Why are the teaching Darwinism (a religion) in the schools and not Christianity, Catholicism, or any other?

Question

religion that is right

Answer 1

Good question...why can't they teach about God?

Answer 2

Because Darwinism isn't a religion, it is a scientific precept.

Darwinism doesn't fit the classic definition of an organized religion. There is no deity, no ceremonies, no holy book (as Mr. Darwin's work is but a small part of what the field of studying evolution has become), no encompassing set of beliefs, and no specific system of values or morals.

They teach it because it is currently the theory that has the most parallels with the physical evidence we have found on this planet.

Christianity and Catholicism are religions, involving Deities, Ceremonies, Holy Books, Religious Tenants, and entire belief sets. Darwinism is far less encompassing, it is more akin to plumbing than religion.

Would we have them teach that water flows through some miraculous force created by a deity, or should we just teach them about gravity, pressure and flow and let them know that any field of knowledge is never complete. At least with the latter we'll have flushing toilets.

Answer 3

they're teaching evolution in schools. evolution is not a religion.

it comes from a compilation of facts about our past. evolution is just a theory that tries to make sense of those facts. it may or may not be the correct interpretation. but it makes sense so far. the theory was first considered when darwin studied finches and noticed a few things about beak shape and size. he noticed first, then tried to answer the question why. this is the basis for the scientific method. and should be taught in school.

religion is the opposite. it begins with a theory that then tries to fit the facts to itself. its not science.

Answer 4

Its a good theory that fits well into the story of creation.The questions it creates in the hearts of mankind has kindled controversy. But truth is truth and nobody on earth knows it entirely so with faith, Darwinism can exist and at the same time it strengthens the chosen mans spirituality.

Answer 5

Since when is a scientific theory a religion ? Does darwinism have temples, priests etc ??????

Try do a bit of thinking and research before asking stupid questions.

Answer 6

Would you really want them to teach Christianity in the public school system? i wouldn't. i do not know these teachers or their faith. At the same time, i believe that macro evolution theory is a type of religion and belief system, and that should also not be taught. Faith ought to be taught at home and in religious settings, where a person freely goes and is not forced to listen or accept it.

Answer 7

That is a protest-able issue.
