How to pass on the truth to our next generations
-
As the topic suggests, I want your opinion on how should we disseminate our understanding of truth to our future generations where both religion and science claims to offer often competing views. Should we teach only science in our curriculum and teach nothing about religion or should we include some of our views on religion. Should we teach one religion or teach only the common points of all religion. How should we arrive at a very unbiased view of truth? Is it at all possible?

Religion isn't truth, it should have absolutely no space in schools with the exeption of being a subject withing History classes.

I'm sure it isn't praying.

Sayimg "cure for cancer" is uncorrect since there are hundreds of different types of cancer. An efficient cure is possible if you know as much as possible about that particular type of cancer you want to cure.
Science is trying to do it, religion doesn't. Science is based on facts, religion is based on superstition. Science is willing to be corrected if some new discovery disproves previous discoveries (of course, the new one must be proved), religion doesn't admit corrections. -
equee, your views on religion are as simplistic and inadequate as many religious people's view of science

that's what we do here. kids learn a bit of monotheist religions in history when they are about 11 years old. But that's very simple , just basic dates, and facts.. probably 5 hours in the whole year. That's mainly because we decided religion had nothing to do with public life, schools, state, government are all 'outside ' religion. So religion is only for your own private life and school is not there to teach you religion beliefs, if you need more info ,just ask the local church or whatever. Showing for instance a cross (as a pendant) around your neck outside of your clothes and you are expelled. (same stuff for any other religion).
Then they are private school for religious people.
