of course, but I suppose the debate here is how to properly define "teaching science"
further, I don't necessarily disagree with exposing kids to religious beliefs in the classroom..
when I was a kid in school we learned about all the world cultures and religions.. in 7th grade history we spent months learning about Islam and Hinduism, learning their myths and religion and history, and no body was complaining that they were trying to convert us to Islam.. quite the contrary they were just exposing us to different belief systems and cultures of the world, which made me a rounder more open minded person in regards to my own religion.
just a thought..
