I feel that darwinism, which is a science and has factual evidence backing it, should be taught in schools. However in regards to religion, I feel that that is a separate topic that is already taught outside of schools, in church. Also to teach religion in schools would require teaching every religion practiced in that area.
ReplyDeleteCreation should not be taught as a science, like Darwinism is.
ReplyDeleteCreation=philosophy b/c there is no traceable evidence.
Darwin's Theory=science b/c there is clear evidence, i.e. DNA.

Creationism should never be taught as a science. It isn't one. It never will be. Like I said in class months ago, I'm the hard ass. Religion needs to stay out of public schools. Darwinism is all fact, backed by science, undeniable. Let's keep the truth in schools.
ReplyDeleteI do think creationism should be taught in schools, but not as a science. ABSOLUTELY NOT as science, but everyone should be educated in both.
ReplyDeleteScience has to be proven by fact, so Creationism wouldn't fall under that category. It could be taught as philosophy.
ReplyDeleteDid God place dinosaur bones in the ground and age them millions of years to test our faith?
ReplyDeleteAll jokes aside, creationism definitely falls under philosophy in my opinion and should be taught as such. I have no problem with it being in schools as long as it is not competing with Darwinism and is not considered a science.
