Thread Name: Children and religion
Subject: RE: Children and religion
Problem with all that great argument, Amos, is that it is built on the premise that the two are mutually exclusionary. Generations of scientists raised in religious homes would beg to differ. In fact I believe that a great many scientists were taught critical thinking while simultaneously being raised with a religion. Many later rejected their early training, laying waste to the contention that somehow they were irreparably handicapped in their ability to come to different conclusions, and others faith was made stronger by the realization that there is much science cannot explain.
