if creation was so real, why do we teach evolution in the classroom?

Question

ive asked many questions about teaching creationism in science class and nobody gave me a good answer. Doesnt that prove that evolution is more plausible than that creationism garbage?

Answer 1

YES it does.
Creationism is nonsense. Evolution is Factual. Religious people who think otherwise simply don't know enough about Evolution to make an informed opinion on the matter, but form that unfounded opinion they do and many people fall for it.

I just wish that Evolution was better taught in schools. Clearly the protestations of the religious is what's keeping to many teachers from Really Teaching Evolution as it should be. It's the "I don't want to offend anyone" mentality.

I say Let it offend them. If they are never taught the FACTS dealing with Evolution properly then we can't very well expect them not to reject it. That "inoffensive" stance a double edge sword and is not doing ANYONE any good in the long run. Look where it's gotten us so far! We're dragging behind in the sciences and that's mostly due to pandering to the religious.

Answer 2

This is always a difficult topic to tackle. I happen to believe in God and also happen to be a graduate student in physics. I believe in species evolution and I can simultaneously believe in an overarching creator of the universe. I cannot understand why so many people on both sides of the argument view science and faith as mutually exclusive. Look at the fundamental questions in science; for example, the big bang. As scientists we have no conception (and due to causality, we never will) about what it was that caused the big bang. Even in my graduate classes in astrophys. we frequently find ourselves grappling with the "prime mover," the one or the thing that started this whole place into motion. It is sad to see even here we attack each other for something as silly as belief. What we as humans are demonstrating is that we have evolved into a species unable to not fight on something as silly as personal perception. I can believe in God and others don't have to, but at very minimum, I respect their beliefs and thus they should respect mine.

Answer 3

It doesn't really prove it, most education systems in America are crooked now anyway, sad really.

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support the theory of evolution. The bible is a barbaric way of explaining the world when science wasn't available to help us do so. Now that we have a better understanding of the world around us there is no need to believe in such folly.

Answer 4

Evolution simply means "to change." I am a college educated Christian who does not oppose the idea of evolution, because it is common knowledge that species evolve, or change in order to adapt to their environment. However, there is a theory of the evolution of an entire species into another entirley different species, namely ape into man. This is taught as theory only. There is a "missing link" between ape and man. It has not been discovered, it is still only a theory, so it is just as "plausible" as the creationalist theory.

Answer 5

confident, if the technology instructors prefer to instruct the reality quite than lies, they'll instruct that technology can often times come by way of miracles and not purely evolve. in the event that they like to take God out of each little thing, they are purely serving a small minority of God haters on an identical time as doing this by using fact maximum persons of human beings in the U. S. declare to be Christians and that they hate it whilst they are forced to deliver their little ones to colleges run via the Atheists or humanists or homosexuals. Why could every person prefer their toddler's lives destroyed via strangers who're unaware of the reality and easily have self belief what the devil taught them?

Answer 6

"
"LATEST NEWSWEEK POLL:

91% of Americans believe in God. Almost half of all Americans reject the theory of evolution. 82% of Americans say they are Christian. One-third of all college graduates say they ACCEPT the Biblical account of Creation AS FACT.....according to latest Newsweek poll -- March 30, 2007."

In conclusion 82% of Americans are Christian, but only 33% of college graduates see creation as fact. Now that's quite the decline from the norm after a little knowledge.

Answer 7

Evilution, I'm sorry it's spell Evolution, is veiwed by many as a non-political stance on how the world was created. Becuase of the growing anti-christian sentiment in the US, only evolution is taught.

Charles Darwin himself wrote that his theory of evolution would “break down” if it were proven that any complex organ could not have developed over a long period of time in gradual increments. Modern molecular biology has helped prove that there are certain complex organs in both animals and insects that could not have evolved by gradual, successive additions.

However, many creationists are unwilling to accept that if evolution happened, and it is a process that God started, then it is still creation.

Answer 8

Here's the best proof that evolution is real and creationism is bullshit, no matter what the uneducated public thinks, GARY.

If you go to creationism or intelligent design websites, books, or articles they publish in their own journals, they are all about ways they think evolution is wrong or evil in some way. They have no evidence or support for THEIR theory besides 'I can't think of another way so god did it' - just attacking evolution.

If you go to evolutionary journals and college websites, do they attack creationism? Nope. They present evidence for evolution, they debate mechanisms, they use evolution to make better medications and predict things, in short, they do science.

Answer 9

Teaching creation in school would be like teaching that the tooth fairy, santa claus and the easter bunny were real. There is absolutely no, zero, Nada scientific evidence that these things exist or ever did.
There is however evidence and scientific fact that evolution has happened.
We want to teach our children fact, not fiction.

Answer 10

Evolution is not real, the only reason that it is taught is because people have finally found a religion that goes against God. This is always the case. Even with the evidence that we have to goes against evolution. Most claim they are hoxes, but in reality i seem to remember quite a few hoaxes used to support evolution that are still being taught as fact.

The world will probably always teach evolution, regardless of the evidence that we have against it. Rather sad.

I even know a guy that we call Seth, he is from Kenya and he said that they still see the pterodactyl. In the last century there have been over 20,000 reports of seeing dinosaurs. Not to mention the bones we found in Alaska that are unfossilized.

Now you can ignore everything that I have said or look at it with an open mind.

And may I say thanx to all of the thumbs down I'm gonna get
