Science classes?

[JDog]

Anyone here have problems in science classes? Doesn't matter what, it could be general science, chemistry, biology, space science, and enviromental science, or other ones you guys have.

[Hi no Seijin]

My problem with science classes are that they allow no room for magic and other unlogical stuff.

My problem is, like talk about the big bang theory, they never once mention god in the discussion, I'd slap them in the head for that, cause we all know god created the earth.

You mean christians believe god created the earth.

[Hi no Seijin]

I'm not trying to start something, but that's all a matter of belief.  Also, keep in mind that atheists tend to make a big freaking deal about God being said around them, and they also tend to win court decisisions relating to stuff that has to do with God being talked about or mentioned in public places like schools.

Still, its rather stupid on why they don't mention him.

That was not addressed at me, was it?

Yes, Christians do believe that.  And what I said wasn't aimed at anyone.  I just stated what I observe, and I observe that atheists tend to make a big deal about God being mentioned in public.  But then, maybe that isn't really all that fair because if I do interact with atheists on a daily basis, they aren't making a big fuss like the ones who land themselves in the media spotlight do.  So if you are an atheist and you're offended by what I said, I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to offend you, but I still stand by my statement that some atheists make too big a deal about God being mentioned in public.

So moving right along, what is your hardest science class, mine is biology, we are learning about evolution, and I think its just plain stupid.

You've seen my userbar haven't you? :)

And no, I'm not offended. I just thought it was a pretty random thing to say.

Is anyone paying attention to my last post?

...Anyways, I always hated science. I did like bio in high school, though, but alot of that had to do with the teacher. Luckily I only had to take two science classes in college and both were pretty much jokes.

I think biology is just down right boring, and to top it all off, I don't understand any of it.

HEEEEEEEEEEEERE we go again!

Main reason why we do not put god in the classrooms as a backdrop to evolution is because some of the 'alternate' 'theories' are nothing more but hypothesises, without evidence or research to adequately support it.

We could say that God was the big bang, we could say that God was evolution. Its all based on perception. Just don't get so upset, this is a rather touchy issue...

The thing about hypothesises becoming theories is that there has to be a way we can test hypothesises. And as I am aware of it, there is no way to adequately test such things as 'intelligent design'. Which is why intelligent design is more of a hypothesis than a true theory.

from wikipedia:

In science, a theory is a proposed description, explanation, or model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theory which explains why the apple behaves so is the current theory of gravitation.

[Hi no Seijin]

I don't think we're supposed to understand it.  Especially if you approach science with a religious view and rather explain everything away by saying "Oh, that's just how God wanted it to be like."
