Posted by Hemant Mehta in Over at Conversation at the Edge, 8th grader Ben had a wonderful homework assignment: Cut out short phrases and paste them under the categories of Science Is… or Science Is Not…
Some of the phrases include:
– Democratic
– Limited to the natural world
– Fair
– Based on Faith
– Disprovable
Ben says:
… the same person that insisted that God was able to be studied by science also insisted to the teacher that angels could be part of science… The teacher replied that angels weren’t part of the natural word, they were supernatural… The other person said that “Well the other people in my group don’t believe in God so they can’t see an angel! It’s like santa claus, you can’t see him unless you believe in him.”
Why couldn’t my Science classes ever be this fun…?
