I know that "creation science" is not science but the irrational belief that some people have. Thats why I put it in quotations in the title.

to "yaha i'll kill you later":

If you really think godisimaginary.com is mentally challenged, then I truly feel sorry for you because they back everything they say with rational evidences unlike religious people.

Answer 1

Science is not religion so they should not be taught together. I understand that some people want themselves or their children to be taught creation, but that is why they have the option to go to their favorite church. Besides, an enthusiastic pastor would probably be a better teacher than a high school teacher educated to teach science.

Evolution isn't really something that MUST be taught, but if most biological principles and/or genetics are taught, evolution can be incurred.

Anyway, when you take physics you only get one theory. There are many different opinions in different scientific field but only the most accepted is taught at first.

In addition, it really doesn't matter what the founding fathers thought. What they believed has nothing to do with what is scientifically true! Science involves testing theories.

Answer 2

ABsolutely not. I enjoy how everyone immediately goes off into tangents about how the founding fathers were devout christians. Which, to start off with many were not, and even Thomas Jefferson once quoted there was nothing more dangerous than a group of religious zealots devoted to an idiotic cause (yes, I am slightly paraphrasing, but in it's context it was not a compliment).

Just because a large group of people believed one particular thing did not justify it as true (the world was once believed to be flat after all).
Whatever word or fancy term the religious cultists put on their agendas it should not be used to pollute the minds of our children and government. The saddest thing of all is how all of our 'beloved' politicians invoke the name of god as they lead us off to war. Awesome.

Answer 3

Well considering education was founded by the clergy in America and the founding fathers declared in writing that Man has a Creator and that Creator endowed Man with Inalineable rights (I hardly think they were referring to mommy and daddy) that Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John Hancock and the dozens of others who wrote and approved this historic document acknolwed WE WERE CREATED.

You aren't considering taking the Declaration of Independence out of the schools are you!

It CONCRETELY TEACHES KIDS that MAN HAS A CREATOR.

And that our rights come from this creator!

By the way, WHERE did all the mass in the universe come from, it's not ETERNAL IS IT. Something ETERNAL. Something FOREVER AND EVER.

Golly, sounds religious to me!

Answer 4

whoa, whoa, whoa, what is the word "science" doing in this title? Creation "science" isn't science at all; it's fundies and evangelicals trying to make evidence fit a story. How about, should "Creation BS" be taught in our schools? That's much more correct, and the answer is "no."

Answer 5

I think that creation science should be taught in chuches. Let them suffer through the ridiculous idea.

Answer 6

Excellent cartoon! It's funny but is "creation science" an oxymoron?

Answer 7

I was going to say no anyway but because you are intolerant I am much less likely to negotiate with the likes of your kind.

Answer 8

lmao that video was hilarious and i already had godisimaginary on my favorites, just further proof that creation shouldn't be taught, i would understand any suicides by children taught by george bush

Answer 9

As soon as it appears in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Till then, it ain't science.

Answer 10

No Kidding Sam. I Agree!
