creationism in science???

Question

if we teach adam and eve in science class why dont we teach all other religions creation story. if i understand right buddihst say the earth hached out of an egg. some native americans say the earth is a giant turtals back. i am not saying any one of those are right what i am saying is if we teach one religous view we must teach all

Answer 1

The First Amendment not only allows citizens the freedom to practice any religion of their choice, but also prevents the government from officially recognizing or favoring any religion.

Answer 2

Just a counter question, which other religious creation stories are being attempted to be taught in a science class? Which other religion is seriously contending with evolution in a public education institution? If the Buddhist or some native Americans have case, let them present theirs so we can consider them.

Answer 3

You are very wise.
"i am not saying any one of those are right what i am saying is if we teach one religious view we must teach all"
-- This is why religion is not science. A belief system usually is based on belief.
Science is based on facts, data collected over time.
I can't believe the lost hours of confusion the children live with, due to adults fighting over this. It just reminds me of how far as a people we humans have to go - to finally be enlightened.
Keep asking these questions! Community and religious leaders need to understand this someday. Keep them on their toes.

Answer 4

Evolution is taught with no evidence to support it. Isn't evolution a religion? One must "believe" in it without evidence. Scientist dig up tons of evidence about our past daily. To date, none has been found to support evolution. Darwin's book hit the street 147 years ago. All missing links that have been found, have later been ruled either a mistake or outright fraud. The missing link is "still" missing.

Answer 5

WHAT?! You were taught about Adam and Eve in science class!!? Were are you from? They don't teach religion in school. Separation of church and state, remember?

Answer 6

Really, the others sound like jokes. Would you really want to have to listen to that? In school, I had to learn about the Big Bang, ect. What foolishness. If scientist can't come up with a theory that at least makes sense, then No; we don't need to have crazy stuff taught.

Answer 7

ok...

The Intelligent Design movement is not asking that Adam and Eve be taught in Science Class.

All they are asking is that we should not be lying to our children and saying that Evolution is a Fact (when it is not -- i.e., not in the macro*evolutionary sense).

--
There is no evidence that proves Atheistic MacroEvolution (without Intelligent Design)...

I used to believe in Evolution. However, over a period of time I have grown skeptical of the claims of Macro*Evolution... this is largely due to the weakness of the evidence for Macro*Evolution, and the fact that the evidence, rationally interpreted does not support the overarching claims made by Macro*Evolutionists...

For scientific and intellectual critiques of evolution, see http://www.godsci.org/gsi/apol/evo/00.html .

Is Evolution a FACT? Not really -- not in the macro*evolutionary sense. See http://www.godsci.org/gsi/apol/evo/evofaq2.html for relevant discussion.


---
I find that the vast majority of people who believe in evolution, do so by faith and authority

(faith -- because atheistic macro*evolution is a faith; and authority -- because they believe in the word of "experts" in the field, rather than truly understanding the evidence themselves).

Cordially,
John

Answer 8

That is the point to separation of church and state. All or none, else you are discriminating, and the government is telling you one religion is correct. A state religion makes for theocracy. We need to stay with science.

Answer 9

we DO NOT teach adam and eve in science class

Kansas board of education lost the case long ago.

Answer 10

i agree. the abrahamic religions share the same story but what about hinduism, buddhism, and lets not forget keeping the science in it. why dont we just increase the number of school days to 250/yr to accomodate.
