Reply to Ellen J:
evolution is acknowledged to be a theory...but it is not just a theory, it is a heavily evidence-based scientific theory and one that all but a handful of crackpots accept as correct.

They would like evolution science removed. It is stunning, but they would.

Well, I'm a Christian and I can't figure out why you would think that I wanted science removed from the classroom. What, exactly, would that accomplish? Do you think that I really want kids growing up even more ignorant then are already? They graduate not knowing what foreign country borders Arizona and California and they should also not know who Newton was or why leaves are green? Please!
Contrary to popular notion, Christians do not want to turn the country into a Theocracy. I have better things to do than to tell people what to do .
What I would like is to have some respect. Not that I expect to get it, mind you, because I know most people cannot grasp the idea behind my following a guy who was killed two thousand years ago, but, that's because they haven't met Him. Oh, well.
I don't even care if evolution is taught in the schools, I'd just like it to be recognized for the theory it is. And have it acknowledged that many, non-Christian, secular scientists don't think it's working out as the ultimate answer for how everything got here either.
Yeah, you non-Christians think you're so honest, knowledgeable, and "connected" to scientific reality. If you guys only had a clue!

Only the science that they are unable to do mental gymnastics to fix their Bible to accord to. If something science says just contradicts a verse or two, they will accept it once they have done the proper gymnastics to let them reconcile it in their minds. But if something science says contradicts large portions of the Bible then they want that removed.

i've seen christians in my old highschool class do science projects on creation being right and evolution wrong. I am sure that there are those who want it out, and others just want to argue with it.
Why do christians think that they are smarter than scientists?
Silly christians, the scientists are more educated

I just answered this on another post. Science is good stuff theres plenty besides the evo theory. They should make that part optional.

Then as a creationist, I would never have became a chemist.
science all but proves God exists through his creation.
just like gambling proves god, by just playing the odds

Scienific findings strengthen the creationist argument. There is no other explanation for the immense complexity of the universe we live in. This did not happen by chance.

no...evolution can not be proven by science and science is very interesting...and important to learn. Creation is easier to prove and we don't even have to make up evidence!!!

No, science proves creation, it is all in how you interpret it.
