According to Max Weber, religion is an institution that is based on man's cultural needs and has added capabilities to human development and human life. In his book “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” Weber argues that the values of the Protestant institution and its ethics have played an important role in the economy of Western countries. His study focused on how a religious sect can influence the economic behavior of its followers. Weber's main concern was to know to what extent religious conceptions of the world of existence have an impact on the economic behavior of Western societies. According to Weber, the strongest influence on the development of capitalism was the Calvinist sect of the Protestant religion. Weber examines The fear of teaching Darwinian science is present in our society especially in the American South where an endless debate is underway because according to Darwin all species of organisms are born and develop through natural selection which increases the individual's capacity to compete, reproduce and survive by risking and questioning the creation of the world by a God. As humans we are in an era where technology and new sciences are emerging and it is very important to have cultural knowledge of Darwinian sciences because no other theory has had such a significant effect on the foundations of the modern world, on our perception of nature, the evolution of life and, consequently, the perception of ourselves as human beings and our place in the world . We know as reasonable human beings that we must study and continue to discover and explore our world, the place we live, but our values, even though the incorporation of Darwinian sciences into the schools and universities of the American South may seem logical, the Our values and our ideas (in this case, the idea of studying a science in which God does not create our world) certainly influence the making of certain decisions. It is our beliefs and values that help shape our behavior. This is what Weber links between religious beliefs and economic behavior. ReligionSome states have banned the teaching of evolution, and a series of landmark Supreme Court decisions have blocked the ability to teach Darwinian science. The problem in the United States is that many states agree and consider passing laws that give teachers permission to feel free to question scientific theories including the theory of evolution, but controversy arises when other states of the southern United States, including Colorado and Florida, do not. I don't want to consider passing the same law. However, the states of Oklahoma, Missouri and Virginia plan to pass this law, but it has not yet been passed. Conversely, those who oppose these laws argue that teaching Darwinian science could replace religious notions, leaving students with a gap in understanding the origins and development of life. The future of a civilization is in the hands of the young, so if a new science emerged and supported the existence of God a new era would develop in which fewer people would believe in a supernatural force and religion could disappear. On the other hand, if students studied Darwinian science they could judge scientific truth. Religious conservatives can be seen rejecting Darwinian science because they think it promotes a morally corrupting materialism. However, I would like to
