WHO is the true BIGOT?

Question

Why is that teaching Children in public schools that they came from primates and single celled blobs, perfectly legal, but God or creationism is not. It is a bit biased to say the least, yet Christians are called the bigots, while radical atheist's and evolutionists never see how they have forced us to be taught these lies

If God cannot be taught, why is it that evolution can

it is not fair, if anything both should be illegal

Answer 1

The true bigot would be you, in this case. There's no lying in teaching children science, and there's no bias in teaching truth instead of lies.

Feel free to move to Afghanistan, where your Taliban buddies will certainly welcome you with open arms.

Answer 2

Both should be legal? Then what? You get some whack-job cult that believes the world was spawned from the head of a giant universe eating arachnid - you have to teach that in schools, too. You get some group of satanists who says Satan ate God and puked out the earth - you have to teach that, too. You can't start throwing all these unfounded ideas about creation into school where children are taught facts. The reason why part of the theory of evolution is taught in schools is because there is scientific evidence supporting the theory. In science class, children are taught the science behind the idea that humans evolved. It is a very simple concept. Children are NOT taught that "the way humans came about is through evolution." They are taught that the largest collection of evidence indicates evolution as the most probable explanation for where humans came from.

Ideas based on belief do not belong in school. Ideas based on observable phenomena do.

Answer 3

100% agree with you. There is no conclusive proof for evolutionary theory, which is why it is still referred to as theory and not fact. There is also no proof for the existence of Heavenly Father, at least not something He left behind after creating the world that says "I was here", just thousands of creatures of every sort, including the bumblebee. According to modern aerodynamics, the bee is not supposed to be able to fly, yet it does. His creation testifies of HIs existence.

If we want to be fair, both views should be taught in public schools, then let the children make up their own minds as they mature, which they will anyway.

There is factual evidence for the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Ten of the original twelve apostles were martyred for their faith (Judas hanged himself and one died of old age). All they had to do to be allowed to live was deny Christ is the Son of God. If He wasn't, with whom they walked and talked, why were they willing to die for a lie?

Josephus was a Jewish historian during Jesus' time, yet he risked prison by referring to Jesus as 'the Christ', meaning the messiah or savior:

"Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day."

By the way, carbon-14 dating has recently been shown to be a crock, yet was taken as hard science since the 1940's.

Answer 4

Because of this. First Ammendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."
This decision does not stop you from practicing your religion because you can teach your children this at home. All it does is uphold the rights of children from other reigious backgrounds to not have to listen to something in public schools that go against their belief. That is an extremely inconsiderate outlook to have.

And if you taught Christian creationism you would also have to teach every other religion's Creationism. Pastafarianists are taught that in the beginning the Flying Sphaghetti Monster created a mountain, some trees, and a midgit.

Answer 5

If we're going to teach one creationism theory, what about all the others? Should e teach Buddhism's creation account too? Evolution is science with tons of fossil evidence I have seen with my own eyes. You show you know nothing about it at all, just some propaganda. Perhaps you should study it before making such remarks. I have studied both, evolution wins every time.

Answer 6

Maybe we should also teach that the Earth is a big ball created by the scarab dung beetle, like the Egyptians of old believed. Or maybe that Zeus and Hera are the ulimate rulers of the universe, according to the old Greek religion. And let's not forget Vishnu as the supreme god of the Hindu faith, and the doctrines of Buddha.

If you're going to teach one fairy tale, teach them all.

Answer 7

When you insist that religion, a mythological concept, be taught to all children without regard for the belief of the children or the permission of the parents it is YOU who are the Bigot and show a complete lack of respect for others.
Science has been proven time and again, your Myths have not.

Answer 8

Evolution is based on scientific observation, while Creationism is not. Therefore Evolution gets taught in a science class. Creationism can be taught in a theology class, if you wish. Science wins again!

Answer 9

Yeah, I'm Hindu and I think my child and his peers should learn the Hindu version of creation. All these people talking 'bout teaching about monkeys or Adam and Eve when we don't believe in that. HINDU FOR VIRGINIA!!!!! NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE....HINDUS FOR EVER!!!!!

Oh, you only want Christianity taught? Then I don't agree.

Answer 10

Most inner city children are the product of evolution. Out side of that you do have a point.
