1. God created it all.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Gen 1:1)2. Science affirms God.
since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Rom 1:20)3. God desires to have a relationship with us.
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)we do not believe...
that the science classroom is the place to debate religion, philosophy and world views. Therefore we advocate strict adherence to precise language, unbiased statements, and data-driven conclusions. And we recognize that scientists are just as vulnerable to making biased statements as any one else.The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) stresses the importance of keeping unscientific teaching out of the classroom. They cite the court case MCLEAN V. ARKANSAS (1982) which provides the following “legal” definition of the essential characteristics of science
(1) It is guided by natural law;
(2) It has to be explanatory by reference to natural law;
(3) It is testable against the empirical world;
(4) Its conclusions are tentative, i.e., are not necessarily the final word; and
(5) It is falsifiable.

We subscribe to these same tenets, and believe it is most important to teach children the scientific method, and how to think critically within the above framework to be able weigh evidence and draw their own informed conclusions.
