Science: We don't know what started the big bang, and under current laws of physics, never CAN know. --- End quote --- Heh....seems only fair to say: Religion: God made the stars, the Earth, the plants, the animals, and the people. We don't know what started God, and under current laws of....erm...supernatural parents with magic powers who don't want us to have access to very much information, never CAN know... :P Oh yeah, and the earth is approx. 6000 years old. --- End quote --- No, religion says NOTHING made God because God always HAS been forever and ever. Oh yeah... and that to question this answer is to doom yourself to eternal damanation because although God loves everyone, he doesn't mind sticking people in pits of fire for asking questions. |

When you say god loves everyone, don't you mean she loves all her children and doesn't mind sticking her children in pits of fire for asking questions? |

Drilling and repetition and rote memory is how most things are taught to children. That's how they learn math, science, history, English... hell, that's how they learn to hit a ball. |

You also have to teach children how to think for themselves i.e. logic, reasoning, creativity etc. Actually these faculties are probably innate but good teaching helps to bring them out. And it depends upon the subject. There is for instance very little rote learning in maths. If you tried to pass a maths exam simply by learning a maths book by heart you wouldn't get very far. |
