Science is verifiable by anyone through detection, evidence and experiment. Religion is not.

Religion requires people to believe things without verifiable evidence and to put their trust in authority and tradition.

Nope remove all crosses; all mention of god no prayers in school no bible in schools REMOVE IT ALL!!

GOBRIEN; Thanks.. you just made my day - (chuckle).
Glad I could make you (chuckle). If you want your child to have a good foundation in religion, teach them at home and go to church, and send them to a religious-based private school. I went to school a long time ago and there were no bibles or crosses in my public school, although we did recite the pledge of allegiance every morning.

school is for teaching & learning

What is the name of the most famous prestigious university in the world??

Harvard

What was the sole purpose of Harvard University ? (hint: it is engraved in stone at the entrance)

ANS: To teach young men the scriptures!

I'm not interested one bit what you think - I am interested in our history that is carved in stone and in blood on all our sacred documents and in all court houses

In God We Trust those words are: OUR NATIONAL MOTTO

Why don't you go rant, rave and preach on a street corner, Eves, instead of trying to make yet another thread here all about you?
