In all fairness we have a record of Jesus Christ that we can accurately date back to one hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ. That means the people who testify of him are REAL people. So if Jesus was a real person and his miracles were real, that proves that God could exist. By this argument, man could have a creator. SO in all fairness shouldn't the bible be taught along with evolution in school?
Lets hear your theory.
Be a jerk about it and your question will be removed. I hate disrespect!

Evolution is a religion too. I want my kids to know where they came from, not some lame story an athiest scientist made up.

By your premise, the bible validates it self.
In all fairness, where is this accurate record of Jesus you speak of, again the bible can't be considered an accurate record without independent sources.
Which bible do you want to teach, how about the old testament? It might convert all your lovely christian children to Judaism.
The Constitution specifically prohibits the state from teaching ANY religious dogma.
It is truly hard to be respectful of such an obviously bias question.

Ooooh, you "hate disrespect"? Then how should we feel about your complete disrespect for intelligence, logic, reason, science, fact, the US Constitution?
No, the bible should not be taught along with evolution in school. For one thing, evolution is science. Creationism (or its ugly stepchild "intelligent" design) is not science. The only thing that should be taught in science class is science. Why is this so hard to understand?
I wouldn't care if the bible were offered as a literature or cultural elective, but nothing about it belongs anywhere near the science room.

Yes. So that people will be aware of the two. They don't need to believe. But for education to be fair and not biased, I think that people need to know both and then let them decide which one they think is the truth.
I studied in a Christian school myself, and we were both taught evolution and creation. Our teachers never forced us to believe on or the other.

As a christian I know you cannot conform anyone. You can only offer them Jesus and his good news, and let God work from there. And of course prayer helps. I believe everyone should be given all the information, and let alone to make their own educated decisions, whether they are right or wrong.
But I am with you. As far as school goes, we are not giving them all the information. We give them the information that atheists want us to give them. How do we expect for them to make educated decisions in their own life without giving them all the knowledge that they need to know. I definetely believe it needs to be added to the curriculum as an alternative belief of creation.
It will of course be tooth and nail to be accepted nationwide in a curriculum.
I would also like to add, that since we teach our children about Darwin and evolution, we should also teach them that Darwin went to college to become a clergyman in the church and was a christian. And when we let them alone to make their own educated decisions, they will notice that Darwin's theories do not go against the Bible, but instead, go hand in hand. The bible speaks of evolution, and as far as Darwin's theory of evolution of the earth (not animals) it goes along with the bible. Darwin was trying to make a point that we all started simple and became more complex. Just as God made things more complex throughout his creation of the earth.
Of course, everyone should do their own research, and i mean thorough research, and come to their own conclusions.

Don't be silly...
The "ifs" are so great that there is very little to learn beyond the concept of "if X than Y."
The history you suggest is, at best, poorly documented and verified. The "miracles" are very, very, very doubtful, in deed, and there is no support at all for the idea of "creation" or god.
In all fairness... shouldn't the entire bible, and it's god-theories be identified and taught as an extremely good example of pure tripe?

Yes I do. Last year in My Sons social studies Class they had one paragraph on Christ but whole chapters on Evolution and Muslisms. My kids are now home schooled where they learn the bible as a class.
To be fair they should atleast offer it as an elective and I dont think they should have to learn about evolution. I think that should be optional too... But its in the text books so the teachers have to teach it

Jesus was a real person but you can't prove his "miracles" were real. He could have just been a regular guy making outragious claims and playing mind tricks. You couldn't prove that not to be true. Therefore you can't prove God exists and why should it be taught?

accounts of a person believed to be Jesus may exist, but as far as saying his MIRACLES were true, not so much. there is no proof of that. writings by his followers are not truth. speaking of a person named Jesus in history is one thing, but as far as facts about his life and what he did, are purely religious. you cannot force your religion down other people's throats. evolution is a FACT. a proven fact.
besides, isn't religious studies a course in school? or is that only in college? (i've been out of high school for too long to know what they teach nowadays).

technology is ever changing and arising with new effects. So i think of they overlook to coach that its a theory and not a actuality, i might like them to contain creationism, yet no longer call for its actuality. the issue is not any one teaches youngsters to think of, or learn the probabilities. they only want little robots that repeat each and every thing they say. Freedom to think of isn't nicely-known at college. our youngsters could care much less approximately preparation besides simply by fact they are so bored spitting out "info"

yes, but, then again, no. I am a Christian, but I dont think that having Creationsim by a Christian God would be good in schools....think of what would happen.....the Muslims would have their theory, the Shintoist would want theirs up there, Buddhists would too....everyone would disagree and then kids would HAVE to learn about them all to be "fair"....I think that they should avoid the whole topic....They (the school system) shouldnt try to shove any believe system down our throats no matter what kind it is.....now as an elective...i could see that happening.
