they reject anything that the Bible never mentioned, so what's the point in trying to educate them with science?

They need it more than anyone else. Don't write them off, they're eyes CAN be opened from the blinding shackles of faith.

Science wasted on bible-fundies?
Many christians helped set the scientific standards of today -
Kepler and Galileo come to mind right off. You should read some of their writings and biographies. They were believers in the bible and science. They didn't find the conflicts you are talking about and they are a lot smarter than you or I (would be my guess).
You shouldn't put people in catagories and say such HATEFUL things without looking at the big picture.
Why are you so angry anyway?????

No, science and believers are two different things. You asked is the study of SCIENCE wasted on BELIEVERS? I didn't know that Science was about us. So, I reject Science because I know that it is not God. Why educate someone with Science when they can go take a class. I don't want to know about animals, I have no interest in it sorry. So people who know a lot about Science are smarter than everyone else? No. What about the people who struggle with Science class , but are now Millionare's? Get outta here!!!

"If religion and science are properly understood, there can be no conflict between them." -Galileo (Maureen O'Hara article, 1995)
Perhaps you yourself are a little confused by rejecting everything that you think (emphasis added) science does not back up. I fully believe science and religion (probably not in the sense that you "know" it to be) go together. In my opinion, nobody (scientist or religious buff) can succeed without understanding the other side of the argument. So don't just go around pointing out other's faults, when we all have our own to worry about.
So, in response to your question...no, no learning is ever wasted. If they choose to reject it, that's their problem, not yours. Now what are you blindly rejecting?

That's a pretty broad statement. I believe the Bible to be 100% true - what you might be calling fundie - but I also know that God created the laws of science and I see much of it as agreeing with the truth of the Bible. The only things I disagree with are all the theories that stretch to explain away the obvious work of God. I see those as highly illogical and narrowminded. True science would allow for the possible answer of God in their search for knowledge.

Now that is just a blatant lie. I love science but I also believe the bible. Without God there would be no science.

If you were half as smart as you think you are, you would know that most scientists (PHD) do not believe the theory of evolution at all.
Because it cannot be proven.
No matter how many times you and others scream it the facts remain the same.......
So my suggestion to you is, go to bed, get some sleep and, Get over it!

That is ridiculous. I consider myself a Christian and believe in many scientific theories and principles. I believe in electricity and it isn't in the Bible. I believe in DNA as the building blocks of all living things, and I don't seem to remember a Biblical passage covering that. Your narrow, simple view of Christians is the problem here, it seems you are the one who knowledge is wasted on.

I think they ought to make high-school Biology an elective course. That way, the young-earth creationists aren't offended by 'scientism' and the kids who actually want to learn about science aren't bothered by some kid trying to bring the biology teacher to Jesus. Heck, if they want to leave school an hour early and go learn Geocentrism at the local church, that's fine with me...
