If you are open minded, why not allow evolution to be taught as a possible theory...?

Question

in your CHURCH!

You tell the facts about Darwinism from your pulpit - all in the interests of balance, obviously - then maybe your wish to put creationism in public schools won't sound so laughable.

Answer 1

My church keeps the Bible as the center of the teachings, and that is how I like it. Theory studies belong to the school. I go to the church to worship God, and hear about Him.

Creation theory is not laughable to people who believe in God. Evolution theory is a theory.

Answer 2

Actually the Catholics keep this possibility open....

There Bibles says and the sun and moon were one day: How many one days are there in a lifetime? All of them, but how many first days are there? ONE! So in retrospect you could say that the Catholic is more open than my church because they leave the possibility of evolution up to the reader, when in reality that is not what the original copy said:

Quite a shame actually, And there are no facts for Darwinism, it is slowly becoming an outdated theory as we go and pretty soon will be eliminatd from society if people will open their eyes.

There is so much left unexplained and it always open more questions without solving anything, it should be classified as a religion and have its own church, and own private schools in my opinion:

Thank You for the two points;

Answer 3

Obviously creationism isn't about being open-minded: it's largely a thinly-veiled attempt to censor the teaching of evolution in the schools.

I know that's not the standard story - we're supposed to believe that it's scientists who are trying to censor opposing views, despite the fact that I have never heard of a scientist or a scientific group (or anyone else, for that matter) seriously proposing that we prohibit churches from teaching creationism to thei congregations.

I wonder if anyone seriously believes that if they were given the chance to completely ban the teaching of evolution, the same creationists who currently use the "teach the controversy" line wouldn't immediately ban it. Their rhetoric certainly suggests that they would, and I can't imagine that their followers would be happy with the creationist organizations if they passed up a chance to ban the teaching of evolution on the grounds that we should "teach the controversy".

So why are the creationists so afraid of evolution? Why, if they're so sure of their position, are they so afraid of children being taught the opposite view?

Answer 4

evolution isn't taught in inner maximum colleges for a similar reason creation isn't taught in public colleges. They contradict one yet another. The separation of church and state forbids creation to verify in public colleges using fact it would offend all the non-Christian pupils. bear in concepts, u . s . a . of america is a melting pot of lifestyle. human beings come from international huge to get a sub-par guidance. Evolution is taught as a organic and organic technique, no longer as a controversy against creation.

Answer 5

And the key word about Darwinism from the pulpit is "facts". After all the laughter has died down, they serve refreshments. Don't they deduct points for asking the same stupid question? If they don't, they should.

Answer 6

School is an institution used to teach children. Parents who want Intelligent Design taught merely want their children taught what they believe to be correct.

Scientific theories have no place being taught in a church however - that's not what time there is for.

Besides, I believe most parents only want Intelligent Design added as a "possibility," since currently evolution is taught inaccurately as if it is a fact.

Answer 7

Anyone, including our pastor, may talk about evolution in our church...and they have as well as about scientists and other theories. No, not all churches would allow or encourage this.

Answer 8

I second that suggestion. Why are they so afraid of evolution? Because it would prove they have been misled and lied to by people who wanted to control them for generations, that's why. It's easier to be blind and led with lies than to think for yourself... that it goes both ways. Those who embrace science must be willing to explore themselves rather than believe everything they are told by scientists and politicians as well.

Answer 9

I've got news for you. Our hellfire and brimstone youth group DID teach us about evolution as well as creationism. We looked at them from various viewpoints and were taught to think about them.

We also we're taught about sex and procreation in our youth group!!

Answer 10

I would allow it just as soon as evolutionist stop teaching evolution as fact in science classes. I think people should be given all the facts and allowed to make up their own mind.
