> I went to high school and college so deep in the bible belt you could put an empty Coke can to your ear and hear banjo music and our textbooks still didn't have anything like that bullshit. I can honestly say that I do see a “spiritual dimension” to a lot of things that are accepted science. I can’t imagine trying to get that into a textbook. Science is about objective reality. Belief is by definition subjective, so it can’t be “science”. If it’s not science, it shouldn’t be in a science textbook. If you want to teach it, teach it in world religions, theology, anthropology, or philosophy. If you have to, make an essay on the topic part of “language arts”. Just don’t try to dress it up as “science”, because it’s not.
