God vs. Science

I'm not sure where you wanted to go with this, either. It's pretty unrealistic, here's a list:

1. A professor in high school? Usually they're teachers.
   ​
2. A science teacher who begins the school year with a lecture about God? Seems extremely unlikely, plus it violates separation of church and state.
   ​
3. A science teacher who doesn't know that cold is the absence of heat?
   ​
4. A science teacher who doesn't know that dark is the absence of light?
   ​
5. A science teacher who teaches that humans evolved from monkeys?
   ​
6. A science teacher who believes science only studies the directly observable?

Your story postulates a high school science teacher who has many of the misconceptions about science that creationists have.--Percy

The claim that education outside vocational schools has little or no practical benefit is so obviously wrong that there seems no need to actually rebut it. Just let it stand.It is relevant to note that some people do not learn well in formal learning environments, and this is probably where the belief by some that "book lernin` tain't worth much" comes from. While it is true that some people can graduate from an institution of learning having actually learned little, the generalization that this is true of everyone is obviously false.--Percy

What is the relevance of this question to this thread? If you really want to discuss whether diplomas have value then you should probably start a thread over at the [forum=-14].--Percy
