Out of a high school graduation class of 1000, how many will go on to a career in science? Say that 700 of them go on to college and that 300 go into the work force. Of the 700, 100 decide they want to major in physics or chemistry. Of them 70 get weeded out. You now have 30 people who will continue. The other 970 people will be better served with an education that focuses on creationism. We are living in a time with relative ethics. We are living in an increasing secular society, where life means little. We all watched in horror as the Teri Shiavo in Florida was starved to death. That never should have happened, in the light that there is information that her husband might have beat her the night she collapsed, and the uncertainty of her wishes. Even our most prized and well written scientists believe in God. Einstein believed in God, he was quoted as saying "I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are just details".

This is a facetious post I am assuming.
If not then yes of course humankind would be better off living according to ancient fairy tales written and orally passed down by superstitious, frightened goat herders - the fairy tales where slavery is condoned, where this omnipotent God causes death and destruction at his whim out of anger, where homosexuals are to be killed, where innocent people are made to suffer while this God who can do anything sits by and watches, where people with dark skin are cursed lesser beings. "We are living in an increasing secular society, where life means little" - yes, the secular world of science can't compare to the fairy tale world of God, his world is a better world where millions suffered and died because God wanted them to, he was teaching them a lesson. Shame on the secular world for saving so many lives with its blasphemous science.
Religion breeds ignorance, its relies on ignorance, desperation and fear. You if your post isn't a joke are a prime example. Einstein did not believe in any God like the one who stars in your fairy tales. Einstein was a pantheist, as were most of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The 'God' or 'Creator' Einstein and Washington and Jefferson referred to was not the imaginary old man sitting on a throne in the sky from the Bible.
Our lack of morals and ethics have little to do with secularism. People don't need fairy tales to teach them right and wrong, they need good parents and a just society to do that.
