I found this discussion on a website that discusses Christian education but I feel it is relevant to us too.
Dualism is a problem when we try to separate our spiritual and academic lives. Dualism is an attempt to live by two different world views, with part of life subject to one master and the rest of life subject to another. How can we teach students from a Christian world view when it concerns spiritual things, and teach from a secular world view for academics? God intends human life to be a whole—not split between mutually contradictory motivations and purposes:
Personally I accept science and the scientific findings and still endorse a spiritual perspective of the world. I don’t have to object to teaching of science classes and fight evolution theories or other aspects of science. Sure it is a question that we have to think about and not neglect. How can everything exist in accordance to the Kabbala and still allow room for secular research. If one goes deeper and think of many things written in the scriptures as symbols and signs for some deeper true than it is O.K not to insist that the world was created six thousands years ago in its perfect form. Each creation day could signify eons. Would we reject modern medicine because it is a part of secular science? I think not! Many people find there own balance between opening to the scientific discoveries and nurturing their spiritual beliefs, in Kabbala terms I would call it the difference between the seen truth and the actual deeper truth.
