    Well, it's a christian school, so it's probably obvious.

    I believe in Evolution and Panspermia among many other things, I go to a Protestant and Catholic school, and I do not believe in God. As much as I believe it and research all the things I believe in - there's information 'holes' in them. They are also only theories, not undisputed fact. And yet Schools teach them as if they've been proven to be right and fact usual and completely skirt around the missing links.

    In my part of England at least, all schools are Christian schools. They can be private or public - it doesn't matter here. They all have a mandatory participation thingy in religious education. Even most of the Science teachers try to correlate everything back to a God.

    Interesting. To be honest it's probably better than America's system.

    Meh. I personally am religious so I wouldn't mind that. But I do look at things very logically and can see why that would drive 99% of atheists crazy. So much for "religious freedom" right UK?

    I personally don't mind it. In my school they try their best not to try and convert you to Christianity. They teach you about the 'culture' side of religousness from Years 7 to Year 9 - which is the side I enjoy. Once you hit senior years (Year 10 to Year 11), its just exam questions where you put your opinions down and having really short and one-sided debates >.>

    Well, we have a subject all about religion, but that also takes care of the Islam and Jews. Our teacher actually doesn't try too hard to make people christian...
    We also have mandatory starts of the days, but most teachers don't do something religious for it.

    What schools teach you are facts which have been determined by theories which have been extensively tested and proven, mainly by accurately predicting things. Obviously we can't be completely sure whether this is really the truth or not, but it's the best we have and there is very little to dispute it.

    mba, I agree with you, but there are some theories that have more evidence than others. For example, everyone accepts the theory of gravity as true fact, but a ton of people don't believe in the theory of evolution which has much less evidence behind it and they still teach it as fact.

    Theories are not "proven" by "evidence." They become more widely accepted when someone tries to disprove it. Nothing can be proven in science. At least modern day concept of it.

    That the theory of parallel universes is ABSOLUTELY 100% correct, Newtonian Gravity is ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT, etc.

    Well, the theory of parallel universes has been proven by so many theories, it might not be true, but the evidence is there.

    As mba said, they aren't 100% true. Or they would be fact not theories.
