Every single person on the face of the earth has religious beliefs: an explanation for the beginning and ending of all material matter and life and a purpose for living. These form the principles of ethics for life for each single individual.
Each person also has philosophic or reasoned applications of these principles which are played out in their morality for living.
All mankind practice science when each person learns to manipulate his physical environment for the "comfort of living" etc. This is seen in the wife cooking her families' meals and how she chooses to combine and cook parts of the meals.Science involves the observation and manipulation of one's physical environment for any number of purposes: building a road, house, new medicine etc. Nothing More!
An "Evolutionist" is just as religious as a "Creationist". They both take the observations of empirical observed science and place them into a religio-philosophic worldview. There are no direct observations of true evolving life forms nor of creating (ex nihilo) life forms today.The observations of "nature" are placed into the framework (religio-philosphical) of the person or persons when they are wanting to give meaning to what they are observing.
We, as parents, need to teach our children to think critically. And I am biased. I believe that the complex structures of life forms argue for a Designer not some random, really un-discovered principles in "nature". I choose to Honor God. To God be the Glory for His Righteousness and Holiness, Longsuffering and Mercy.

"Biologists and other groups have tried to prevent creationism from being taught at our schools and universities, arguing that it is religious or Biblical. They do not seem to want students to hear or see scientific evidence that life could not have developed by chance. One may wonder why scientists, and particularly academics who have devoted their entire careers to seeking new truths, often under great personal hardship, would want to oppose another viewpoint based on available evidence. We believe that the basic reason for this opposition does not so much involve disputations of scientific facts between the two parties, although this may sometimes occur, but rather is a continuing struggle between two faiths—the faith which claims man to be dependent on God, and the faith which rejects God and demands a purely mechanical universe and existence...." see above link for the entire article.
"In the context of discussing the Noah Flood Account a correct understanding of it as a narrative can be better ascertained by a correct understanding of the fields of religion, science, and philosophy. These three categories are part of the fabric of every human being. How one views and integrates them together will affect their views on the Noah Flood Account..." see above link for more information.
