why is everyone so threatened by creation science theory?

Question

why would it be a problem to teach it in schools?

actually - the definition of science is the discovery and observation of the world... so yes, the study of a scientific aproach to creation would be considered a science, just as the study of religion itself would be considered a science.
What is everyone so afraid of?

point # 2 - I posted under religion AND philosophy to make a point.... that you people actually are lurking here to lambast every legitimate question posted.

people wake up! I'm not telling you I want it taught - I'm asking what is the threat?

As far as the public school system is concerned, evolution is the "religion" of the day. Secular scientists of today are forcing it down yours and your children's throats... if you can't see it - heaven help us all!
It's just as much of an unproven belief system as creation theory is.
And please rethink your comments about it not being science - have you ever even looked at the various theories presented? of course they are scientific!
ie - floods produce erosion, and layered sedimatation
- fossilization actually does not require millions of years - see the fossilized hat and hand tools
- so called "pre-historic" extinct species are being "rediscovered" today
These are real scientific facts - not myth!

O Don, how simple you are ! I am not promoting anything but science!!

Answer 1

Observation and experimentation of the physical world lead to conclusions concerning physical phenomena (usually inaccurate!) But people don't want to admit that they are ignorant, so they stick hard to what they called knowledge after receiving university degrees. Nowadays, to prove as being knowledgeable, people used to cite all sorts of diplomas before their names.
College Degrees evidently have some relative values in some fields, but they guarantee no true knowledge. Otherwise, what is the use of sending children to school?
But, true knowledge comes only from its true source, that is the knowledge taught by the Messengers of God. In order to gain this knowledge, man must firstly realize that he is completely ignorant, and starting a new and complete investigation of truth. He must use, not only his senses, but also his intellect, his intuition, his faith, his other spiritual abilities...under the guidance of the Divine Educator. This was the way of all great saints. In the past, they were called saints, because this education had not reached the great population. Now, this education is available to all, enabling us to become true men (no more saints), why we keep on denying it?

Answer 2

Not threatened, just saddened that people think they have the right to force their beliefs on others. I have read the bible, it is full of errors, mistakes, and contradictions. Most people believe Adam and Eve were the first people, even though the bible never says that!! Man was created in the chapter before Since there is scientific evidence (i.e. historical documentation) that many of the stories told in the bible were based on prior tales and fables, why would it be reasonable to teach creatiion theory, when it is obviously flawed? Only reason to teach it would be to try and brainwash other peoples' children and force them into believing what you and others want them to believe. THat was what Hitler did, and look what happened.

Answer 3

Actually creation is a science not to be speculated upon it is already established. The scientists have already proved Darwin's theory wrong. Get the book Forbidden Archeology or The hidden history of the Human Race. By Michael A. Cremo. on krishnaculture.com Why do people not accept the Person who created the whole place His opinion. He is entitled to it since He made it don't you think? GO to http://www.stephen-knapp.com get book How the Universe Was Created and Our Purpose in it Ancient Vedic texts

Answer 4

1. It's based upon lies.
2. It's not a theory as it has no supporting evidence.
3. It's not science.

Answer 5

I would not want my kids learning church stories when they go to school. If you want your kids to learn it, take them to church or teach them yourself.

Besides, if it was taught at schools, christian children might learn all the flaws in the theory from people who know more about science than their pastors and psuedo-educated parents do. You should be grateful for the seperation between church and state. It allows you to enforce the "don't think rationally when it concerns religion, just take the pastor's/bible's word for it.

Answer 6

Because in public schools there is separation of church and state.

Creationism is derived from Christianity and therefore inappropriate for public education.

If they were to teach it, it would have to be along side the Jewish philosophy of how the world began, the Muslim, the Buddhist, the Hindu...

Answer 7

Because its not science it is myth. If you want to teach it as myth I have no problem, if you want to teach it as science I refer you to the judgement made by the Dover court earlier this year. It serves at a textbook reply to your question.

What I/we are afraid of is that you would be teaching myth as fact, can you really not understand the dangers in that? Teach it under social studies by all means just not in science class.

Edit:
Rant and rave as much as you want. It is not science and evolution is, you might as well complain that we are forcing Maxwell's equations down kids throats. (look them up).

All you are doing is making yourself look a little bit unhinged.

Answer 8

Because it's not science. It's religion. You even posted this question under religion, not science.

And it's not completely that it's threatening. It's that if you have to teach one religion in schools, you have to teach them all, since public schools are non-denominational.

Answer 9

people do want to believe that something greater will one day judge them. So they want darkness.
NIV
Jn 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Answer 10

Because it represents a lack of seperation of Church and State in a remarkably dumb way by presenting one of the most outdated beliefs of religion in a government institution. I just don't see how this is a good thing!
