That is too bad for you. She's the one with the correct scientifically proven answers. Not just feeding you biblical fictitious B.S. !

I am a christian as well, but I have no problem with accepting both the concept of evolution and the fundamentalist christian concept of devine creation. I know many scientists who have not problem with this. They do not find contradiction between the two doctrines. I am not going to try to convert you to this duality of beliefs, but I will say that I think you are committing no sin by listening to evolutionary theory. Your beliefs are just that, your beliefs. Consider this: How long is a day? 24 hours? Are you sure? Has it always been 24 hours. Are you sure. The bible says that to God, eternety is but a twinkling of the eye. Would this not mean that to God, time is seemingly differently to him, than it is to us clock watchers. The question poses itself, The bible says that God created the world in 6 days, and on the seventh he rested. How long was each day in Gods reckoning? 24 hours or 200 million years? See what I am getting at? If you delve into this yourself and consider it thoroughly and don't get caught up in religeous dogma that takes every thing literally, then the Bible, the holy word of God and the theory of evolution can peacefully co-exist and are not in contradiction. I am not trying to sway your
Christian beliefs in any way as I agree with them wholeheartedly. I just think that it is wrong to accept dogma as the "truth" when oftimes it is based on someone elses opinion (not Gods) and they are human and subject to error.
I stand by my suggestion that Creationism and the Theory of Evolution are not in conflict. Again, you have the perfect right to interpret the word of God as you see fit, but I think I have the same right. That does not put us in conflict either, at least it shouldn't. (Just my opinion) God bless and best regards, DP

i had the same problem, but think of it this way. his/her job is to educate you of the theories and things that are believed to be true. Its good to know what others believe too...even if you dont believe that. Just listen and take notes and get an A in the class...whats what ultimatly matters anyway. Maybe your teacher doesnt believe in evolution either...its just a job, its just a class...

Honestly natural selection, and micro-evolution are proven in nature so you shouldnt have a problem with those two parts. Its the third part of the equation that you dont believe in, and thats what you need to discuss with the teacher. Tell her that micro-evolution is evident in dogs among other things, and natural selection is clearly evident, yet due to your religious beliefs and the fact that science has yet to prove macro-evolution on any level you decline to participate in those discussions on a moral level. If they can prove macro-evolution on any level feel free to discuss away.
Evolution isnt proven thats why its still a theory.

Say something like we are all here for a reason. Or just simply take her aside after class and tell her you don't believe in evolution, so you don't really know how to respond to this kind of lesson.
Hope I could help!

evolution is only a theory. The Bible story of creation appears in all world religions in one form or another. Scientist have been able to prove the Bible is true. Besides where is the missing link that connects prehistoric ape/man to the modern man form?
Man was formed from dust and God breathed life into him. Man did not come from a puddle of goo and lighting.

don't answer to what she says. say you believe God created the world. however, know the material and what she's talking about. just because you know what's required in school doesn't mean you don't believe in God.

tell her the theory of evolution is just that, a theory and one you don't believe.

Tell her that your religion prevents you from getting an education.
