If evolution were true .why are they afraid of creationism being taught along side it?

Question

If it were so true they wouldnt have anything to be afraid of.

corpus: 99%percent of scientists believe evolution? where do you get that?lol you are making things up as you go along .do you believe your own lies? Any one that has done the smallest amount of research knows thats a complete lie

Answer 1

Because there is no proof for Darwinian evolution, of course. You've hit the nail on the head. If there were any solid proof for it, they wouldn't have to tell lies about Creationists' views, speakers and organizations.

They wouldn't have to try to get laws passed to try to outlaw any influence by creationists.

It's funny, if they had any facts at ALL on their side (the Darwinists), they would bring them out and show them off, and they would invite debate.

Problem is, back when they were confident enough that they were willing to debate creationists, they lost every single debate and ended up looking totally foolish.

The creationists won every single debate, because it's all a no-brainer when one sees the evidence for one alongside the evidence for the other.

They know this isn't the way to go. When a fake view (that has no solid science supporting it, but pretends to be science) like Darwinism is compared to a view that makes use of real science and and fits well with scientific facts (as creationism does), they KNOW that the whole world will immediately see that the emperor has no clothes, and Darwinism is a fraud.

Answer 2

Actually, I think both should be taught. I'm not scared of creationism. I just can't believe that one thing was created from nothing - just how creationist can't believe that living things sprouted from non-living things. I think both should be taught. Even though I think evolution should be mandatory (as it is just a wee more scientific than creationism). Creationism should be an option for those that want to take it (as in high school for instance when young adults start making decisions for themselves). And in fact, in some private schools (which are usually religious) they do teach creationism - but they also, for the most part, bring up evolution (my friend went to a private Catholic school so I'm using her experience and not mine). We'll never know for sure who is right or wrong (if there is such a thing with this - it might actually be a combination of the two) until we die, when we relearn everything we've always known.

Answer 3

Okay well if Evolution, Creationism, and Intelligent Design get to be taught side by side in the science classroom then I, as a Hindu, would like to advocate that Vedic Science be taught in the science classroom, Vedic Mathematics be taught in the Mathematics classroom, and Vedic Musical Composition & Scales be taught in the Music classroom.

It's only fair, right? I mean when I was in high school I was in band. We were only taught the western classical musical scale and composition. I never learned anything about the Vedic system. And in math class I would have loved to have learned atleast a little bit about Vedic math. I always enjoyed science so I wasn't really upset that evolution wasn't talked about very much or creationism. There were books about in the library. No books on Vedic science, Vedic astronomy, etc. All of that would have been interesting to learn, too.

Answer 4

It's not fear. It's teaching children something that is blatantly false as truth that galls most people. Why should we teach kids that all the animals got on the ark when it can be proven that this is not possible, or when we know that the continents split hundreds of millions of years ago when creationists want to teach that it happened less than 6000 years ago.

If you teach creationism, then you chould also teach the Aztec belief that we came from an ear of corn, or the Aboriginal belief that we came from a giant pig. These are the same sorts of tales as adam and eve, and deserve the same amount of time in the classroom as creationism, don't you agree?

TUFLADY,
you must be kidding! if anything, modern science has consistently reinforced the idea of evolution over creation... that's why 99% of the world's scientists in relevant fields subscribe to evolutionary theory.

Answer 5

creationism u mean the christian god created mankind? If evolution theories were true then it would completely denounce the power of creationism. Youy question makes no sense, evolution theories do not suggest that there is a christian god who created everything. Teaching something unscientific along side a science class is completely absurd. Any bio class that teaches religion within it would have trouble with the state and federal education requirements.

And yes, there is the law which prohibits religion in public schools.

Answer 6

Evolution is a scam. They don't want Creationism taught because they know it would blow it all (evolution) out of the water and they don't want to face the truth. Besides the things Darwin believed have since been shown to be in error because of the advances we have made in technology. like DNA, etc. The human eye and how it works is enough to say, this was not an accident. And fish aren't walking yet......

Answer 7

Evolution is a fact. Evolution occurs as a whole.
Creation occurs on a single level.

It can be scary to know that one human being may create a scenerio that may one day lead to catastrophe.
(using Hitler as an example; although he was very creative, his ideas generated a negative scenerio that did not benefit evolution as a whole)

There are many forms of creationism, some benefit, some cause bigger and worse scenerios, do you see why some people are cautious?

Answer 8

We aren't afraid of creationism being taught along side it. However, religion is not allowed in public schools in most of the free world. And creationism is definitely a theory only held by evangelical christians, and entails the teaching of the evangelical version of God.

Answer 9

Yes they would, it shows that God did not create men in his image and it makes them think their religion is being attacked.

The Human eye is not THAT complex. Neither are hawk eyes, which are far superior to ours.

And some fish do walk.

The Walking Catfish.

I guess they are not trying to confuse people about thier faith more than they already are. You know the Vatican has a monopoly on this religious stuff. Let's just call it job security.
