"...if they speak not according to this Word it is because there is no light in them".(Isa.8:19)"
Don't expect the world to give equal validity to God's Word.

The seperation of church and state is different than the seperation of science and state.
This is because science, by its nature, is changeable and adaptable, depending upon new information received. What is 'true' in today's science book can be proven innacurate or false in a latter edition. This occurs quite often, which is why science books are constantly being updated, often yearly.
Because religious beliefs are considered unchangeable, unquestionable, and/or unverifiable, to teach them alongside scientific beliefs undermines the process by which science is governed.
Religion and science look at the same problem but from different vantage points: science can only accept what can be proven; religion has no such restrictions. Hearsay and speculation do not fulfill the requirements of what constitutes a scientific principal, but at the same time, if science cannot prove there is a god, neither can it deny it.
The theory of relativity is not taught in bible study class, and creationism does not belong in a biology class. Issues of science affect people across broad religious and social spectrums equally (a muslim, a christian and a jew fall off a building at the same rate of descent) but issues of faith affect people as individuals (a muslim, a christian and a jew rise to meet their God according to similar yet different viewpoints).
Besides, if religious-minded people have so much faith in God, why are they afraid of science? Did the water jesus walk on not conform to the molecular understanding of water as H2O? Did the fish Jesus fed to the 5000 not have gills or scales? Would samples of the wine created at Cana be revealed to be colored water, or would they be of an aged and distinct vintage, with specific physical properties that would elucidate their make-up?
To say that science is anathema to God is to fail to see how God expresses itself through the world (do not 2 angels, who meet 2 angels, make a group of 4 angels?)

They will never. Here is the reason:
God is involved in the "intelligent design" theory. Or a "creator". Something bigger than ourselves.
Evolution is humanities way of explaining where we came from due to lack of faith. We have to always "find a reason". No one ever just has faith anymore.
Its quite depressing. If you think about it, in history there were many of our ancestors and leaders that had to have faith or they couldn't have accomplished what they did. The world was flat? The British are coming? The Wild West. Many humans way back when had incredible faith to overcome and believe they would make it through.
Evolution interestingly enough is the only theory taught in school and it isn't fact. Wonder how many other things they are teaching our children that is still only a theory.

Evolution does not promote atheism. The flagrantly ignorant Creationists promote atheism, by insisting that the Bible must be true, word for word, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Intelligent Design is a meaningless hypothesis without a shred of evidence.

Evolution doesn't sway towards atheism. Many religions accept it, as well as most people who wouldn't consider themselves atheists, but are not necessarily practicing any religion.

If they teach one or two religions, they should teach all. Usually Religion stays out of schools these days.

Firstly, atheism is not "an official religion" in the US. Secondly, ID will never be taught in school b/c there is no scientific basis for it. Teach it in church; that's where it belongs.
