What would happen is they would maybe imagine they existed, but they would never really think they actually existed. They could also ask "where did the universe come from", but since they were not taught at a very early age that god created the universe, they would investigate the only way they can to try and find the answer.
You also don't have to teach a kid that the Theory of Evolution exists. They can find out themselves. They would naturally ask questions like "Where do babies come from?" and "how do I have arms and legs?" and "why do people die from AIDS?" |
And you'd have to explain it to them. And to prevent them from asking questions such as "did aliens seed the earth?" you'd have to teach them to accept only answerable scientific questions as valid and reject anything not measurable or testable.
In the end your still teaching just like religion is taught. Science is NOT a natural answer that anyone can apply to every situation because teaching it and accepting it as valid across every question requires indocrination.
