		<description>"It has fallen into the same trap of which science has accused religion. It posits its entire interpretive rationale on something which is unobservable and untested."

Science does not accuse religion of anything. Some scientists (who may be religions) may accuse some other religious persons of confusing a description of a moral foundation for the universe (which must be accepted and practiced by creatures with free will) with a description of the physical origin of the universe (which exists independently and does not depend upon those creatures).</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;"Christian maths books, because sometimes, maths isn't religious enough"&lt;/i&gt;.

What the **** does &lt;i&gt;"Why does 2+2=4?"&lt;/i&gt; have to do with maths.

Also &lt;i&gt;That’s why we say if our textbooks aren’t the best in their field, then they’re not Christian enough&lt;/i&gt;, because everyone knows that christianity=right.</description>

		<description>"To see how cockamamie that is, imagine them arguing that the Establishment Clause would be violated by teaching a calculus class that only expresses the ‘worldview’ of mathematics without any sense of the divine."

Um, cockamamie or not ...

Bob Jones University Press: "Who needs a Christian math book? You do."

... "2 + 2 equals 4 whether you're a Christian or not," right? To most people that phrase sums up their belief that in certain areas there need be no difference between a Christian textbook and a non-Christian one. But what 2 + 2 equals is only a tiny piece of math. Far more important questions in math would be "Why does 2 + 2 = 4" or "Why does it matter?" Questions like those are the stuff of a worldview, something all textbooks -- even math ones -- communicate, and those questions will be answered differently by different worldviews.</description>

		<description>WOW! To use a phrse I have learned from Pharyngula. This guy is absolutely filled with fuckwittery. It's obvious that that the fundies feeel the need to equate science with religion to even stand a chance. It's not and never will be.</description>
