excuses...

# Some religions do occasionally update their views.
For example, the Catholic church admitted its mistake about the Earth being at the centre of the solar system, and admitted that evolution is probably correct.
It just takes a shit lot of evidence for them to do it.
