<p>[Judge</a> says UC can deny religious course credit](<a href=“http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/12/BAQT129NMG.DTL&tsp=1]Judge”>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/12/BAQT129NMG.DTL&tsp=1)</p>

<p>Definitely interesting. I’m with the University of California on this one.</p>

<p>Oohh. That is interesting. </p>

<p>I’m also with the UC on this one. “Freedom of religion” doesn’t mean that inadequate prep courses based on a certain religion should be accepted. Though, I have to wonder what kinds of things (other than the whole thing about evolution) that the texts didn’t address properly. I would think that teaching about cells and animal behavior would be the same in both religious and secular realms.</p>

<p>For example:
Secular: The mitochondria supply the cell with energy in the form of ATP.
Religious: The mitochondria supply the cell with energy in the form of ATP. </p>

<p>Kind of hard to debate that one…</p>
