Why is the Bible banned in many classrooms & a serious discussion of the bibical view of the creation?

Question

And the bibical view of the creation of the universe and human origins,forbidden?

Answer 1

Communism
believe it or not.

Answer 2

Separation of Church and state. If public schools use the Bible to teach, they then would open the doors and may have to teach out of the Koran, the Satanist Bible, and the like.

Creation is not the scientific approach to creation. Since creation myths very from religion to religion, they would really need to cover them all. And, for what it is worth, they would have to throw in the theory that we were placed here by an alien civilization which has the same credence as all the other creation myths.

If you want to explore the Biblical version of creation, you should do it in Sunday school or go to a christian school.

Answer 3

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. The classroom of a public school is no place for discussion of the Bible. If you want to discuss the Bible, go to church or a Bible study. Just because it's what you chose to believe doesn't mean everyone else should be subject to it's discussion. How would you like it if you went to a school where Christianity was not the primary religion? If you were subject to serious discussion of religious beliefs that go against your own? What if you were subject to everyone around you bring the Koran to school or serious discussions of Buddhism, or Karma and reincarnation? You would probably feel it wasn't fair, you may feel they were forcing their religious beliefs down your throat. What if people got on your case and made you feel uncomfortable because you don't share their religious beliefs, and at school of all places? I doubt you would like it very much.

Answer 4

Zorro, would you be surprised to learn that even among Christian theologians there is very little "serious discussion of the biblical view of creation," and even less in the halls of biblical scholarship? If that has no effect on you, then how did you deal with the decision by a religious, conservative judge who said it was just another ruse for religious indoctrination in schools?

Lastly, but more centrally, what makes YOUR creation myth more credible than any other?

Answer 5

There are more religions in the country than just Christianity. Would you want all of the major groups represented? There are religious schools, and there is church. Public school has a bit of everybody, and personally, I would rather my children be getting an education, being taught grammar, writing, math, science, geography, history, than spending all day learning about religion. And the creation view is fine, just not scientific.

Answer 6

Well think about it if Christians were aloud to openly discus the christian bible that means that other religions will also be able to openly discuss their views and what would happen is the school will start to separate teachers of different religious back rounds will want to not only teach and discuss the christian bible but other religions as well and what will end up happening fights and feud about religion who's is right who's is wrong parents will get upset because they would think their children are being influenced by different religions and it will distract from learning... we don't need religion in school that is what church is for..............

Answer 7

Because religion of any type should be kept out of a public classroom. If it was allowed, whose view would you want taught? Only yours? Believe it or not there as many different views on creation as there are relgions in the world. I say let it be taught but under a class heading of mythology. Then it could taught along side ancient greek, roman, aztec, etc mythologies.

Answer 8

you're not any more on a similar web page with them, you're not any more even interior a similar e book ! i replaced into A JW as replaced into all of my relations.

I percentage with them each probability i'm getting. i imagine they have stopped coming to my domicile. i'd ask that you will be variety as conceivable. they imagine they are eye-catching God !

Answer 9

Because religious beliefs are not uniform. many people believe differently, and teaching a certain religion can be found insulting to members of other religions. Of course, the exception to this rule is religious schools, where you send them there for religious education, or don't mind the religious education.

Plus, religion should be a topic carefully dealt with, and with strongly opinionated kids, which is pretty much most of the juvenile population, you're probbaly not gonna get that.

Answer 10

For the Creation part, that would be because of the First Amendment.

As for bibles, children may bring in bibles, but there cannot be any school or teacher endorsement of bibles because of the First Amendment.

To understand, try to imagine if you son or daughter's teacher was pagan. Would you want them teaching your children their view of creation? Would you want them teaching Pagan rituals to your children? I don't think so...

That's why the First Amendment is around...

Answer 11

It's not forbidden. It excludes other religious beliefs, and non-religious beliefs. And there is no reason to use it, except in a history class or philosophy class. The biblical creation story is wrong. It's just that uneducated people don't know that yet.
