In our Thursday small group, I said that religion was my moral compass. Upon further reflection, I also want to add that religion is the foundation upon which my immortal soul rests whereas science is the foundation upon which my mortal body rests. I also said that I thought comparative religion should be taught in school from a historical perspective. I’m not sure I stand by that right now – I need to spend more time thinking about the positives and negatives of such a course. But I do still stand by believing that Darwin’s theory of evolution as well as other theorist’s perception of evolution should be taught in the schools. Understanding the process by which these theorists have come by their theories – teaches a young person how to question their world and perhaps stimulate them to take it one step further.
