Evolution in public schools

[fakeitormakeit]

I believe in creationism and of course evolution is a part of life (adaptation is proof) but creationism is religion and not science so I think that evolution should be taught, if you want go to a private school like me or CCD.

 

 

 

Btw just to clear things up the Pope and the catholic church say science is great as long as you don't use it for evils.

Creationism isn't science though. Science studies natural theories and evolution fits that, whereas Creationism is a supernatural theory. Teach creationism in religion/philosophy class and keep evolution in the science classroom.

 

 

 

The problem is that science is FACT. When a subject such as how we came to be is so highly debated, you can't preach a theory as fact. Now, feel free to put Evolution in theoretical science if you wish, but don't tell me it's the truth.

 

 

 

OT: As mentioned in another post, I literally walked out of my Biology class when the teacher started Evolution. She said, "What are you doing??!!??!?!" And I calmly replied "I refuse to learn the lies of those who refuse to realize that the Bible is truth."

 

 

 

Religious arrogance? Some would say so. But it had to be done. And, she didn't teach Evolution that year! Went straight to Astronomy...in hindsight, I think I'd rather be taught lies...Man that teacher could've bored Ben Stein to death.

 

 

 

Nope, science always involves some degree of theory. You ever learn about gravity, disease or atoms? All involve theoretical components. Science is the methodology to explain facts and come up with theory and more facts. Progressively we begin to know more but theory is an essential element in doing this.

 

 

 

Also, evolution is only highly debated in the public sphere. There is no debate as to whether evolution happened at all in the scientific community.

Yet another person who never learned what the word Theory means.

Please, keep your self from learning, but do not keep others from learning. That is completely ignorant.

It's not ignorant, it's arrogant. And yes, what he did was stupid and what he says in that post is ignorant. I don't care if I'm being blunt, but warri0r's got the basic good-hearted explanation down, so I'm telling this kid the truth.

 

 

 

I don't care if I appear arrogant for not thinking that Creationism has any scientific value, but this kid's gotta realize that there's a world beyond Christianity. Evolution is a fact and a theory, and as warri0r stated, there's no debating it's validity. Get out of your little hole, see a little light, and try and open your worldview. Before you choose to reject something, try and actually understand it first.

 

 

 

As for my statement about suspension, to walk out on science class when the teacher starts on evolution just because the little kid doesn't even understand the topic deserves at least a weeks detention. That's skipping out on class, at the very least.

[fakeitormakeit]

I'm a faithful Roman Catholic myself and I'm pretty sick of some people just tunning out anything of scientific value, as I said above the church says science is great until its used for evil or life taking purposes but some people these days just won't even listen to reason or learn a thing or two about evolution.

You're right, it's supreme arrogance nurtured from a religious upbringing. Poor teacher, must be hard dealing with kids who are so close-minded.

You know why the social conditioning leviathan called fundamentalism works? Because they breed the mentality that they know they are right as a matter of fact therefore it's evolutionists who are being closed minded to the truth of the bible. It's the epitome of delusion; the thought of arrogance or closed-mindedness never crosses thier mind. It's only the outside observers that see this.

 

 

 

That's my humble observation of the situation anyway.

[leila]

The study of evolution belongs in the science classroom.

 

The study of creationism belongs in the theology classroom.

If you accept a metaphorical translation of the bible you can believe in both.

I wonder where biblical literalists draw the line, if at all. Do they believe being born of a virgin is possible? Walking on water? If they call these miracles then why not call the creation of life on earth a miracle and not pretend it's factually true? Answer: because science has worked out the answer and it dosen't involve what it says in the bible. It's known that being born of a virgin or walking on water is physically impossible thus they are called miracles, but the creation of life by a supernatural entity must be factually accurate?
