I don't believe in evolution, I believe in creationism. And I am not a Christian.
I think it is good to teach creationism in schools, but teach the evolutionism too.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about anybody from Jesusland posting here. There's not way they have Internet access. There's too much evil pornography and gambling. Oh, way, I forgot, tons of those Bible thumping hypocrites love pornography.
[disclaimer]These statements do not represent my feelings toward every one in Jesusland, just a select minority. And besides, it's not like you can sue me anyway! Hell, the United Providence of Canada and the New England Conglomerate don't even recognize Jesusland as a sovereign nation![/disclaimer][wink]

I predict this thread is going to end in a flaming ball of troll fire. I will let my sig do the talking.
Anyways, I say both have their flaws and strong points.

BTW, just to make it clear, I believe in both creation and evolution. I believe that we did evolve, but our evolution was/is controlled by some higher force (such as God). When I say god I don't mean Jehova.

That's my thinking as well, except that last part. But I still think religious explanations should be kept out of public schools.
Quote:Original post by RaduprvOk, your first post made it seem like you totally don't believe in evolution. I don't have any problem whatsoever with people believing what they choose to believe. I have a problem when schools try to dictate beliefs.

It's the people who want prayer required in public schools that bother me. (I know they're out there too). I have no problem with people praying all they want in school. Just don't force it on people.
You know what? I say don't teach either creationism or evolution in public school. It's not like you can adequately cover either in a high school class. I remember my biology teacher just glazed over the whole thing for this very same reason.
Just save this stuff for college where professors can pretty much teach however, and whatever they want.
It's like my honors classes in college. We read Darwin and the Holy Bible in the same class. (Not a biology class though). Makes for interesting discussions.
I think the students should be presented with both the theories. They are (IMHO) interdependent. You can't have one without the other. But I do agree that they should eliminate the religion from it.
Well, some religion is involved, but instead of getting into religious details, you just explain that the chance for life to create and improve itself without intelligent outside intervention is minimal.
Creationism is depracated. The new thing is "Intelligent Design." It's more "scientific" that way.
