do christian schools teach evolution as an alternative theory to creation?

Question

and if not then why should creation be taught in non religious schools?

Answer 1

Actually, both sides of that issue view their subject from a bias. One views it completely excluding God, and one views it including God. Niether has reason to see it as the opposite of their original view. I do strongly believe that both sides should be presented openly in any educational setting. Teach kids how to reason and use their brains and let them sort out the facts and the errors. That is what I'd call true education. Giving kids one side only, is brainwashing them with a biased arguement.

Answer 2

I go to a Christian University. The science classes do teach the theory of evolution, but not as an attempt to make us believe it. It is taught so that we can have intelligent conversations with those who do not believe in creation. We would not be able to explain why we didn't believe in evolution if we knew nothing about how it worked.

Answer 3

I am a Christian mother who Home schools her children and the science curriculum which i purchase( from a christian publisher that provides said curriculum to christian schools all over the united states) does indeed contain and compare both the theory of creation and all the theories of evolution( there is more than 1) but of course you know that being so well informed.True Christians are secure in their faith,and don't fear opposing views.Its I'mportant to me as a mother that my children understand what other people believe, im not raising them in a vacuum,but to live in the world. they need to be prepared .><>
oh ! and by the way my parents removed me from public school the year they shut down praying in said schools(shows how old i am!)and put me in christian school where even then we were taught Evolution vs. Creation.

Answer 4

I believe most Christian schools do indeed teach evolution. And they should, it's a widely adhered-to theory in the field of biology.

I am a Christian, and I do NOT believe in evolution (or at least macro-evolution). I intend to homeschool my kids, and I do intend to teach them the theory. I hope to teach them all about it. They should know about it, as should everyone whether they believe it or not, so that they can evaluate it for themselves and see it for what it really is.

Better they hear it along side creation, so the two can be compare and contrasted, then to be taught only creation, and be blindsided by evolution as soon as they enter the adult world. Being sheltered doesn't strenghten kids, it weakens their mental immune systems.

Answer 5

Christian schools teach that creation is the truth and that evolution is just a man made theory that does not make sense, nor is it proven. Christian schools ( well the ones I know) teach from the Bible. 6 days of creation.- by God.

Answer 6

Yes they do.

In fact Christian Universities teach evolution primarily. Most Christain University professors teach and follow the theory of evolution. From my experience.

Answer 7

Christian schools do teach evolution as a theory.

Answer 8

I went to a Christian school, and we actually had whole sections on evolution in our Science/Biology books.

Answer 9

There's only one difference bewteen evolution and Creation.....the former is not true.

That may not make a difference to you but it does to most people...

why should we teach something God has ALREADY condemned as a lie?

Answer 10

Creation is a myth. Myths ought not to be taught as science.
