Why isn't creation theory more popular in schools?

Answer 1

A theory is generally accepted as valid due to having survived repeated testing. Creationism is not much of a theory but a story.

Answer 2

Creation "theory" isn't taught in schools because it's not a theory. It's a theological opinion of a particular religious sect. Biblical creationism is not taught in science class because it Is. Not. Science. It is as "scientific" as any other cultural creation story, but I haven't seen anyone arguing, for example, that the Iroquois story of the creation of the world on the back of a giant turtle ought to be taught in science class.

Since Biblical creationism is a belief that has been culturally relevant for some time, it would absolutely be appropriate to include it in a study of the history and culture of Christendom. It would be highly inappropriate, however, to include it in a study of science. This is not to say that evolution theory is perfect; it is most definitely not. By definition, science is always a work in progress. Keep in mind, though, that it is not correct to assume that Biblical creationism is the default fall-back position wherever evolution theory needs more development. The Iroquois' giant turtle could just as easily be the default if we're automatically going to turn to a religious, rather than scientific, explanation.

Answer 3

Ok, read this and see which is more believable.

One day a magical being decided to create the earth. It took this magical being 7 days to make all of the earth and breath life to all beings.

vs.

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.
In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemaître's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance.

The big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery.

Answer 4

Because the leaders in charge of the school are mostly atheists or evolutionists. They don't want the students to be able to chose between Creation and evolution. They want to get funding from our atheistic/evolutionistic government.

The school officials should teach Creation alongside evolution and let the students chose what they want to believe. The students aren't incapable of making an informed decision.

Answer 5

It's not a theory.

It's not popular in schools for the same reason the Norse version of creation is not popular in schools.

Answer 6

Man in the world of man, want only for man to be right.

Man in the world of religion, want only for man to be right.

If and when they man starts trying to prove that God is right, Satan will surely be in the pit and the lovers of God and Christ and the word of God will have beeen left standing.

CREATION

Gen.1:1,2; Job 38:30-32; All exist when the story begans. Billions?
Gen.1:3-25;
Job 38:4-7; Angels the inhabitants of heaven, called morning stars and sons of God, see ages old earth prepared ages in time and time for all the story that the earth does tell [ if given in detail, it would still be an argument for man ]; is embedded in the earth for all to see. God's day as one through six and seven, existed when he gave plant life times and seasons, as 40 days and nights it rained and Noah was in the ark 375 days. All of the days for God will be one day Gen.2:2,4; Heb.4:1-12; We will all be saved and all will be a new as it was before Eden, when day seven ends, we will enter into the paradise of God as his family. Rev.2:7; 21:1-5; 2Pet.3:13; 22:14;

Answer 7

It is considered fringe science. Frankly, almost no biologist feel it is well supported. That both it and cold fusion are not taught are simply a sign that public schools are using some correct criteria for the selection of the curriculum.

Answer 8

They are constantly discovering new evidence that the creation theory is not true. Do you know how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? They evolve.

Answer 9

Because schools are concerned with teaching facts not Bronze-Age creation myths.
