R U for creation science being taught at schools rather than evolution?or even both subjects to not B bias!?

Answer 1

No. Creation "science" is not science at all.

Answer 2

Creation science? Since when should fairie tales be taught as a science? There is no scientific foundation for the creation story and therefore it should not be taught as a science of any kind. If the creation story is to be taught at all in public schools make it a elective theology class. It definitely does not belong in a science format.

Answer 3

Evolution should be taught as it is provable fact. Creation theory is NOT a science, has zero facts, and is the OPINION of only part of the population. It is religion, and not everyone has that same religion. It should be kept OUT of all schools forever. It has no plave in EDUCATION. It's no different than having a preacher come in and talk about Noah's Ark. If that's what you want, then go to Catholic school. But keep it out of the public system!!

Answer 4

Most of us (Christians) don't want creationism taught in science classes. What we want is for molecules-to-man evolution to be taught with all its warts (they are not even allowed to present evidence that would put evolution in a poor light).

And we want intelligent design to at least to be presented (that is science). Reliable methods for detecting design exist and are employed in forensics, archeology, and data fraud analysis. These methods can easily be employed to detect design in biological systems.

When being interviewed by Tavis Smiley, Dr. Stephen Meyer said, “There are developments in some technical fields, complexity and information sciences, that actually enable us to distinguish the results of intelligence as a cause from natural processes. When we run those modes of analysis on the information in DNA, they kick out the answer, ‘Yeah, this was intelligently designed’ . . . There is actually a science of design detection and when you analyze life through the filters of that science, it shows that life was intelligently designed.”

I agree with George Bush, "Both sides ought to be properly taught . . . so people can understand what the debate is about . . . Part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought . . . You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.”

Good science teaching should include controversies!

Answer 5

Well being that less than 1 percent of the scientific community supports the theory of Creationism, I see more bias in giving the creationists 50% of the teaching time. I would have no problem with them teaching creationism in philosophy class.

Answer 6

Creationism isn't scientific. Its a matter of faith. Public schools are not meant to teach our kids matters of faith.

If you don't believe in evolution, then you need to educate yourself on the theory so that you can explain to your own children the reasons you don't think its valid. There are thousands (probably more) of creation stories that date all the way back to the beginning of civilization. You can't promote one completely unproven idea without acknowledging all the other completely unproven ideas out there.

Even though I personally believe in "intelligent design", I don't think it should be taught in schools, either. All intelligent design suggests is that evolution was guided by a higher power.

Answer 7

"Creation science" is an oxymoron. Science classes should teach science, not politics.

I have no problem with the ID debate being taught in a current events or poli-sci class, but a student who wants a sound education in biology or geology needs to learn real science. "Creation science" does not meet those standards.

Answer 8

Well, since "creation science" is an oxymoron, of course not. It doesn't belong in schools since it is just a religious belief dressed up to look like something else. There's no way to test, let alone prove anything in it, so it cannot really be called a science. It doesn't offer a legitimate alternative to evolution, as, once again, it is not a science. It should remain in homes and churches where it belongs.

Answer 9

Evolution should be taught in science class. Creation should be taught in religion class elective.

Answer 10

Creationism is not science, unfortunately. The only people that want it taught in schools are people that don't know this. And there a couple little redneck school districts in the US whose administration is easily swayed by their local churches. That's the only reason it's even an issue.

On a national level, there is no chance that their mythology will worm its way into schools.... not even with an ignorant redneck in the oval office. There are some things the scientific community will not stand for. And that's one of them.

One might as well suggest that we start teaching alchemy in our chemistry classes, as well.

Answer 11

Evolution should be and is taught in biology class. This is because it is based in science and goes with biology. Creationism should and is taught in anthropology, history, and mythology. This is because it has to do with human beliefs and not science.
