I was about to say, what do you mean by "church science", but another responder got there first. This sounds to me like a contradiction in terms.

The vast majority of Jehovah's Witness schoolchildren attend public schools, so in most cases it is professional educators who teach Witness children about math and science. Jehovah's Witness parents take seriously their obligation to provide their children with a spiritual education, but Jehovah's Witnesses do not use the expression "church science" and so likely do not teach it.

Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that true science harmonizes with the bible.

"i was raised in a jehovah's witness home--yeah, i know :(--and was told that there were never any dinosaurs or cavemen, that human history went back no further than 2,000 years, and that civilization would one day be completely wiped out, and then the earth would be repopulated by the witnesses themselves, including the ones dead and buried, who would, naturally, be resurrected. all of this was taught with the straightest of faces, though i am sure i don't know how they pulled it off. i can't even type this stuff without chuckling.

Not only are you a lier , but your also a retard.
No religion teaches those things
I feel free to insult you b/c not only is your post an insult to everybody with half a brain, but your name is also offensive.
As for Jehovah's witnesses they have books and magazines that talk about evolution. They left one at my house one day.

I have never heard of church science. I cannot speak for what all churches believe or teach but I would think some would rightly teach not only their kids ut all people not to swallow everything they hear regardless of who is demanding it of them. I am guessing this is some kind of reference to the whole evolution debate. I would like to point out that as many people know there is more than one theory of evolution and it is questioned and disagreed upon sometimes strongly by those holding various positions. This is where we get the differing terms Darwinists, neo-Darwinists, Salsationists, punctuated equilibrium (punk-eek) for the irreverant. So my question is is science owned by any one camp? Are only those who hold one position within those camps allowed to question it? Last time I checked science wasn't owned by anyone.

Define "Church Science". My parents, as Witnesses, taught me to know that Science and Religion go hand in hand, not one or the other.

You are really asking stupid questions. If this is supposed to be making fun of others you should realize that it certainly does not look good to anyone who would normally approve of your beliefs. What is your real thinking in doing this? This site is really a great place for discussion and expression of ideology. Why don't you show some? Have a great day, if possible without injurring others who may not share your viewpoint.

what is church science?
Jehovahs Witnesses do not worship their God,Jehovah in a 'church'.They worship in a building free of statues, idols,and crosses etc.They teach their children what the bible says.

Of Course, since they are believing in the respective Christian principles they do have the detailed Catechism and religious formalities as per the the denominations concerned.

I tell them that God created the universe and all the scientific laws in it. Is that church science?
