Religion and Education haven't mixed since the days of Galileo, Kepler, Darwin, Brahe, Darwin.
Er, you might not want to include Tycho Brahe; he rejected heliocentrism (the thought that things revolve around the sun) in lieu of geocentrism (the thought that things revolve around the earth) mostly for religious reasons.
It's interesting to note that Brahe's own measurements were used against him by Kepler to prove that heliocentrism was likely to be correct, but now I'm getting off on a tangent on science, so I'll stop.
