Why should Evolution be taught as science, because it's not observed. It's religious world view.?

Question

Why should Evolution be taught as Science, because you can't observe it, besides microevolution. Evolution is relgion. Why can't we see new species coming into the world. It causes kids too lose their faith in the word of god. It's not right. Science tells us that Evolution is the only reason why we exist today, there is no god. its not right.

Evolution is a fairy tale!

Answer 1

We are dealing with the same mentality as Gallileo did when he tried to convince people that the earth revolved around the sun. But people today somehow think they're not capable of making the same scientific mistakes those people did back then. "Professing themselves wise, they became fools".

Until mainstream scientists finally realize what you're saying is true, we're stuck with it in the school system.

I've debated many people on here and none of them have provided any evidence that supported any evolution beyond micro.
I find it mind boggling how easily they're fooled and how they can't see the simplicity of what you're saying. Then they have the nerve to call us brainwashed and close minded.

The definition of science is something that can be observed, tested, demonstrated, repeated and falsafiable.
Only microevolution fits into that category.

If anyone cares to challenge me on this, I'm open for debate. Send me an email with anything you can provide besides micro evolution which fits the above definition of science.

**Hmmm... 3 thumbs down ratings so far and no emails sending me evidence. They can talk a good game, but when asked to provide proof to back it up, they never produce anything except rantings and ravings and ad-hominem attacks.

Notice how you didn't say creation should be taught in schools and some tried to defend why it shouldn't.
Not only do they not understand science, but the grasp on the english language is slightly off as well.

Answer 2

As evolution is a slow process it cannot be observed in one persons life time. However by using the science of archeology. We can observe the changes that occur over millions or thousands of years.
Evolution is not a religion and does not conflict with a religious view. Before something can evolve it first has to be created in this physical universe.Thus their must be something that caused these things to be created in the first place.
The how was it done is what science is still looking at. rather than a who started it.
Its like the Hebrew calendar that says the world is only 6047 yrs old as it is started from the last great event in their history. but if you use the Christian calendar then the world started only 2006 yrs ago with the birth of Jesus"the Christ".

Answer 3

The theory of evolution does not say that there is no God. Science is science and religion is religion. Science only tries to explain the physical world, not the spiritual world. If science starts trying to explain things that are not in its domain, we should tell it to back off.
I would say the same for religion. If religion tries to replace science, it is going into the wrong domain.
As for observability: the kind of macro-evolution you would like to see as proof does not happen within the span of one lifetime. Your statement is the equivalent of denying that a tree grows simply because you can't see it getting taller as you stand there watching. The same logic "proved" for many years that the earth was flat.
But I want you to get these two points from my answer: Science has no right to claim that God does not exist and religion has no right to claim that genetics and heredity do not exist.

Answer 4

Evolution does not prove there is no god, it just proved that we evolved from an earlier form of primates. It is allowed to be taught in school because it is the fundamentals of our science world. There is nothing that says, if evolution is true there is no such thing as god. Can't we be open minded and think that maybe god set off a big bang that caused evolution to start?

Answer 5

I don't understand how evolution means there is no God. God created the earth, and the big bang just didn't come from nothing, but evolution is just the way the world works. It doesn't mean God didn't create it. And we have fossil records, carbon dating, and piles and piles of scientific evidence that makes evolution more than a belief. One of these days people will see the light and realize that evolution is just the way God created the earth.

Answer 6

Evolution is taught in science classes because it is a theory supported by science. If you can come up with a better solution that is also supported by science, they it will be taught as well. But the other theories, like creationism, aren't supported by science. Science does not deal with things like worrying rather kids are losing their faith in the word of god. Science only deals with science. It may be curt, but it is the nature of science.

Answer 7

Evolution is a theory; and a flawed theory at best.

Carbon-14 can only give an age of about 50,000 to 100,000 years maximum due to its short half-life of less than 6,000 years. Since carbon-14 should be decayed so much as to be undetectable within about 100,000 years, then a sample tested by using methods based on uranium decay or potassium argon, etc. which yields a date of 200 million years should not contain measurable amounts of carbon-14 in the sample, and yet such samples have been found.

There is no scientific proof that life did (or ever could) evolve into existence from non-living matter. Further, there is substantial evidence that spontaneous generation is impossible. Only DNA is known to produce DNA. No chemical interaction of molecules has even come close to producing this ultra-complex code which is so essential to all known life.

The list of creationist scientists is impressive:

Physics—Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin
Chemistry—Boyle, Dalton, Ramsay
Biology—Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur, Virchow, Agassiz
Geology—Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Buckland, Cuvier
Astronomy—Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Herschel, Maunder
Mathematics—Pascal, Leibnitz, Euler

Evolution should not be taught as science, as there is no real proof to back up the theory. At least creationists have the inspired Word of God to substantiate their beliefs.

Answer 8

Because few seem to realize that Secular Humanism is the new official State Religion in America. For the misinformed, they should try to look beyond the High Priests of Secularism and note that Darwinism is of value regarding the process of natural selection of creatures who already exist but comes up woefully short explaining where they came from in the first place. It is indeed accurate to state that Darwinism does not explain how life came to exist on Earth and actually pretty much proves that humans could not possibly have evolved unaided from apes. In fact, considering how expensive it is to maintain a massive human brain, pretty much means Natural Selection would not allow one to emerge. You see the earliest humans had the same sophisticated brains we have. Brains capable of advanced mathematical computation, understanding languages, storing massive amounts of information etc. none of which even existed when they first appeared. It runs counter to the theory of Natural Selection. *

Answer 9

You can see it, all the time. Just recently one of Darwin's finches even was observed to evolve to a different beak shape due to competition for food.
And if we lived long enough, we would observe much much more.
It is taught in science simply because it IS science, as much as that dismays many people. Science is all about theories and observations. Even in the fossil records there are tens of thousands of samples, and many good lineage lines. People just keep ignoring the facts and say they dont exist (but then I guess that people on both sides of this crazy old fence say that :) )

Answer 10

True but it is the majority view. No one ever promised life would be fair. As long as the majority of scientistws hold that view and enough influentioal scientists claim it is proven, and enough teachers feel they should teach it as proven fact, it will be very difficult to change what is being taught.
