Teach children that science says there is no God, for example, when science says no such thing. Same with all indoctrination... It's teaching something which isn't true.
I love science. I'm awed by it, and respect it absolutely. I never knowingly compromise it.
Yes it's the humans which misrepresent it. Just like you misrepresent faith.
SCIENTISTS.......are not the tool, they use the tool of SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
Again you are trying to treat the human as being the hammer itself.
Scientific method is not a human, it is a tool, it what a human uses. Hitler used "scientists" to make weapons and even torture people.
Ethical scientists will challenge other scientists they think are using it to do bad things. Just like ethical doctors will call out bad doctors and have their licences removed or even to the point of having them arrested.
You are not making an argument. You are making a dodge to justify cherry picking science and ignoring what conflicts with your beliefs.
No I am not misrepresenting "faith" either. It is also an excuse to hid behind warm fuzzy feelings and wishful thinking.
