Should Creationism be taught in schools?

[TotalAnarchyUK]

I was suprised to see that there is no similar thread to this.

Should creatonism be taught in the science room?

[crazyassmetalhead]

no .

[Wolkkkk]

Science room? wtf? Of course no.
What part of it is science exactly anyway?

[hatchet]

no. ..science? lol im pretty sure they use science on a daily basis to undermine the idea of creationism. besides.. church and school should NOT be mixed. school can be rough enough. could you imagine, someone running a jihad on the christian boys in the locker room while the catholic principle "disciplines" the boys in his office. and nobody really wants to see the girlies in skirts down to their shoes.

[WetFlannel]

You can't teach creationism in schools... ESPECIALLY under the subject of science, because it was written as an explanation in the absence of science(not that science has all the answers).

If taught, i beleive it should be in the context of "Christians beleive" alongside "Muslims beleive" etc

I have never argued with a creationist and gone away thinking "o my, they had some great points" :P

[shadowhunter]

there are no more science classes in schools. Science requires Observation and reproducibility. Now forgive me but no one has seen inorganic spontainiously become organics. no one has seen bacteria become something other than bacteria. No one has seen many of the things that "science" says happened. Also, it can not be reproduced. Ok so we have fossils, we have theories as to where they came from and why we have the genetic diversity we have to day. GREAT. we have Theories. not facts. So Science would require the teaching of evolution as THEORY. these days they teach it as fact, and defend it like a fundamental Muslim would defend Mohammed against charges of pedophilia.
of course that really didn't answer the OP's question. but I say No. I also believe anyone who believes it should not want it taught in schools either.Simply because how could what is basically an anti god establishment teach properly things about god? Its like having a Muslim teaching Judaism ...not gonna be good. Anyway. Evolution should either not be taught at all (bad idea) or Taught as ONE theory of how we got here . A simple mention that there are several creation ideas out there but they are the realm of religion not science.
True science would however accept creation should scientific evidence be found. Most of the evidence of creation is also evidence of evolution. (which has more holes than swiss cheese)

[TotalAnarchyUK]

You keep saying theory alot when refering to evolution.

There is a massive difference bewteen a theory and a scientific theory.

Evolution is a scientific theory. Learn the difference.

[Blakky]

I don't think it should be taught in a science class. I'm taking a world religions class next year though, and it will probably be talked about in that class.

IT is a theory period. Calling it a scientific theory only means that its a theory about a scientific idea. This makes it no better, or more accurate than a theory about why you are a dick. I mean come on, i have my theory of it but it could be wrong, or partly wrong. Scientific FACT was that the earth is flat supported on columns on the backs of big turtles. That fact nos is known to be wrong and science has finally agreed that the "circle of the Earth hangs upon nothing" so Scientific theories are still only theories. Its not proven, and has many holes in it. More than swiss cheese. so STFU
i get so tired of people shoving their religion down my throat. and if Evolution is not a religion stop defending it like it is.

No, there is a significant difference bewteen a theory and a scientific theory.
Look it up.

[GuyFawkes]

its a oxie moron "creationist science" it should not be taught in schools because there is a difference between theory and a scientific theory like TotalAnarchyUK said but there is proof of evolution its called fossils and the only proof that creation is books made by people that say this how it happened with no evidence "if you tell a lie long enough people will believe it" - Adolf Hitler

[Buddha]

I don't have a problem with it taught in schools as long as it is in a religions of the world type class.

[Anthony477]

haha nice quote Fawkes

[GuyFawkes]

thank you kindly and it is true just look at scientology and every other religion people have made

[zaros]

I was taught creationism in school. And now I'm an atheist. I've always been the inquisitive type, so as a child hearing "well, that's just how God made it, we don't really know" didn't quite fit with me.

[LordSkweegie]

well im native american and have a differant creation story than others. and being native american we stress that yes, they are stories.

[duracell bunny]

not in science but in religion

[obnoxiousnickname]

creationism is not a scientific theory and therefore should not be taught in the classroom. Creationism is a lazy theory that says everything was created out of nothing. If I told you all the food in my f***** just appeared one day would you believe me?

Possibly. O.O
JK

but If I told you that all the matter available in existence today was compressed to a marbel and just somehow blew up and it happened to match up perfectly in place with the Sun, which also happened to just match perfectly in place, and something also just happened to meet up just right on Earth, and against every odd available, created something?
apparently...
Would you still believe it if scientists have already changed their theory?
I guess so.

You should honestly get that movie... or download it... whatever you have to do. everyone should watch that, it's a really good movie.
It talks about intelligent design being taught in school and all of that. Pretty much exactly what this thread is about, only it has a lot more credibility. xD

no... It should be a decision of what the school decides to teach in it's curriculum.

[Whalemeat]

wow, there goes separation of church and state.....

[LordSkweegie]

i have a crazy ass thoery that our universe is like a shakra, and we live on the 3rd planet cuz its the life source, kinda like the pi shit/di vinci shit, but more spiritual than "natural".

[RubySyntax]

Sure, as soon as I can teach evolution in Sunday school.

[pancakes]

i would have no problem in it as long as they thought as many forms of other ideas of how man came to be because it would be wrong to only teach one. how can you believe in one religious with out understanding as many others as you can? i asked one of my family's friends that and she said " that's how we drift further from god" and i popped back with " well if Christianity is the "perfect religion" what does it have to lose then?" needless to say she just walked away.

[Monica]

That Shit is NOT science!

[badwolf]

we have Theories. not facts.

Cell Theory, Germ theory, Atomic Theory, Quantity theory of money, Chaos Theory, Theory of general relativity, Theory of special relativity, Theory of evolution.
All "just theories" that people all over the world, people who are cleverer than thou, use every day to benefit, directly or indirectly, thy daily life. Think before you type because the FACT of evolution means it needs a THEORY to explain HOW IT HAPPENS and WHY. I used caps to make it clearer for thee.

i speak like a pastor, at thy church. And i speak unto thee as if it were 3,000 ago. FYI, chaos theories have many scientific methods behind them(search infinite space from no space, 4-5-6-7-8th dimensional cubes, or even how to fold space, all have mathematical, and scientific equations that try to explain how shit works, but really, no one can explain WHY, or HOW they work)
