We see this, of course, in the conflict concerning creation science. Some educators representing, as they think, the conscience of science act much like those legislators who in 1925 prohibited by law the teaching of evolution in Tennessee. In that case, anti-evolutionists were fearful that a scientific idea would undermine religious belief. Today, pro-evolutionists are fearful that a religious idea will undermine scientific belief. The former had insufficient confidence in religion; the latter insufficient confidence in science. The point is that profound but contradictory ideas may exist side by side, if they are constructed from different materials and methods and have different purposes. Each tells us something important about where we stand in the universe, and it is foolish to insist that they must despise each other.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Neil Postman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/neil-postman/educators-may-bring-upon-themselves-unnecessary-travail-by-taking-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/822/neil-postman-1598_creation-science_educators-may-bring-upon-themselves-unne_2293875.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/822/neil-postman-1598_creation-science_educators-may-bring-upon-themselves-unne_2293875.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/822/neil-postman-1598_creation-science_educators-may-bring-upon-themselves-unne_2293875.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Educators may bring upon themselves unnecessary travail by taking a tactless and unjustifiable position…” — Neil Postman", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/creation-science/neil-postman/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/creation-science/neil-postman/", "name": "Creation science Quotes by Neil Postman", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/creation-science/neil-postman/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/822/neil-postman-1598_creation-science_educators-may-bring-upon-themselves-unne_2293875.jpg" }, "description": "1 Creation science quotes by Neil Postman.
