If The Creationists Win And Force Schools To Teach Intelligent Design,...?

Question

don't you think it's fair that Evolution is taught in Sunday School?

Answer 1

Of course.

Answer 2

Yes I think that is more than fair.

I don't have children but if I did and there ever came a day where Intelligent Design was taught in a public school system my child went to I'd be the first to pull them out and teach them myself. I'd want my children to learn fact not fantasy.

Answer 3

I understand your concern AND the poetic justice implied in your question, but neither of those things can happen. The US has a Constitution that forbids both of those things. Religion CANNOT be taught in a publicly-financed school under our constitution. Our government CANNOT interfere with the curriculum of a church. Neither of the things you have suggested is even remotely constitutional.
IF there is a public school in your area that starts teaching religion, it will be up to you to A) protest B) sue and C) alert the American Civil Liberties Union. It is your duty as an American. Your work here on Y!A is fun, but remember where your REAL power is.

Answer 4

the main modern identity push is to "coach the debate," and area of that application is a instructors handbook crammed with the commonplace identity BS. It does not modern any concept, in basic terms those comparable drained arguments. I could upload after examining some posts: Creationism taught as area of a faith classification i'm high quality with, yet as quickly as I hear smart layout, i comprehend the motives of identity proponents attempt to get Creationism taught noticeably as technology. nicely, quite they are in basic terms attempting to make evolution sound arguable, as a precursor to introducing the Christian god, alongside the "If there's a advent, there could be a writer, and that writer is God, now permit's open our Bibles," line. yet, of direction, they are concentrated on young ones, no longer college scholars, because of the fact someplace around 15 we're not virtually as in threat of in basic terms accepting what authority figures let us know, and are notably stable extreme thinkers. The very concept that identity is promoted as an concept, yet has no theoretical clinical care (the written rfile which states the concept), nor any evidence or acceptance in the clinical container, and is even seen for coaching is concepts-blowing.

Answer 5

Do you really want a Sunday School teacher teaching Evolution?

Answer 6

No. Creationists are not trying to stop public schools from teaching evolution. We are lobbying to have creationism taught as a CHOICE. Nobody is forcing non-believers to attend a Christian church and go to Sunday school!

In response to Anyone's answer--The Supreme Court ruled that it is legal to teach creationism in public schools as a choice. They just can't make it mandatory.

Answer 7

I think that you should get the government to fund our churches so that we can purchase the best evolutionary materials available so that our youth can be exposed to more cartoons outside of school also. Why would you even suggest that the fables of evolution even be a part of anyone's education? Equal treatment is all that most real Christians want in education as far as evolution and creation are concerned. Have a great evening.
Thanks,

Edit:
I am a former science educator and I do believe that we should expose our youth to every available theory that is plausible including evolution. I do not believe that it is true but a number of people do and therefore it should be explored by our youth (truly).

Answer 8

The Creationists won't win. It is inevitable that our society will eventually "lose its religion". It's just going to take a long time. Don't worry about evolution. Darwin was right and he has already been proven right. Right now, the ignorant are making their last stand. Give them a chance to realize reality. It may take 1,000 years. But it will happen.

Answer 9

Evolution is satan's science, and you suggesting it be taught in Sunday school? I must admonish you.

And don't be too quick to denounce creationism and church science. Just yesterday I learned that I can get a degree in church science, and then I will be able to explain how Jesus got up after being dead three days, and started walking around like nothing ever happened. Plus, he rose into the sky.

And all that ties in with intelligent design. So all you athests just hold your horses...

Answer 10

No. Evolution, as the third largest religion in the US, can afford to build it's own churches.

Oh, wait, they already have. They're called "biology classrooms".

Anyone can go, just be sure to never, ever question what you're being taught. Check your critical thinking and that silly 'Test of the Scientific Method' stuff at the door; and never, ever demand proof...or they'll ridicule you something terrible, then congratulate themselves on how learned they are! (then provide no proof.)

Answer 11

Absolutly. And just let me add that if that ever, ever happens, I will make the biggest stink that montana has ever seen. You'll see me on the news, I swear it. Seperation of church and state.....that includes schools, courts, and any government establishment. My constitutional rights will not be denied.
