Reply #72: I had a public education. And in New York...

never was confronted with anything but current scientific information.

Later on as a math teacher, who was sometimes pressed into science teaching, I had students (rarely) who wanted me to give time to other theories. Usually, I would launch into the definition of what is science routine, keeping it as objective as possible.

Once or twice, sticking my neck out, I asked them if they thought their pastor would invite me over to give equal time to evolution. Considering I needed the job, that was dumb, but none of them pursued it further.

I have lots of friends, and their religious views don't concern me, unless, of course, my views concern them.
