you say that you views are non denominational. for jews this is all well and good…we can all (ideally) learn all day. goyim however dont have that option what would they do? after high school go to 4 EXTRA years of college because their high school education was bare bones??? your idea is completely impractical, and childish. also, aside from goyim, jews too have to get jobs. high paying jobs. first of all because we have big families, and second of all, because kollelim thrive on donors. if we all are sitting in kolel because when we get into college we fall behind, who will support the kollelim? ela mai…you say if people want that kind of education in college…college is tedious enouigh without having to learn high school material.
as for science, yes. let’s open that can of worms. there is nothing wrong with the learning of science. absolutely nothing. there is something wrong with SCIENTISTS not science. learning in intricate detail, about how everything works together so perfectly, and so mathematically exact, makes a person appreciate mah rabu maasecha hashem. the only problem with science would be they way it is presented. if it is presented from the point of view that god is a completely arbitrary entity and not to be understood, and therefore if you do understand why things happen…that disproves god, then yes! science is wrong! if however you simply learn how perfect our world, and how things work and why they work, and how hashem set our world in motion and keeps it in motion, it can be an incredible boost to your emunah.
