I think it is very interesting especially since the Darwinists that rebelled against the church did so because of a stance the church had taken that things like, oh... vacuums and novas couldn't exist because it would mean that the prefect creation of God was changeable.
Think for a second about why that is so funny...
The science that they founded created a system where everything was based on slow incremental growth that couldn't happen any faster then a time they set based on carbon dating being.... set and unchangeable.
Personally I think it is hilarious. They tried to change everything and all they did was embrace an unproven belief that rejected change.
In the meantime this belief that religion was anti-science and fantasy grew to such a level that eventually the sciences became flatly antagonistic to anyone with a belief in god trying to study it (in spite of the fact that many of the greatest minds in science were all religious). To go into science and retain your religion now days means facing persecution, potentially losing your job, and being denied funding by institutions and governments alike if you dare to speak openly on the subject. Still the number of religious scientists are growing and those willing to face that to increase knowledge have nothing but my respect.
As for parents not influencing their children, don't be silly, of course they influence their children merely by raising them. To not teach your children what you believe is shear negligence. They are living thinking beings and when the children become adults they can choose for themselves whether or not to believe then act accordingly.
@dark1angel what do you mean by "a lord"?
