other foms of our origin. Yet, if we brought God into science, isn't it true that we would never find answers other than "God."? Isn't it only realistic to leave god out of the scientific realm because as scientist, we are looking for explanations of reality on earth, with ONLY observable and testable answers? If I asked how gravity worked, and someone answered "God," we would never have a true understanding of our world.

In fact, we have many 'theories' about HOW the LAW of gravity works. That's why we only teach the 'law' in physics. Why can't we do the same for biology? Evolution is a 'theory', meaning an explanation of the facts. But ID ALSO explains the facts. The only difference is whether God's name is YHWH or Chance.

I am a CHristian and I would love to see both taught in our public schools.
And by the way, the answer GOd did it would not be an easy out if you had to explain where it states that he did it and the bilogical proof of it that is right here on this earth.
I have studied both and there is plenty of evidence for intelligent design right in the bible and on the earth.
Although, I admit I would have more fun teaching evolution. There is so much missing from that theory that you cannot explain, such as how in the world did we suddenly exist from some sort of one cell organism and yet today we cannot reproduce on our own, nor can our young take care of themselves from their birth, as we would have had to inthe beginnings.

I understand your point but I don't agree that it has to be that way. I would still be curious to know HOW God did something. That doesn't mean the end of discovery it just stops spiritual "copyright infringement." If you are going to teach that we all evolved from monkeys as a fact then you have called God a liar because He clearly shows us that each species was created in its own order. And man was created in His image using dust of the ground. So if you teach Darwin species evolution as a theory then at least give equal time to the Creation theory in the classroom. Teach them both side by side with equal time, attention. Give as much respect and "validity" to the Creation version as you would to the Darwin version. That is only fair.

I totally agree. I would rather find concrete answers based on proven fact than be told, "Just have faith." Scientist can prove their "theories" for the most part. There is no absolute proof that a deity exists and can be used to explain anything, except those who have faith.
Any book can be made into a religion. How do we know JRR Tolkien wasn't a god?

That is my problem with it. It pisses me off when they get mad that evolution is taught in a Biology class. Well, yes, it's a biological theory. Where else would it be taught? Now creationism is not a biological theory, it is religious doctrine. Keep it in religous context.
