  It creates an uncomfortable atmosphere in the classroom, Williamson says , one that he doesn't like."I don't want to ever be in a confrontational mode with those kids s a teacher."

  Brad Williamson, a biology teacher at Kansas' Olathe East High School, was vocal in his opposition to the attempts of some state board of education members to remove evolution from Kansas' curriculum a few years ago.He tells students from the outset that his class will focus on science, not religion.But he says he also acknowledges to them that there are mysteries in the natural world that the scientific community does not yet understand, such as what came before the Big Bang.
  
  "That sure does leave a lot of room for religious revelation," said Mr. Williamson, who works in the 24,000-student Olathe Unified School District 233.
  
  He recalled a recent conversation he had with two students who typically brought Bibles with them to his biology class.One day, after hearing the two girls talk about Islam, a subject they said they had been introduced to at their Christian church, Mr. Williamson asked if they thought their church was trying to convert them to that religion.
