"Trying to find flaws in scientific theories and hypotheses is called science."

Exactly. However trying to punch those holes with a bible isn't anything that needs to be in the science classroom.

The Bible is not a science book, I grant you that. But making an enemies list out of those who "punch holes" in scientific theories does not advance the search for knowledge.

Almost by definition science and its theories progress and changes as our understanding of the world deepens and folks step forward to challenge accepted truths. Conversely, belief is static. Religion does not take challenges to belief well.

Those who are fighting to have belief taught as science will very quickly find themselves outraged over what they feel are attacks on their belief systems.
