You seem to be awfully confused. You refer to "what is unknown and yet to be proven scientifically." What do you mean by that? Science never has all the answers. It is the study of the unknown. There is always much left to be proven. That is the nature of science.
Hey Rick, your coming around. You admit science never has all the answers. I thought you were the one who was confused.
Now I know you are rational enough to admit that some theories do not havescientifically provable answers ! If they do not are they to be discarded? Are they to be forbidden in academe? I think not!

I was taught that education was designed to broaden the mind and open it to several points of view. Allow people to think! Sure kids should be exposed to the theory of evolution in science classes..but whats wrong with exposing them to theories that have not been scientifically proved? Isn't that the way we pique the curiosity of those who might seek solutions?


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
